All the amenities for experienced urban travelers

Abode was great for a commuter stay in Philadelphia. Just north of the convention center, it was a healthy walk, easy car ride from downtown. They did a great job of updating the space. I would recommend for longer term as it has all the amenities. The second floor bed/bath offered a unique urban vibe. My unit was upstairs so I got in my steps! It's on the highway, but has double pane windows.

Worst stay ever! First there is long long ling paperwork to be filled, involves taking selfies with the ID then sign long list of agreement , if someone else is booking on your behalf they have to take selfie share the picture of credit card share the statement of 2 $ deduction even though i had my full charges cut already. There is a chinese funeral home right behind the property, you wake up with the fireworks and music right outside your window. Weird guys standing in the corner all day and smoking is a plus. Check in time was 4:00 pm and cleaning crew was in the property till 5:30 pm even though I requested early check in . Please save yourself from this horrible horrific property.

This property is literally on a highway! So loud!

This property is on a highway. It is INCREDIBLY loud. The earplugs they leave on the nightstands are jokes. They are honest about the no elevator thing, just a staircase, (with boxes filled with cleaning supplies I guess on the sides all the way up), but we could not find a firescape in the unit we were in so dont know what you would do if there was a fire. They were very prompt with communication while getting you to jump through all the hoops of making the reservation and paying but then it was radio silence when I tried to contact them after we arrived. No response to texts, phone calls or emails. We left the property a few hours after arriving. And still no response to communications for days to come.

I went into this reading reviews that it was loud...this needs to be stressed x10!!! Yes they give you earplugs, it is located at a street light where cars are trying to make it through light, or taking off at light, & directly next to hwy that is sunken like a U shape & it just amplifies all the traffic. Something about the town there is a lot of racing & speeding and revving, crotch rockets going by over & over alllll night long. There is nothing the property can do about this. Just warning, if you have kids & want to get sleep stay like a half block further towards the city. Now the property, there was an issue with the door code they were very good at communication & fixed that right away. The unit had all the things the pictures showed, but it needs a deep cleaning there were splats on walls behind the bed, holes in walls, . Our feet were covered with "stuff" when we went to get in bed, like floors arent clean, a lot of hair around on floor. The linens are stained i doubt they wash the comforter. The bathroom shower tiles had a lot of black mildew. Theres no photos of bathroom, there is no sink counter space, just a shelf behind toilet to store toiletries. The washer/dryer combo didn't get the clothes dry just less wet. I went into this with an open mind, i have stayed at worse condition places in my life, but these things must be said, for you to consider for your stay and where you spend your money.

While the property is nice, the line I was given to call for issues rang out for 15 minutes until I gave up. After walking up the stairs to find out we had been locked out multiple times we were eventually given a key. The property is fine for walking around if that’s what you’re looking for but I would NOT recommend to anyone with knee issues, a lot of luggage or orlder guests. We also had to pay over 150 in parking to be able to park our rental nearby.

This location was very convenient. Walkable to trader joes and the city and close to my daughter’s apartment too! It is on a busy street. I had no problem sleeping but it might be an issue for some. We were on the third floor and there is no elevator. I wouldn’t recommend this if you have older people in your party. It was a good workout for us especially with luggage.

Prepare yourself for an avalanche of paperwork just to be allowed to check in to the property…including pictures of your credit card transactions (to validate that they made a small charge to your card) and a selfie of you and your drivers license. I’m not kidding. And if you have a guest prepare yourself to do this all over again for them. Once you make it to your room, make sure you have noise cancelling headphones and / or a good white noise machine, as this property is less than ten meters from the freeway. After one night sleeping there you’ll realize why they thoughtfully provided foam ear plugs at each of the side tables next to the bed. Needless to say, we will not stay there again. But if you enjoy experiences like drivers’ license reversals or filing complicated income tax returns, this just might be the place for you.

Starting for the communication, they send a lot of questionary at the same day of your check-in. I was in traffic trying to find all the requests very confusing and repetitive. My check-in was released late because of a bunch of request. The apt is very noise, mainly Saturday night. It is next to an avenue and all lights and outdoors lights from streets comes inside the apt all night long. I do not recommend to who has sleep issues. Not very clean. A ear plug are supplied by the host as regular procedure. No space for closes or luggage in the bedroom near the bathroom. No soap available in my bathroom but the little one to wash hands.

Philly tattoo convention weekend

The apartment was perfect for 3 adults, 2 in the bedroom; 1 on the sofa bed. Plenty of room to move around. Well-appointed with appliances; dishes, etc that you would need for eating in. Bed was extremely comfortable and that is usually my biggest problem. Everything was clean. The paint could use some touch up in places but you can tell it’s just from wear and tear and not dirty. Nicely furnished with sharp accents and furniture!! Extremely convenient to parking and attractions in center city.
