My grandfather purchased this building in 1930 using it as his furniture store. My father developed the building into 20 offices and 16 condos selling off several while keeping this penthouse unit for himself.

I spent 5 days in the condo and felt very comfortable and safe, excellent security at building entry. I thought it was even nicer than the photos. Very nice kitchen with everything supplied. Excellent location for historical sites. Great neighborhood, very quiet during the day, more festive (some street noise but not too bad) on the weekend nights. Quick 2 minute walk to subway. One negative is no view but great quiet 5th floor apt.with excellent sunlight during day.
Recommended for:Tourists without a car, sightseeing, pet owners, families with young children.

We were visiting Philadelphia to see family for Christmas and stayed for week. The condo proved an excellent place to stay with lots of space for my wife, 7 year old son, and I. The space is very attractive and having the full kitchen and washer/dryer was wonderful (there is also a hair dryer and ironing board). The condo was very nicely kept and looks as good or better than the pictures represent. The historic sites were literally just steps away; Penn's Landing is right outside the door, Christ Church and Franklin Court are only a block away, a couple more blocks to Carpenter's Hall and Independence Hall and we also found it easy to walk to the museum district and the Reading Terminal Market (a must see - we had a couple of wonderful dinners courtesy of the various shops in the market such as By George's, where we bought fresh pasta and meatballs which we cooked up at the condo and a bake at home stromboli. We also bought some great breakfast sausage and maple syrup from the Pennsylvania Dutch market, as well as fudge, fresh fruit, etc). The condo's owner recommended the car sharing service, Zipcar, which proved very useful when we were traveling out of the city to see family and to visit the Delaware Art Museum (another neat area attraction, as is the Brandywine Museum). There are all sorts of places to eat within easy walking distance, as well as a variety of markets. Public transportation and the Zipcar cars are also very accessible. We had a great visit and I would highly recommend this condo as a place to stay when visiting Philadelphia!

This condo was absolutely perfect! My husband and I had a great weekend getaway. I would recommend the condo to anyone coming to visit Philadelphia. Great location to walk around and do some sightseeing. It was also easy to hop on the subway, take a taxi, or walk up to center city and Reading Terminal. Thanks for making us feel at home!

We haven't stayed in many vacation rentals and this was a very nice change from hotels. It was clean, very comfy, and was in a great neighborhood. We spent a few days walking around independence park and were able to come back and rest in the condo during the day. Really worked well for the family.

Came into town for a trade show at the convention center and this worked out perfectly for me. It was a short walk to the convention center or a 5 dollar cab or I one day I took the subway which was very easy. I think it was the second stop. Got on it one block from the flat. I will definitly be contacting you again when I am back in phildelphia. Cheers

We stayed in this unit for 4 nights and loved the convenient location, the spotless condition of the condo and the washer and dryer in the unit. This will be our home away from home when we come to visit our daughter. The historic Philadelphia and plenty of nice restaurants are right there. You can walk to everything.

Condo was great - fully furnished and very clean. Location couldn't be better with many historic attractions within a few blocks, lots of dining options and public transportation very close by. We're definitely staying here again. For future travelers - there's a little grocery and a liquor store just one block away.

This loft and its location couldn't have been more ideal for our Philadelphia visit. The atmospheres of both loft and neighborhood were exactly what we were looking for. Very convenient for excellent restaurants, shopping, and historical sites. Plus, all within walking distance. We're definitely staying here again.
