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 apartment is in an enormous converted school. The apartment was ok- The floor is concrete which is ok- but the floor at the entrance was ugly and needed a rug or something to cover it. There weren't enough towels (they let us order a couple more from GoPuff so that was ok.) There were dishes (clean I guess) in the dishwasher when we arrived. The coffee pods for the Kurig looked kind of old, so we bought our own. Water pressure could have been better. On the plus side- the beds and sofa were comfortable and all the appliances worked. The neighborhood doesn't have a lot around if you're planning to spend much time hanging our there. It was fine- not great, but fine.
