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!

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?

Disliked: Cleanliness

Do NOT stay here!!!

This place looks good but really is not a good place to stay. It is not in a great part of Philly. It was not very clean. DO NOT drink the water; it tastes TERRIBLE, nor should you use it to make coffee or tea. The kitchen is so sparse that it is useless for cooking. There is too much noise in this condo; we could hear the TV from the condo next door. The bathrooms look good, but don’t function well. Do yourself a favor! Stay some place closer to the action in Philly and owner by an individual NOT a company like SoSuite!!!

Family Time

The security staff working in the West Lofts were great. We appreciated their care, help and service. We loved having the space in the loft to have a kitchen, common area, queen size beds and 2 bathrooms. My family was able to eat, visit and play board games and were close to UPenn where we had an appointment.
