Although the ambience of the apartment fell short of the photos, the quick responsiveness of the host, the low price at the time we booked it, free street parking, and the location within walking distance--or an affordable 10-15 Uber--of the places we wanted to go made up for the cosmetic flaws. A lot of upgrades have been done to provide a clean space in an old building in the city. The sheets and towels were soft and clean, and there were 4 pillows on each comfortably firm queen bed. The master bedroom has 2 queen beds, lots of closet space, and an en suite bathroom. We only used the kitchen for breakfasts, so check with the host about kitchen inventory if you need to do any serious cooking or baking. Parking was a challenge, but we were able to find free street parking without time restrictions (after saying our prayers). Look carefully for parking signs noting restrictions. Check in and check out were smooth. Good food and a CVS pharmacy are a short walk away. Bar Hygge was a nice, unique place for dinner just around the corner. Pete's Famous Pizza, just down the street, had great Philly cheesesteaks and photo endorsements on the wall from such icons as Shaquille O'Neal, Carl Lewis, and Tim McGraw, to name a few. If you have any questions or issues or need anything, the host is very responsive and helpful, which we greatly appreciated. After an initial sense of let down, it worked out well, and we were thankful to have found an affordable place for our family of 6.
