Overall, this place worked out well for us. Not knowing Philadelphia at all, the reason we chose this place was the rooftop, which we used each day/night. It wasn't the most elaborate place to stay, but it worked well for us. (We were there for my brother's funeral, so we were grateful to have a place for all of us to be together.)
The owner was easily reached and kept us well informed when necessary.
The location was interesting. We're used to living in a house with a lot of land and a driveway, so staying in a rowhouse was a real change of pace for us.....not a bad one.
All in all, we were dry, cool and comfortable.
