10/10 Exceptional

Very nice small hotel conveniently located near the subway and UPenn campus. Quiet and comfortable stay. Excellent value. No elevator.

9/10 Excellent

Buen apartamento en la ciudad Likes: La ubicación es perfecta para pasar unos días en la ciudad. Hay una parada de metro al lado y de autobuses. También tienes supermercados y restaurantes de comida fácil. La habitación estaba limpia y es muy amplia. La cocina también contaba con todo lo necesario. Dislikes: No hay ascensor… y en los pasillos el aire acondicionado estaba a tope; hacía frío. Pero por lo demás todo me gustó.

10/10 Exceptional

This is a fantastic location near U Penn. There is a ton nearby that’s walkable and mass transit options galore. The units are very well appointed. Definitely check in before you get there with the app. It simplifies things greatly.

10/10 Exceptional

Clean room, streamline check in. Everything was easy. No on site support, but we didn't need it for a short stay. Easy enough!

10/10 Exceptional

Just perfect location; no matter you’re visiting Penn or just want a convenient location in the university city.And the room was HUGE, and well-maintained. Just a perfect spot.

Getting around

Getting around University City from our Kasa is easy and convenient. Whether you prefer walking through the neighborhood's charming streets, biking along the 30 miles of dedicated bike lanes, or using public transportation, you’re covered. The area is well-served by Philadelphia’s SEPTA system, offering buses, trolleys, and subways that make exploring the city simple. The LUCY shuttle, which runs every 5 to 30 minutes on weekdays, is especially handy, with free rides for UPenn students and employees. For those flying in, SEPTA’s Airport Line connects directly to University City from Philadelphia International Airport, just 7 miles away. The Amtrak Station is also close by, only 1.2 miles from our Kasa. And if you prefer driving or rideshare services, those options are easily accessible too. No matter your mode of travel, University City is at your doorstep, ready to be explored.
