With exceptional neighbourhood restaurants and vibrant LGBTQ+ nightlife right on your doorstep, and many of Philadelphia's headline attractions a short distance away, this accessible Midtown Village studio is set within a historic red-brick building that certainly stands out from the crowd. Inside, its soaring ceilings and hardwood floors provide a pleasing contrast to the eye-catching modern art adorning the walls, while there are small nods to the building's industrial past dotted around. It's small, and there isn't a kitchen, but it's a fantastic base for exploring nonetheless. Spend your days discovering the neighbourhood and unwinding in Rittenhouse Square. For Rocky fans, no trip to the city would be complete without making the pilgrimage to the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps for a chance to recreate that iconic shot from the movie. Afterwards, return home for a chance to freshen up before painting the town pink on a night out in the Gayborhood.
