Travel tips

Public parking is not included on-site, so guests should plan to use paid public parking nearby and consider the BestParking app to compare rates in the area. The location makes a car largely unnecessary, with a bus stop steps from the door and subway and train stations under a kilometer away for reaching the rest of the city or the airport. Note that the unit is on the second floor and quiet hours (10 PM–8 AM) are strictly enforced in the building.

What guests say

Guests consistently praise the unbeatable Center City location, citing easy walking access to UPenn, restaurants, and the river walk, and several note the apartment felt quiet since it faces the rear of the building. Reviewers found the unit functionally equipped and matching its photos, with responsive host support that quickly resolved missing-item issues like hangers and a bath mat. A recurring complaint was the absence of drinking glasses (only children's cups and mugs were provided), and some mentioned the small bathroom and a somewhat tired shared building entrance and hallway, even though the apartment interior itself was considered fine.
