    Don’t be put off by the location. Yes the neighbourhood is down market and its a little dirty but the apartment is first class. There is a corner shop 2 minutes away and we found the locals very friendly. Heaps of room for a couple with full kitchen. Easy access on checkin with excellent communication. Very clean and a very comfortable Bed. The number 47 bus stops outside the apartment and it only costs $2.50 and its 10 minutes to get to Market St in the centre of Philadelphia.
