    July 31, 2015
    This is the first time I'm living by myself. 1 Bedroom, in unit washer and dryer, high speed internet and washing machine. This apartment has beautiful hard wood floors and a view of the ben franklin bridge that is hard to beat. The neighborhood is the best! From resturants, to being right next to the subway, to Franklin Fountain (bad for the waistline), to all the events at Penns Landing, the location is the main selling point.
