Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The space is very nice, modern and clean. It is a walk up, so if you have luggage you need to be prepared to go up steep stairs as there is no elevator. They were very responsive to my questions and concerns. It is conveniently located to the University of Pennsylvania. It is in a generally safe area, but it is not an area you want to venture too far by yourself at night.

The place is nice and clean. However, the stairway is very narrow, making it hard to move my luggage up and down the stairs.

A literal party wall

Industrial chic recently renovated. A bar with music into the wee hours is adjacent to the bedroom. If you like eavesdropping on bar patrons and dancing to your favorite reggae beats, the bedroom is a prime spot.

Disliked: Amenities
The room was very nice and clean, however the lock on the door was loose but still functioned and the only amenity was a fridge which was good for storing snacks and a coffee maker that did not work. Other than those two things I found the place very chic clean and safe and the local area very nice. I would definitely book again.

Do not stay here if you want to sleep.

Misery from start to finish. Bar downstairs blasts music non-stop - Niche pretends to care but does nothing that makes a difference. YOU CANNOT "SLEEP" HERE - which is all we wanted the place for... We reserved at the last minute as we were driving several hours to Philadelphia. Unfortunately after we reserved thru hotels.com (and pre-paid for both nights), we were sent emails that we did not see while driving for 5 hours. We arrived expecting to have information about how to enter the property, instead we had an email demanding that we immediately send a deposit worth more than the hotel rooms - and which was NEVER mentioned on hotels.com. (Bad on them too). Niche also wanted photos of my ID & credit card - even though I had already paid for the room and was not about to send that info over the internet. It took 45 minutes of phone calls to deal with their requirements while we were exhausted and dying to use the bathroom. Finally got in .... Room is ok, basic, one cup in the entire room. Cheap amenities... We were immediately assaulted by insanely loud music ... unfortunately music was louder when we came back to go to bed. Both nights we were kept up by loud music - niche offered a different room, but we had already settled in and I don't think it would make a difference - the music was overwhelming. The problem is cheap windows and a bar downstairs that doesn't care. (I did ask that they turn the outside speakers down).

Depends what you’re looking for

Loved the apartment. Hated the onerous pre-checkin process and requirements. Not worth a short stay. Also note there’s no elevator and the stairs are steep, so not for everyone.
