Excellent accommodation in newly and attractively decorated, spacious and well-appointed apartment, with a lovely terrace directly out of apartment (i.e. no stairs up to terrace), with both sun and shade, so you can eat easily on terrace. Great sunrise and nighttime views over main Downtown area, including One Liberty Plaza. Very responsive and attentive owner, who replied to all emails within minutes.
You can comfortably walk to Independence Hall in under 30 minutes (which we did, both ways, even in the very hot days we stayed in August), and can easily detour via the Italian Market and the beautiful 18th century, narrow, tree-lined avenues alleys around Washington Square along the route. The description makes no mention of parking, but - whilst busy - with a little bit of planning and navigating one-way streets, we were able to park our rental car literally right in front of door up to apartment for our whole time there and noticed from the terrace there was often a parking space nearby.
Very safe, lively up-and-coming neighbourhood in South Philly. Geno's and Pat Steakehouse are just minutes away - you can easily buy cheesesteaks to go, and eat them whilst still warm on terrace back at apartment, and it is so close you can choose time to avoid any queues! Large supermarket is just across street, and is a pleasant store with all you need including deli, wine and beer in store. Great end to our holiday in US. Best thing was the ability to park safely right in front, leave car and just walk to and from Downtown in safe and character neighbourhood.
