Jeff is a wonderful host and south Philly has so much vibe! This is a room at the inhabitant's home in the real meaning: not an apartment administered by a company that you book through an app and access without never meeting the owner, but a room at someone's place, sharing the house with him and getting all the tips on the city. We love it! The best place to discover the inhabitants' city and not the tourists' one.

    Apple Hostels has a very good understanding of how to run a good hostel - a large open area where people can work, make food, and connect (pool table etc). We were there over the 4th of July, and enjoyed a free barbeque with burgers, hotdogs and beer. This was a very nice touch! The bathrooms are exceptionally clean; and all the facilities were in good condition. We stayed in a private room, which was very spacious. Location is great.

    Great hostel in the very center of Philly - but in a quiet back street, so it wasn't noisy. Rooms were nice, comfy beds, each had sockets, a lamp and a shelf, a locker and some hooks. Kitchen was nice too, enough dishes and always clean. It was very social place, people were very friendly, especially on beer nights it was really easy to meet new people. Bonus points for the pool table, free to play. Staff was nice and helpful.

    Don’t be put off by the location. Yes the neighbourhood is down market and its a little dirty but the apartment is first class. There is a corner shop 2 minutes away and we found the locals very friendly. Heaps of room for a couple with full kitchen. Easy access on checkin with excellent communication. Very clean and a very comfortable Bed. The number 47 bus stops outside the apartment and it only costs $2.50 and its 10 minutes to get to Market St in the centre of Philadelphia.
