About this apartment rental
Fishtown has been called Philadelphia's trendiest neighborhood. At my little studio, you can be in the heart of it and yet still be just one block from the elevated train which takes you to Center City in 10 minutes. Enjoy coffee at La Colombe, German beer at the Frankford Hall beer garden, spirits at Lloyd's, and live music at Johnny Brenda's. This is a comfortable 250 square foot completely private space with its own modern bathroom and soaring 25 foot ceilings.
The space
Our space is simple but comfortable. We have a queen sized bed, a table and chairs, a dresser, a small fridge, a microwave, and a full bath with shower. There is no TV.
Guest access
There is free 3 hour parking on our block of Front Street. For longer term free parking, try the side streets nearby - Thompson and Master (It’s hit or miss whether you find a space). There are paid parking lots at 1320 N Front and 1400 N Howard. If you’re desperate, try parking on American Street north of Cecil B Moore — there are always openings.
Other things to note
We are located next to an elevated train line. The train is loud. We’ve done our best to sound proof the space and we’ve provided earplugs. In addition, the train stops most nights between 12 and 5:15. Nevertheless, you should come prepared for some noise.

Location to shopping, restaurants, and the Filmore was great. Parking lot was steps away and easy to navigate. As all reviews say and listing explains, train is noisy but did not run for 5 hrs overnight. Enough to get enough rest before heading out. Place is perfect for a quick stay!

Description and photos set appropriate expectations. Yes, there is an elevated train outside the door. Did it bother us? No, we were expecting it and being close to a stop was an added plus for touring the city. The studio was clean, the host communicated quickly and clearly when the VRBO website didn't so that we had no delay in checking in, the toiletry amenities were unexpected and thoughtful, and the prepared notebook of options for restaurants and places to visit was appreciated.
Only thing we would have wished for was an electric teakettle, the coffeemaker wasn't really a good option if you just want hot water but we managed. Certainly not worth knocking down an otherwise 5 star review.

Location is great. As the listing says it is under an overhead railway line so can be very noisy
