The Study at University City

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and everything in working order. Front desk staff INCREDIBLY attentive and nice; one man went to the restaurant to get me a bucket of ice and offered to go get me a breakfast menu. When I checked in they accommodated me with a room facing away from the busy street. Self park 2 blocks away which is half the price of the hotel valet. The lady at the desk even told me how to get there!"

"Super convenient area with a aldis walking distance . Free on site parking was awesome for this city . Parking garage is open to the public and very dark so that was a little sketchy . But the room was awesome"

Modern Studio Walk to UPenn Univ &Hosp & Drexel. Ideal for travel professionals

10/10 Excellent

"My partner and I loved staying at this VRBO. I surprised him with a trip for the weekend for his birthday and it was perfect for what we needed ! The only thing that was frustrating was the parking situation as there is only 2 hour parking outside of this place and we did end up getting a ticket as we slept in past the two hour mark for Saturday morning, the parking is only 2 hours from 8-6 Mon-Sat, so in the future we would look for different parking that would have to be further away from the actual place. This is completely out of Akia’s control, so no fault to her, just a note I thought I should share for future renters! Thank you for everything Akia! We will definitely consider this property for future stays!"

Charming 1-bedroom apartment with AC in lively Philadelphia / a beautiful view.

"It’s really a nice place to stay when you have kids! Water Ice next door and the park across the street was perfect!"

BrotherlyLove—Charming 2-bedroom house with WiFi, AC in lovely Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean place made for a pleasant stay! It had enough room and amenities for what we needed. It was in a rough inner city neighborhood but the place was very nice. However we tried using the oven a couple times and it didn’t reach a temp over 200 degrees. The stove was nice and used it with no issues and we were able to cook. The front steps need a hand rail as we had some trouble getting up and down the stairs. But other than that we loved it and was perfect for what we needed with our 2 kids. Parking was a little difficult with it being only street parking but we managed to get a spot not too far away."
