Fall family trip

I was in Philly for a conference, so we thought it would be a good opportunity to make a family trip out of it. We took an uber from the airport and arrived in under half an hour with traffic. Great location for a family trip, we could easily walk to sites of interest throughout Old City and Center City, or take the subway to a nearby station if we were too tired. A well-equipped kitchen made it possible to have breakfast and or dinner at home. I will say, this was an urban trip, be prepared for an urban experience - the nearby highways can be heard from the rear bedroom, their are distinctly city smells in the area, and the walk from the subway station is gritty. But the family loved playing the games in the rec. room, and it was cool being just a short walk from locations like Edreth’s Alley. Any questions or issues we had during our stay got quick and friendly responses from the owners.
