Excellent place. Friendly staff. Good location
Staff is always available when I need them, and always happy to help with a smile on their face. They are organized and responsive, and are always actively working to make the building better.
I have lived here for a year and half. The management group is great and gets back to be in a timely manner. The location is fantastic, and compared to other nearby apartments, it's a great value. There are three issues that I would like to bring up, listed in order of importance. The first thing is the lighting. This apartment only has two windows: one for the living room and one small one in the kitchen. This means there are no windows in the bedroom, which absolutely wrecked my circadian rhythm. More generally, the lack of direct sunlight makes the apartment feel very dark. Your natural light comes from the sun bounding off the brick wall across the alleyway; the sun will never come straight in through your windows. As someone who works from home, this is by far the biggest issue I have with the apartment. The second thing is the noise of the bar downstairs. While the bar usually closes at 11, they host private parties and comedy nights that can go indefinitely into the night. These events happen about every two weeks and will typically go until about 2:30 in the morning. However, every once in a while, they will be blaring music until 6 am, during which sleep is impossible. If you're a night owl like me, then this is more of an annoyance than a total deal breaker, but still very annoying when it happens. Finally, the wood floors are somewhat worn out. They are starting to peel up, and there are several uneven screws in the floor. This is a recipe for torn socks and makes it almost impossible to use a Swiffer broom because the pad snags. I know I just complained a lot, but this has been a perfectly fine apartment. It's clean, it's safe, and it's in a super convenient part of town for running errands and having fun on the weekends.

My partner and I just moved into the building approximately three months ago, and our experience has been pleasantly surprising. Unlike most buildings, the housing manager responds quickly, and the corresponding maintenance is performed promptly. Furthermore, the location is safe, quiet, and full of history. On top of that, the apartment is spacious, giving my partner ample room to work from home without feeling smothered by their work station. For the price we pay to stay here, this could only be described as a hidden gem.

I have lived here for about 7 months now and have really enjoyed this apartment! The location is unmatched, and the apartment is spacious and fits me and my partner perfectly. Being in Center City obviously comes with some cons, like the loud drivers on Walnut Street, but the proximity that we are to so many amazing restaurants, parks, and other public amenities completely outweighs the negatives. The staff are extremely helpful and kind, and the maintenance staff are quick and efficient. There are some aspects of upkeep that could be a bit better. For example, our apartment was not cleaned upon moving in, and the washer and dryer that are shared amongst everyone in the building are not great quality (my clothes always end up still wet after a drying cycle). There have been some other little things, mainly pertaining to cleanliness in the basement and upon moving in, but in all I feel this unit is worth it!

Management is attentive and maintence efficient
I've lived here since August and it's a wonderful location, convenient to bus routes, the subway, and Center City. Maintenance is fantastic and is quick to address our concerns. Our only complainant is that we still have to pay for laundry after being told when we initially signed the lease that laundry would be free.
