The Neighborhood:
Most people know about West Philadelphia from the show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The famous theme song intro put West Philly on the map and since 1990, the neighborhood has been enshrouded in a Will Smith mystique. But there's more to West Philadelphia than just that one verse.

Philadelphia is known for being a city comprised of diverse neighborhoods that were once independent towns. Over a few centuries, these towns were engulfed as the city expanded.

Once you cross the Schuylkill River along Center City’s western banks, West Philadelphia is a city on its own filled with Victorian mansions, an intricate network of trollies, an artist scene, and vibrant immigrant communities unlike any other section of Philadelphia.

If you come to Philadelphia and don’t go to West Philly, you're missing out!

Getting Around:
Philadelphia, one of the country’s most walkable cities, is incredibly easy to navigate either by foot or by public transportation. That just leaves one question: Where to park the car?

On-Street Parking
Philadelphia has thousands of metered spots throughout the city, perfect if you only plan to park for an hour or two.

For paid long-term parking, we'd be happy to share options with you once you book.

For moving around, you'll also find several bus stops, bike ride-sharing stations, and subway stations.

Otherwise, we recommend moving around the city using uber or lyft - its fairly affordable!

- The gym and common areas are available to use 24/7

- Pets are welcome for a $25/night cleaning fee (capped at $250/month)
- A $250 deposit may be collected before check-in, and ID collection/waiver may be required. Reservation are not eligible for refunds if these steps are not completed

Cool building and loft but some issues
We loved the building and apartment. Especially fun common room and great gym. Parking was a bit dicey, the neighborhood was sketchy, and there were no instructions in the apartment. We had to message the host to find out the Wi-Fi password and get check-out instructions. Also there was a fair amount of noise from the hallway, not ideal for small children who go to bed and nap when others are awake. One of the two bedrooms had no windows, and the kitchen was not well stocked for cooking, only the bare essentials.

Nice loft
We enjoyed our stay. Had to call owner when we arrived, forgot to give us apt # but answered our call right away. We have liked a TV in one of the bedrooms and there was no silverware but overall a great stay and nice weekend.
