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.

Absolutely love this property and plan on returning for a longer stay. Perfect size for 2-4 individuals, stylish and clean. Only negative is although the booking was a set price for the night, the property fee was almost the same price as one night so it’s basically double the price… Still very economical and worth the stay and every penny. Highly recommend this property, location is ideal!

Very comfortable and really close to the conventio

Very comfortable and really close to the convention center, clean, interesting design. It is next to the interstate so it is very loud when trying to sleep. It worked great for me and I may stay here again, just be warned.

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.

Cute place, conveniently located just a few blocks from the convention center! Walkable!! It was perfect for my short business trip!! Updated and modern, might need a little touch up paint just from every day wear and tear, but overall very nice, and had everything I needed! Customer service was also very helpful, and real time quick responsive even late at night and on the weekend!!

The apartment was the perfect size and location was excellent. The apartment could use a new coat of paint. The ceiling fan was disgustingly filthy. It was a white fan that looked black from all the dirt and dust.
