Do not stay here!!

-The street noise was extremely loud all night. Earplugs barely helped it was so loud. -The bathroom was completely unheated and freezing. -The room was also really cold but after a very long wait the heat finally made the room warm enough that we weren't shivering if we took our coats off. -The water pressure in the shower was low. -The coffee machine was broken. - The venetian blinds controls were broken.

Alojamiento estupendo en el que sin duda repetiremos si volvemos a Philadelphia.

Pros: Estamos hablando de un aparthotel por lo que ni desayuno ni limpieza estaban incluídas en el precio. La ubicación es fantástica, justo en el centro de Philadelphia. Cons: Quizá la poca insonorización de las ventanas. Nuestra habitación daba a la calle y por las noches se oía el bullicio de coches y gente.

Great accommodation that we will definitely repeat if we return to Philadelphia.

Pros: We are talking about an aparthotel so neither breakfast nor cleaning were included in the price. The location is fantastic, right in the center of Philadelphia. Cons: Perhaps the poor soundproofing of the windows. Our room faced the street and at night you could hear the hustle and bustle of cars and people.
