Short walking distance to UPenn & Drexel, my place is conveniently located about 3.5 miles from the convention center, where Reading Terminal is also located. The Mann music center, Please Touch museum, Philadelphia Zoo, Fairmount park are all very short walks. Bus number forty or number 10 trolley will take you directly into 30th st station then into Center City.
Walk into the house, on the first floor is the living & dining area which opens into the kitchen that leads to the backyard. You're welcome to use living space with one simple rule in mind, leave it how you found it and clean up after. The 2nd floor is my space, which has a lounge area which you're more than welcome to hang out in.
Your space - third floor has 3 bedrooms listed as Libra, Scorpio & Venus with one bathroom. Each room can be reserved individually. There is appleTV, fridge, microwave, some accessories and complementary bottles of water. Clean essentials in all the rooms. The space has excellent wireless internet speed super comfy beds to rest in, a computer desk to study and plenty of storage. The backyard has a table, chairs, small charcoal grill for grilling.

I'm most satisfied with my stay. It was comortable, peaceful, and Obinna is a kind and respectful host. The accommodations were as described, and are all that anyone might need for the stay. The only caveat - and this has nothing to do with Obinna - is that GPS may lead you to the wrong address. In my case it led to Wiota St. This is more of an alley than a street. This isn't where you want to be. But that's not the host's fault!
I enjoyed my stay, and hope I've made a new friend.December 2020
Obinna is one of the kindest people I have ever met. My boyfriend and I stayed with him for a few months during our trip to Philly and we couldn’t have picked a better spot. 100% recommend the Palace if you want a true Philadelphia experience ❤️❤️

Obinna was a great host. His place was clean and the neighborhood was safe, public transportation was near by too. Obinna was very helpful and great conversation.
