This Sosuite features dedicated workspaces, fully-equipped kitchen, and everything you need for a couple of days or a year-long stay.

Upon booking, you’ll get access to Sosuite's mobile guide to Philadelphia’s best-kept secrets and hidden gems, as curated by locals.

You will be close to so much that Philly has to offer:
→ Across the street from Union Transfer
→ 15-min walk to Reading Terminal Market
→ 9-min drive to Rittenhouse square

Guest Access:
You will have exclusive, private access to your Sosuite apartment. In addition, you will have access to the lobby, which was designed by renowned local artist Natalie McDonald, and the building's fitness center.

The Neighborhood:
Just a few blocks North of Center City, Spring Garden is a calm neighborhood has significant cultural attractions. The architecture is mid-to-late 19th century, and the neighborhood has many restaurants and bars nearby. It is also much easier to park in this neighborhood than Center City, to take into account if you're coming by car!

It’s also a few minutes from the city’s most historic neighborhoods — including Old City and Society Hill — as well as many tourist attractions, on Independence Mall and elsewhere.

By its proximity to Center City, Spring Garden is the ideal choice for any traveler looking to travel by car, or looking for a quieter neighborhood while still enjoying all the benefits the city has to offer.

Getting Around:
Philadelphia, one of the country’s most walkable cities, is incredibly easy to navigate either by foot or by public transportation. That just leaves one question: Where to park the car?
ON-SITE PARKING:
The building offers paid parking starting at $25/day (discounts for longer stays)
We’ll share the link to reserve your spot with them once you book.
ON-STREET PARKING
Philadelphia has thousands of metered spots throughout the city, perfect if you only plan to park for an hour or two. The area near this unit usually has a little street parking available. Be sure to read all parking signs very carefully before leaving your car to avoid ticketing and towing during hours in which parking may be prohibited.
OTHER OPTIONS
For moving around, you'll also find several bus stops, bike ride-sharing stations, and subway stations.
Otherwise, we recommend getting around the city using Uber or Lyft - its fairly affordable & we'd be happy to share discount codes with you!

Other Things to Note:
- The gym is open from 7 am to 9 pm
- There is an accessible ramp at the left-hand side entrance of the building
- Parking details will be provided after booking. The gated lot has covered and uncovered options, and you are allowed to come and go as needed during your stay. Rates start at $25-$10(discounts for longer stays, with a cap of $300 per month)
- Extra cleaning services can be requested during your stay for an additional fee
- Pets are welcome for $25/night max 2 pets (capped at $250/month)
- A $250 deposit may be collected before check-in, and ID collection/waiver may be required. Reservation are not eligible for refunds if these steps are not completed.

Interaction with Guests:
If you have any questions or concerns throughout your stay, we're happy to help you. We are available in real-time from 9am to 1am 7-days a week. Don't hesitate to send us a message, a text or to give us a call.

Read before staying

- Check in process took over an hour - The room we booked had not been cleaned - We were moved to another room, but had to vacate the second room to move back to the original room the next day and did not have access to a room between 9am and 5pm - It took over an hour to back get in to the original room on the second day (standing in a hallway, exhausted, with kids, next to another apartment where drug use was clearly happening) because the apartment manager could not reset the lock - The couch in the apartment is not the pull-out couch pictured - The lobby is dirty and desk attended is unaffiliated with the property managers and unable to assist - The neighborhood is scary - trash everywhere, people asking for handouts, run down buildings, rats, bouncers posted outside restaurants - VRBO was unhelpful with the situation

Great location for what we needed.

The Suite worked out great for us. We had a long term stay requiring the need for a nearby hospital. We were only half mile from everything we needed. Simon responded quickly to a couple of requests and we appreciated that.

Excellent property clean rooms and comfy beds

Me and my mom stayed at the apartment for our trip to Philly. And we enjoyed the apartment very much. The host is excellent in communication. The unit is very clean and stocked with clean towels and coffee pods to get our day going which is excellent. The check in process is super easy. Both beds are very comfortable. The location is close to everything. Overall, a great choice with excellent services and host. Would definitely stay at the property again.

Christmas week for medical needs

The apartment was bright and cheerful. We felt very comfortable inside which was important as I couldn't leave the apartment...doctors orders. We had our dogs with us also. The location was most challenging outside when walking the dogs. The street was littered with trash or broken glass. That was disappointing. Otherwise a nice place.

Convenient location for exploring on foot!

We loved the building for it's location, cleanliness, and safety. We were able to walk to Chinatown and Center City with ease and we felt safe and cozy inside. It was also very convenient to have on site parking and not have to deal with the hassle of finding and paying for parking each time we left the room. When we arrived our first evening, we were starving and were delighted to find a restaurant and bar located on the premises as well. I will definitely be booking here again for our next trip to Philly.

This apartment was right around the corner from my client and was the perfect place to stay for several days. Much better than a hotel. It was clean, spacious, had great views, comfortable bed and ample kitchen ware to make my own dinners. Would absolutely stay here again!

Nice place, cool loft

Centrally located, within 2 miles of everything. Tougher for the dog, no grass anywhere nearby, and the side streets looked kinda sketchy but we didn’t feel unsafe. Front desk lady was outstanding, place was comfortable, clean, and quiet, noises of the city seemed to be significantly reduced with the windows closed. Good food in the restaurant in the lobby area.

Comfy beds & Parking! Do you really need anything more?

Loved getting a good night's rest on the comfy beds and pillows! Also appreciated that the comforter had a duvet (I'm all about knowing bedding is clean.). The washer/dryer were great -- especially during the pandemic when I may be a bit neurotic about cleanliness. Another MAJOR plus was the garage. It's almost impossible to get street parking and it was invaluable being able to come and go as we pleased without having to worry about where to park when we returned. Seamless check-in/check-out too. Good, central location close to everything, but can't say I'd walk our family around the neighborhood so for us driving was a necessity. The apartment was on the no-frills side, but comfortable! Would stay again.

Nice place for a Weekend Stay

This place is a beautiful hideout from the hustle and bustle of the city. We enjoyed the hip, quiet, spacious and well-lit apartment with many amenities for a family traveling with a small baby. The on-site parking was particularly helpful. Some things in the unit were missing, but the property manager was quick to check in on us and to provide the missing items. Would definitely stay here again.

Philly Trip

The apartment complex & individual unit was as pictured. On the whole we had a pleasant experience, however, things could be improved. For example, the floors (while swept) could use a cleaning. The smell of cigarette smoke in the hallway & elevator was incredibly bothersome. I am pleased that my requests sent through email were handled quickly.

Great City Views & Convenient Location

GREAT LOCATION! Excellent communication with Property Manager! This spacious unit has many large windows with beautiful views of the city! We traveled from Virginia to Philly during COVID over spring break for our son to tour Temple University, as an admitted student to the Tyler School of Architecture. Independence Lofts has a gated parking lot/parking garage, so we felt our vehicle & bikes were safe & secure as we parked in the garage. Once we parked, our family never drove anywhere until check-out time. We rode bicycles to & from Temple University - it was 1.7 miles away and a ten minute bike ride. We rode bikes to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and got on the Schuylkill River Trail. Having two bedrooms and a large bathroom was nice. Unit is modern and industrial with cool architectural features. It was a little bit loud with noise from other units or outside when trying to sleep. We used whit noise on my phone to block out noise and that worked well. It was a little bit warm in our unit, so we didn't need the comforter (just our sheet) as cover at night. We enjoyed our stay, and I highly recommend Independence Lofts!

Cool urban loft

Enjoyed our quick stay in this cool apartment with full kitchen. Amazing views of downtown Philly! We had a great takeout meal from the fun restaurant in the building. I suggest taking up the ability to pay in advance to park under the garage -- street parking spots looked very sparse when we arrived.
