Really well laid out studios - separated kitchen, eat-in nook, and an enormous walk-in closet / bathroom. Higher level floors (I'm on 8) have a great view of Philadelphia (towards the Schuykill). Period hardwood floors. Location cannot be beat. Doormen are friendly. Building doesn't have a gym but I opted for classes / gym membership instead. Not a popular building amongst Wharton students but it's definitely overlooked - there are 30+ Wharton people here!

The townhouse is great value for money. I’m very happy with the building. There’s a great super, doormen, and the location is good. But since no one cares about what’s great, here’s what’s not so great:
Loud outside noises easily penetrate (depends on apartment location), management company is a pain to deal with, seemingly random and somewhat frequent water shutdowns and building work and radiators can make the building too hot (hard to control temp).

I love the apartment. It is a very spacious 1 bedroom at a reasonable price. I have a southwest facing corner apartment, so the light and views are great. The location is perfect near Rittenhouse Square and near bus routes. The management and doormen are very responsive. All my maintenance requests have been handled in a very timely and professional manner. The management does like things to be done in particular ways though (e.g. you need to request day in advance when you can move in to get elevator access). It is an older building, so there aren't the amenities found in newer buildings, such as a pool, gym, social spaces. I don't have laundry or dishwasher in my unit (some units are newly renovated and have them but they are more expensive). There is laundry and bike storage in the basement.

Great location, quiet, amazing doormen. Refurbished apartments are really nice.

The apartment and facilities are clean. I like the layout of the studios, It makes you feel as if you have more space than you do, with a large built in closet and a dining area that I use as an office. I haven't had any issues with noise. Very quiet with respect to outside noise and you can't hear your neighbors. The doormen are very helpful and friendly. Management is super quick to fix things - usually addresses issues same day. Location is pretty good, being right near Rittenhouse square.

Only things that I would reconsider for next time would be that there is no common area so all guests need to be hosted in my apartment. The laundry machines are coin operated so its a bit of a hassle to get quarters now and then to do laundry. The building is old so sometimes things don't work well. I had an incident in my apartment when there was a water leak and my ceiling collapsed due to the water collecting on top of it. This happened in the span of an hour, but the management came in right away to start cleaning and built up the ceiling while I was at school the next day.

If I were to do it again, I would probably live in the same place because the pros have seemed to outweigh the cons. The price is good. I would consider getting a 1 bedroom instead of a studio so that I can host more people.

The Townhouse apartments are in a great location you get a lot more space than nearby high rise apartments. The Renovated Units are a fantastic value. The doormen are outstanding and management and the maintenance team are always responsive and ready to help. Despite the renovations, the building itself is on the older end, but I haven't had any issues from that.

I've had a bunch of issues this year -- cockroaches, a water leak that ruined my closet and has led to clothes lying everywhere in my apartment. Management is responsive, but not nice. I'm certainly not living here next year, and I will definitely be living in a much newer apartment building with more of a community and an included gym.

This is an older building but many of the units and common spaces have been re-done and look fresh. The location is great - right across the street from Metropolitan Bakery / Cafe and on the quieter (and nicer IMHO) part of Rittenhouse Square. The staff (doormen, management, repair) are all very responsive and helpful. What this building lacks in amenities it more than makes up for in how well run it is.

The apartment is very nice. It has been recycled because its an old building and it has high ceilings and hardwood floors which i always prefer. The location is one of the best things. One block away from Rittenhouse Sq. The area is beautiful and it's also very close to grocery stores and many bars and restaurants. The building has laundry but doesn´t have any other amenities: no pool or gym, so if you want that this is not a good option.
The administration is good. We haven´t had any big issues so far, except for the fact that they spent most summer fixing the building and we had contractors outside our windows at 7 am every morning, which was a little bit annoying.

An older building so there have been some elevator/maintenance issues. But staff try to respond quickly and the location is amazing. I would live here again.
