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!

The unit was very well appointed with comfortable beds. Location was very convenient. It was a nice “home away from home” for our family while one was in the hospital. We would stay again if needed.

Problems from the start
The apartment appeared to be a good fit with space, proximity to UPenn for a track event and a unique space. I reserved through VRBO. Requested early checkin when reservation was made as well as day of checkin, response was they cannot guarantee early checkin- no attempt to accommodate. Finally at 4:20pm we checked in, parking was a problem. Room was still dirty and not ready. Floors were very dirty, beds made but pillows on floor, food and drinks scattered across apt, dirty dishes in opened dishwasher, fridge had snacks and drinks of cleaning people. I called Sosuite- they told me to take photos and send to a separate email. Lather, the cleaning people came to finish and said Sosuite should have told me the room wasn’t ready. They cleaned the room for next 40 minutes with us in there, sprayed heavy air fragrance and gave us pillowcases to put on our pillows. No response from Sosuite. Next day, parents of track teammates and team met in common area of West Loft to go to UPenn together. Received a text I was charged $100 for a “having a party with unregistered guests”. They were- quick to charge us the money and never addressed checkin mess. When I asked about $100 charge and what about the checkin mess? They sent emails stating they were bringing up to management and would get back because they understand frustration. Never got back, every time I followed up, same response. Dealing with the company was such a disappointment- they don’t listen or care

Nice property. Suite was on 1st floor and off the parking lot so noisy at times. Within walking distance to U Penn. The common area game room with ping pong and pool table was fun.
