Complete your Philly experience at The Edison. This modern building perfectly contrasts the Old City neighborhood — known as the country's most historic square mile. Each space features a Roku for streaming, in-suite laundry, and a fully equipped kitchen. Sip a cup of java on the rooftop with breathtaking panoramic views. Or step outside for farm-to-table pasta and sandwiches at High Street on Market. You can also learn about America's birthplace at Independence Hall, just a quick bus ride away. This property is located next to the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, which produces noise during peak traffic hours. All spaces have a sleep well kit.

This place was amazing as a base to exploring Philadelphia. Rooms were perfect for sleeping, and our kids loved the black out window shades. Public transport is within walking distance, as are many of the cities top sites.

I can't express enough that the Sonder at the Edison is a true gem in Philly. Perfect location, walking distance from Penn's landing, and even able to find free parking. Unit was immaculate, and we loved the access to the roof deck. Will absolutely be staying here next time we visit.

Very clean. Very nice neighborhood. Parking was annoying, and the mobile key to get the building did not work, but it worked every time with our room door . We really enjoyed our stay. It was cut short due to an medical emergency involving our daughter back home. Sonder rep was so kind and understanding of our stressful situation, and helped us the checking out smoothly. We thank you so much for your amazing customer service and your willingness to accommodate us. We will always use Sonder for our stays. We love you.

Overall, this was a great place to stay in Philadelphia. Perfect location close to bars/restaurants. Clean and matches the pictures. The walls are a bit thin, but it wasn’t an issue. I was very happy with our Sonder stay! The roof is also very cool.

The place is perfect, everything you need is available in the unit. The location is very safe and connected to the main tourist destination in Philadelphia. Everything is walkable and public transport are available in your door step when needed.

What I can say : it's perfect. The overall quality of the flat is outstanding: furniture is new, there's all you need to cock (if you want it). Location is excellent, walking distance to Independence Mall and the historic building, to the Market street and the restaurants. 5 min walk to the Elfreth's Alley. It's worth to mention is near the Freeway, but you only notice this early morning. I would come back for sure, and looking for other Sonder places in the US (even it's a quite expensive).

My stay at Sonder's The Edison in Philadelphia was very nice. The area felt safe for us 3 ladies. We were able to find parking within a block or two of the building each night and it wasn't a long walk. Read the signs carefully before you park as many only allow 2-3 hr parking. Parking on the street overnight was fine. The location is perfect, if you are want to visit different areas. Inside of our accommodation was just as pictured. The place felt like a small condo, the bedrooms are well spaced from each other. The kitchen is efficient with all the essentials. The bathrooms were like hotel quality but better. Gold hardware and a glass shower door, and a deep soaking tub. The ceilings are high but the walls are thin. Interestingly, on Friday night, the traffic on the nearby highway was quiet, but Saturday night it was noisy. We slept just fine though. Overall it was a clean place, I would just suggest a little more attention to cleaning in the bathroom because things can get caught between the wall and the sink area. That's just a small thing though. Communication was great. I would definitely book with Sonder again.

The best Airbnb I’ve stayed at! Easy check in and the host was was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions I had. The aesthetic was very nice and it came with a fully stocked kitchen and extra linens and towels/wash cloths. Perfect location with restaurants, bars and museums in walking distance. Reading Terminal Market is only a 15min walk and full of fresh fruit, vegetables, deli and herbs. The food is so good and you can easily spend half a day shopping and eating in there. I’m already planning my next trip to Philly so I can re-book this Airbnb

The location, cleanliness and convenience was terrific. The unit was modern and had all the amenities we could need. I was so happy to find a white noise machine in the closet to drown out the highway noise but it certainly did the trick. Slept like a baby. Also, the sheets were a bit stiff but it may have been because they appeared new. I would recommend getting a parking pass for District 10 so that you can park outside the building. It was only $15.00 for 15 days. You'll find that at the residential permit parking at 35 N 8th St. All in all, really comfortable and will definitely stay at any Sondor again.

I enjoyed the accommodations. Very clean and spacious. This is my 3rd Sonder location I’ve stayed at. My only issue was operating the key pads. They were a tad bit finicky but I figured it out after a couple of tries. I will definitely return and have always referred Sonder to Family & Friends.
