Pros: -Convenient location -Kitchenette in-room with utensils, kitchenware, and appliances like small fridge, toaster, teapot, plate/bowls, glasses/mugs, and microwave -Nice, helpful staff -Quiet, despite being in a busy area Cons: -No parking (no garage nor validation), so parking at a nearby garage adds an extra $50 per day -No breakfast offered, which is another added expense -Shower has low water pressure and lukewarm temperature at best -Room is tiny -Too expensive

Comfortable, clean, relatively quiet, lots of space, good kitchen but needs a cutting board. Neighborhood suffers from typical urban ills but very convenient for us visiting relatives in Philadelphia. Staff super welcoming and accommadating. Well run place, would stay there again.

I have stayed at the AKA Rittenhouse many times. It is probably the best location in Philadelphia-- overlooking Rittenhouse Square and right next to the best restaurants and shops in town. The apartments are spacious and comfortable. Like so much of Philadelphia, the building is old but beautiful.
