lovely unit

i stayed for five nights in this lovely, sparkling clean unit. The host created a very welcoming environment. The location is very near to the CHOP medical campus and Ronald McDonald House. Walking in the surrounding neighborhood seemed quite safe. I recommend this choice highly.

Great stay while visiting daughter at UPenn

We had a great stay! The place was a short walk to U Penn campus. Plenty of shops and restaurants within a 10-minute walk. Very clean, plenty of space for the two of us, and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Thanks for being a great host!
