Experience Life at The Commonwealth by Stay Alfred
Originally constructed in 1902 as the Commonwealth Title & Trust Building, now on the national registry of historic buildings, this newly renovated treasure puts you in the middle of Philadelphia’s most desirable neighborhoods. Journey back in time as you enter The Commonwealth’s lobby with vintage Art Deco wall sconces, mailboxes, and chandelier. You may be tempted to linger downstairs admiring the architecture while sipping complimentary coffee, but an even more inviting apartment awaits you upstairs.

Large windows in every room and sleek European design elements define this home. Bathed in natural light, the open concept living room and kitchen are warm and inviting. There is more than enough room for your entire party to spread out and relax in front of the TV when you need a break from the city. Take advantage of the full kitchen to prepare meals and save money.

With two spacious bedrooms and a pull-out sofa, this condo accommodates up to 6 people. The master bedroom features a plush king bed, large closet, and adjoining bathroom. In this private oasis you’ll probably forget you aren’t at home. The second bedroom, on the opposite side of the apartment, has a heavenly queen bed and spacious closet. Privacy is never an issue in this condo.

Hardwood floors throughout are just the tip of the iceberg as far as upscale elements. Both bathrooms have been outfitted with premium Grohe fixtures. The kitchen boasts custom-crafted European cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel GE appliances. And let’s not forget the in-home Bosch washer and dryer.

While it might be hard to convince yourself to leave this amazing apartment, you can take solace in the fact that you don’t have to be gone long as it is close to everything! Located in the “Midtown Village” section of Philadelphia’s City Center, the trendiest restaurants, shops, and attractions are at your doorstep. The famous Reading Terminal Market is blocks away, offering the finest locally grown produce and fresh meats, seafood and poultry; if you don’t have time to cook, grab a sandwich from DiNic’s or Salumeria.

Less than a mile away from The Commonwealth are a plethora of historical sites such as the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and the Betsy Ross House. But history isn’t the only thing this location has to offer. Philadelphia’s art and cultural epicenter—the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and Philadelphia Museum of Art—is within two miles of your home base. Don’t forget to pose for a picture on the museum’s famous Rocky Steps. To really treat yourself after a long day of sight-seeing, head down the block to try one of Capital Grille’s famous dry-aged steaks. Then stop for a nightcap of house-aged spirits at Bank & Bourbon on your way home. |

Let Stay Alfred host your next trip to Philly. Stay smart. Stay Together. Stay Alfred! |

Great location, nicely appointed.
Posted on: 6/19/2015
Stayed at The Commonwealth during the first week of May. The property was very secure, included parking, and was nicely decorated. It was so close to everything that we wanted to do. Arrival and check in was easy and convenient-likewise checkout. Quiet building and friendly doorman. Would highly recommend this property.

Fantastic Condo & Location
Posted on: 7/16/2015
The location is wonderful, you can walk to so many restaurants and easily get anywhere. This place was perfect for two couples traveling together: we each had our own bathroom and shared a wonderful kitchen and living room with lovely furnishings. The parking space that comes with the place is GREAT, it really made things easy. The place had plenty of clean linens and everything we needed. Would definitely recommend it and would stay again!

Lovely clean apartment, excellent Philly location.
Posted on: 8/7/2015
This was our second stay in a Stay Alfred Apartment, and was of the same high quality as the first in Nashville. The apartment was super clean, 3 tvs, washer/ driver, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, good quality linens. Good location, only worry was the checkin, which was a little complicated, so our tip was to be super organised when you pull up and park out the front in the twenty minute zone. Would happily stay in a Stay Alfred apartment again.

Great location, vibe, and a nice home away from home
Posted on: 8/13/2015
This two bedroom, two bathroom apartment was bigger than our house back home. We had a nice view from the 15th floor and loved that we were staying in a place with locals from Philly. While we weren’t in the heart of the most touristy area, we were a 10-15 minute walk or a 5 minute Phlash Shuttle ride away from the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. (We were walking with our 4 year old.) The Reading Market Terminal, which is like a giant, enclosed Farmer’s Market, was a block away and super convenient to grab a quick, yummy bite. You have tons of restaurants and bars in the surrounding area as well a 7-11 downstairs. The doorman was exceptionally helpful and friendly, which made us feel as home right away. The Phlash Shuttle stop is in front of the Reading Terminal and was a super easy and convenient way to get around the city. The actual apartment/condo was immaculate and comfortable. Great beds, showers, AC, and nice fixtures and decor. Having a parking pass made life easier. We never took the car out once we were there because traffic in Philly can get pretty bad, like any big city. Do read all the instructions you get from the Stay Alfred app. They were very helpful and explicit.

Clean and convenient
Posted on: 8/29/2015
This was an easy to find location with a helpful doorman. It was close to historic sites and restaurants and small grocery. It was close to public transportation. The window sill had to be used for sitting at the table as there were only three chairs. It is a typical city location with traffic noise late at night and starting again about 5 am. I would stay there again due to its location to historic sites.

In the middle of everything
Posted on: 8/29/2015
Great center city location, so expect lots of city noises,even late at night. But within walking distance of all major attractions, fab restaurants, etc. Unit was 2 bedroom 2 bath,plus queen sleeper in living room. Sleeper very comfy. Great to have 2nd bath with six people. Second bedroom was uncomfortably hot with AC cold in other rooms. Left door open at night, and that made it tolerable. While there were enough dishes for 6, oddly there was only one dining chair for the kitchen table! All night convenience store on ground floor right next to building entrance attracted lots of panhandlers, so wasn’t a great late night alternative for last minute items. Building was secure, though, and retired key fob to enter. Several grocery stores with a few blocks, though. Parking garage entrance under construction, so a little hard to get into, but parking was convenient to the unit. We paid $25 for parking for a total of 4 nights. Very reasonable. Major turnoff was that there was a dirty dishrag in the bathroom sink when we got there. Property not really suited for 6, better for 4. Also wouldn’t recommend for children due to location.
