My husband needed surgery at Fox Chase Cancer center. We were so thrilled to find this perfect VRBO minutes from the hospital since we are about 2 1/2 hours away. We have 1 cat who has to travel with us & even our kitty loved this lovely apartment. Our daughter drove from Va. and stayed with me. Met the hosts on the first morning. They are so nice, helpful & responded to any of our questions quickly. I have dietary restrictions so the fully equipped kitchen was great. The apartment was surprisingly quiet for being on a busy street. The bedroom windows are shielded by lots of trees so I didn’t even need to pull the blinds during the day. Do be aware that this is on the 2nd floor and accessed by stairs. This wasn’t an issue for us. I highly recommend this VRBO for anyone looking to be in this location. It’s close to both Temple & Fox Chase hospitals.
