U City seemed like a safe fun place. Easy to get an Uber and explore the city. Beds were really comfortable. Space was really fun.

Our family had a very nice stay here.

We stayed here while attending a track meet at Franklin Field UPenn. It was an amazing house. Very clean, very comfortable, and plenty of space. The patio in the back made the stay extra nice. There are so many food options in the area to choose from and it is a short walk to Upenn.

The renovation of these row houses was very nice. The neighborhood is going thru changes, but we never felt unsafe. It is close to Drexel University. Philadelphia is a very friendly place.. There are neighborhood safety patrols at night.
However there wasn't a hair dryer in the entire place. There were no hand towels or wash cloths, or rags to clean up any spills. No bathmats. The bathroom rugs needed a cleaning. The backyard patio is really a very nice place to relax. We had a very hard time locating a trashcan. I had asked in advance about the hairdryer since I did not want to pack one, but never got an answer. So it is a nice place in a somewhat convenient area, but lacking just a bit. Hence the 3 stars.

The area is very sketchy - I have 3 toddlers and would not feel comfortable even walking to my car alone with them. The pictures were very deceiving - the remodel was nice but furnishings were so so. And the townhomes all around it were very scary w bars on windows. Because of this We never checked in and ended up getting a hotel more inner city. Would not consider this a 4.8 star rental
