If you want to save money while enjoying Center City life, you cannot do better than Robin Apartments. My comfortable studio is clean, freshly painted, has three large sunny windows, built-in bookshelves, ceiling fan, and new appliances. The owner has an office in my building and is on-site weekdays until 6:00PM. The numerous maintenance crewmen are very friendly and responsive; I've never waited more than a couple hours for (rare) repairs. Best part: I walk out the front door and enjoy Rittenhouse Sq. Park, restaurants, bookstores, University of PA, and all the pleasures of the best neighborhood (IMO) in Philadelphia. BTW - the rent is unbeatable.
Pros: Modern apartments in the heart of Center City
Cons: Walk-ups, no elevators, no central air conditioning
