Great of Wharton MBAs
There are a lot of Wharton MBAs here. Studio is large and works well for one person. Location and doormen were great and very convenient. Some of the bathrooms and kitchens are outdated, so state of update and prices will vary.

Great building
Great location for school - 25 minute walk, or 10 minute bus ride (bus stop is right across the street). Building maintenance is responsive. Doormen are friendly. The package collection system is a bit of a pain (two doormen need to be around for one of them to man the desk, the other to collect your package).
I have direct contact with my landlord, so repairs are easily signed off - I hear that is not the case with Allan Domb so check.
Apartment itself is a studio, and is spacious. There is a washing machine and dryer on every floor ($2 per use per machine). The building is old, so there is a fair amount of dust.
All in all - great for the price, very sociable, and lots of Wharton students live here.

Well-located in center city and 20-minute walk to Wharton
Apartments differ a lot in this building. I suggest you visit them before signing the rent. Most of them are managed by Alan Domb Real Estate. They ask for the equivalent rent of 4 months in advance, not ideal. However, we had two complaints regarding curtains and sink maintenance and they accepted to execute the repairments without any extra cost, so I'm satisfied so far.

Great location
Perfect for campus, 2401 and Center City. Feels safe because it's off a main road which is well lit.

Perfect location for Wharton students. The apartments are large and have lots of light, and the building staff is great.

Safe choice with a lot of Wharton students, but could get more value for money elsewhere
Wanamaker has been a great place to stay, with access to a gym for no additional cost. The unit I stay in has old appliances which need some repair, but management have been quite responsive. Doormen are present 24x7 and are quite helpful. Wanamaker rent is on the more expensive side though, so there may be other options that offer more value for money.

The location cannot get better
Right in front of the SEPTA bus stop, BofA ATM, Irish Pub and close to many grocery shops, laundromats and in the heart of Center City, the Wanamaker House is the perfect location for a Wharton MBA student.

Quiet, Spacious
Good comfortable and sunny space. There is a carpet which sub-optimal, otherwise the building is nice.

Location, location, location
The location is the single best feature about this building - 20-30min walk to campus yet minutes from Rittenhouse square. The apartments inside the building probably vary in quality given they are condos - mine is ok, I'm paying for the location more than anything else. Good amenities in close proximity of the building with SEPTA bus stop nearby, Rite Aid a few minutes walk and Trader Joes 10mins away. Overall, a great place to stay.

Rittenhouse Square Reviews
Spruce Street in particular is great - it's a little south of the square, so is quieter/shielded from a lot of the traffic that the neighborhood gets, but it's not out of the way or far away. There's a Starbucks, a grocery store (Rittenhouse Market), and a few corner stores (Four Seasons and Food & Friends) within a 2-3 minute walk of my apartment.
