Great location
Our lodging was perfect for our needs. Plenty of nearby eating and drinking establishments, Close to Drexel and Penn, and 15 minutes to downtown Philadelphia. The rooms were very clean, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was adequately equipped and the neighborhood felt safe.

Family Gathering
This was a wonderful property where our family was able to gather from different areas of the country and celebrate Thanksgiving together. The host was very accommodating and communicative. The 2 duplexes were so cute and well equipped. The area was so great and we loved getting our lunges done on the stairs!
