This apartment/studio was perfect for a long weekend. Very nice and thoughtful design of the space and amenities. While there is no concierge, the check-in and check-out process was smooth, instructions were clear and easy to understand, and I received quick responses to any questions. Location in old city is excellent and provided a good base for exploring Philly. Highly recommend

Excellent stay. The location was perfect for a quick weekend getaway with my husband. The room we stayed in was just perfect. Self check in was seamless and easy. I was grateful to Lokal for allowing us an early check in due to my having a migraine when I arrived. I felt very accommodated and will absolutely be back. The room is an entire vibe. I can’t wait to come back!

The room was very nice but unfortunately there was a sex toy left behind in one of the drawers that the staff missed when cleaning the room before we got there. It made me uncomfortable and worried about the cleanliness of the room. I feel this shouldn’t be overlooked as it is a potential health and safety hazard. Otherwise the amenities and everything were very nice.
