    This is an ideal place for a couple / small family in an urban neighborhood setting in walking distance (35 mins) of the main historical sites, and also within 5 mins of bus lines / subway. There is a supermarket within 2 blocks, and great restaurants nearby (we loved SouthGate, Bistro La Baia, Schlessinger's, and Joe's Pizza). The apartment is very clean, the couch/bed are comfortable, there is a washer/dryer, and the heating/AC function very well. The balcony is a nice place to relax. The kitchen has all the plates, utensils, pans that you need. There were nice towels. Communication with the host was outstanding. He let us check in 90 mins early for a 20 fee, which I consider reasonable.This being said, I rated this location 4 stars instead of 5 because of noise. We expected a certain amount of noise being in an urban area, but there were 3 unexpected sources of noise:1) There is a wedding venue w/ a courtyard adjacent to the back of the apartment. The music was VERY LOUD Friday and Saturday. This music ended by sunset.2) There is a restaurant next door with outdoor seating, also adjacent to the back of the apartment. There was music/noise until 11PM each night.3) The person in the apartment above us seemingly stomped around late in the night each night. It was very loud at times (it woke me up once). This may have just been another renter but I'm not sure.If you are noise sensitive, this place may pose an issue. But if not it's 5 stars for sure.

    This is a perfect place for a weekend getaway in Philadelphia - clean, comfortable, with a wonderful back deck, and a fabulous location close to great shops, restaurants and the lovely Rittenhouse Square. The bed is super comfortable; great towels, good appliances. Host was very attentive and helpful. Check-in and check-out were simple and easy. We'll definitely book here again.

    Apartment and location were amazing! And the hosts were very quick to respond to any and all messages. There is an establishment downstairs that you could hear in the evenings on the weekend when you’re in the living room but it was quiet when you’re in the bedroom.

    This great apartment is perfect for one or two people. Clean. Excellent location. The team was easy to communicate with and responsive. There is a great restaurant and ice cream shop just below- so there is some noise in the evenings on the weekend, but I expect that in a city.

    I regularly use VRBO and have had good experiences but our stay here was disappointing. Thursday, Friday & Saturday night. We were in unit 2R, second floor and the downstairs neighbors had parties each night with loud music and a steady thumping beat late into the night. So disruptive that we actually left a day early.

    The space was perfect for the three of us, and the host provided an air mattress. They were also amazing about adjusting the length of my stay when I had a change of plans. It was only a 15 minute walk to the convention center, with lots of bars and restaurants along the way.
