To say this place has kerb appeal is an understatement. A smart apartment in a recently converted office building, it dates from the late 1890s and features one of the most impressive facades in the city centre. Originally built for the Presbyterian Board of Publications, its sculptures and ornate decoration describe the story of this denomination. Step inside and you'll find the lobby is warm and welcoming, with high ceilings, a seating area and a fireplace. But it's been thoroughly modernised – with an emphasis on the modern. The apartment is so new it practically sparkles. Minimal and neat, its white walls and wood floors make for a calm feeling and its open layout makes it a sociable space for up to four guests. Just down the street from the unmistakable Philadelphia City Hall, you'll be right in the heart of things and just a short walk from most of the area's major attractions.
