Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

Whether you're looking for a slick, studio-style apartment to return to after a long day's work in the city or searching for a quiet bolthole in the heart of the Old City district, this modern home is a great option. Location-wise you couldn't get much better, with the Colonial-era monuments and 18th-century buildings right on your doorstep. This area is as gorgeous as it is historic, with leafy green spaces (Franklin Square) and Delaware River trails a short walk away. Delve into the city's deep-rooted past and visit Liberty Bell (a fourteen-minute walk), Independence Hall (a fifteen-minute stroll) and take a wander down cobbled Elfreth's Alley (six minutes away), lined with elegant rowhouses that date back to the 1700s – it's said to be the oldest residential street in America. After a day spent sightseeing, browsing boutiques and sipping Bluecoat gin along South 2nd Street, return to your bright and contemporary home, with all of the usual mod-cons needed for a comfortable and cosy stay. Rest and recuperated, head downstairs to find a stylish, communal lounge where you can chat to your fellow residents and pick up all of those insider tips on what's hot in Philly.

    There's no access out onto the balcony.

    Due to the train tracks nearby, this location may be prone to some noise.

    Your host is available to help you 24/7.

    The kitchen is more of a kitchenette, better suited for preparing simple meals.
