You’ve got the city at your feet at this bright, central apartment just a stone’s throw from Logan Square in Philadelphia’s Museum District. We love the cool modern touch that’s been given to this home’s decor, from the bold blue feature wall to the mid-century modern inspired furnishings and statement works of art on the walls. We love the living room’s balcony – the ideal spot for your morning cup of coffee or a celebratory sundowner – while the window-side table invites hearty pancake breakfasts ahead of a day of sightseeing and intimate meals as the city’s lights twinkle outside. The beautiful bedroom also boasts a private balcony, meaning you can take in Philly views from the moment you wake up. With a communal fitness centre, lounge and terrace to visit too, you’ve got everything you need to feel right at home. Outside of your chic apartment, The Franklin Institute and Philadelphia City Hall are both a six-minute walk away, while the Philadelphia Museum of Art is a twenty-four-minute stroll from your door.
