The unit is very nice and we greatly appreciated the vintage period architecture. Location is excellent!! It is one block off Rittenhouse square and is very quite. In the neighborhood there is a ton of excellent restaurants, including My Loup directly across the street which just received a Michelin recommendation.
Check in was simple. I did have to reach out to get the info to check in, but it was very clear and included a video which was very informative and the host replied very quickly. The place was clean, beautiful and comfortable. Conveniently located in Rittenhouse Square. Would definitely stay again for future Philly trips!
