Hands down the nicest VRBO I have stayed in Philadelphia. Great location near Rittenhouse Square, Walnut Street shopping, and excellent restaurants. There was even a nice grocery store across the street. The apartment was clean and modern with a well stocked kitchen. I would stay there again.

Great stay

The apartment was clean, spacious, and modern- loved the high ceilings. Terrific location 2-3 blocks off Rittenhouse square. Small upscale market across the street, lots of cafes and restaurants- everything was walkable. Will definitely stay here again!
