The Neighborhood:
Most people know about West Philadelphia from the show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The famous theme song intro put West Philly on the map and since 1990, the neighborhood has been enshrouded in a Will Smith mystique. But there's more to West Philadelphia than just that one verse.
Philadelphia is known for being a city comprised of diverse neighborhoods that were once independent towns. Over a few centuries, these towns were engulfed as the city expanded.
Once you cross the Schuylkill River along Center City’s western banks, West Philadelphia is a city on its own filled with Victorian mansions, an intricate network of trollies, an artist scene, and vibrant immigrant communities unlike any other section of Philadelphia.
If you come to Philadelphia and don’t go to West Philly, you're missing out!
Getting Around:
Philadelphia, one of the country’s most walkable cities, is incredibly easy to navigate either by foot or by public transportation. That just leaves one question: Where to park the car?

Another host cancelled last minute and so glad we ended up here instead! Spacious unit with spectacular windows. Loved the character of the building and walking distance to stores, SEPTA and great restaurants.

Has potential
I don’t like to write negative reviews but since I stay in many VRBOs, I do find them important. First I would say the pricing for this unit was fair. I should have realized there were issues because it was less expensive. If there is more than one of you (my adult son came) and you are going to come back to the unit late at night, there is only one key fob so the 2nd person has no access unless I woke at 2am to go downstairs and let him in. He ended up staying in his sister’s dorm defeating the whole purpose of getting a 2BR. Second, the bathroom is tiny and I mean tiny. The vanity is so small you can’t maybe just rest your toothbrush and toothpaste. And there is no shelving nearby to put your stuff. The bathroom floor wasn’t spotless so it was a bit unnerving. Last, if I recall, there was no shade on the upstairs bedroom window so no room darkening. Since I was mostly there to sleep that was disappointing. I do remember the beds being comfortable and my kids thought the loft was very cool but you are not in a very nice area so plan on taking an Uber everywhere. Also parking is only on the street and that’s not easy. I didn’t review this right away because I felt bad but I just got another request and decided I should review. I will stay at a hotel on the UPenn campus for sure next time.
