"Before you moved to the suburbs, had two kids, and rescued a golden doodle, you might have dreamed of living in a sleek bachelor pad that looked something like AKA’s guest rooms. The reflective, all-glass builiding towers above the surrounding West Philly skyline, offering the city’s highest residential views (the apartment-style hotel offers both short- and long-term stays, plus 17 floors of annual-lease residences). While strong neighborhood vibes aren’t the main draw, convenience is: Hop over the Walnut Street bridge and you’re minutes from Rittenhouse Square; head just a few blocks West and you’re weaving among UPenn and Drexel co-eds; drive a half-mile down Schuylkill Ave. and you’re boarding a train at 30th Street Station." - Regan Stephens, Katie James Watkinson
