The Chatham is a steal!
The price is several hundred dollars cheaper than any of the other apartments in the same location. Although the building is old, maintenance is reliable and things get fixed within a couple of days. I love the building's architecture, and as some others have said, it has a unique charm/character. My unit has tons of light (love the windows), and the hardwood floors are way better than the cheap carpet you find in most buildings. The only thing is the building does get quite cold in the winter -- can easily be solved with a space heater or a sweater! All in all, a great value.
I love the Chatham
The Chatham is by far the best deal around. I have a huge 1-bedroom apartment with all utilities included for the price of a small studio in other doorman-buildings. The only downside is that the building is old, which is a turn-off for some people, but since I love the charm it was a selling point for me. There is no gym in the building, but otherwise it has everything I want, and a good Wharton contingency as well.
The Chatham is a terrific value
The rent is very reasonable and utilities are included. While its certainly not as luxurious as some of the Rittenhouse Square apartments, it's clean, spacious, and has its own charm.

Rittenhouse Square Reviews
Spruce Street in particular is great - it's a little south of the square, so is quieter/shielded from a lot of the traffic that the neighborhood gets, but it's not out of the way or far away. There's a Starbucks, a grocery store (Rittenhouse Market), and a few corner stores (Four Seasons and Food & Friends) within a 2-3 minute walk of my apartment.
