Everything you need and super convenient!
I rented a studio here when I was an intern, and I was so happy with it that I moved to a 1 BR when my partner matched in Philly the following year. It has everything I wanted in a home - quiet (we have found some undergrads here, but our neighbors are mostly graduate students and medical professionals), clean (I lived in 2 other apartments in Philly and it's not uncommon to have the occasional pest, but we have only seen 2 roaches and 0 mice in 3 years - and both times we saw the roaches, the property manager had an exterminator in there the next day), and close to the hospital (it's about 10-15 min walk to CHOP/HUP; I think it's the closet apartment building to the hospital other than undergrad housing). It also has perks that have made my quality of life better - we have huge windows with a lot of natural light, a 24 hr gym in the building with a lot of equipment, easy access to the subway/train station, and plenty of street parking on nights/weekends for family/friends to easily visit. We have a ton of space with plenty of room for storage, and a roof deck that has been a life saver during the pandemic for social distanced plans (with the added benefit of a beautiful view of the city).

lots of amenities but expensive
really pretty place, upkept, lots of study space, gym, in unit washer/dryer, rooftop, package service. just expensive and a lot of hidden fees (have to pay for package service, rent increases, wifi and utilities not included). awesome to be able to put in service requests if having any issues with the apt. close to 30th street station and PSOM and rittenhouse. sense of community is lacking and walls can be thin depending on who your neighbor is

Solid Overall
Less than 10 minute walk to the law school. Rooms are large, with high ceilings. Plenty of storage. Gym isn't state of the art but will definitely get the job done

Solid experience so far. Best: solid gym and amenities and high ceilings, very nice, quick, and responsive maintenance team, nice large vindow
Worst: rent price was reasonable when we moved in and after rent increase is a bit steep, management can be unreliable at times, not many local restaurants nearby, lots of chains. Also be mindful one side of the building is next to the train and the train can be LOUD at times, but the trains are only SETPA so they go quickly

Good apartment
Good facilities and building, but consistent maintenance issues that take a while to fix. Slightly pricey.

Left Bank review
Great location, right near Penn's campus and fairly close to center city. Building and study rooms are great. The apartments are really nice, large, have high ceilings, with plenty of natural light.

Decent place, convenient location
This is a great option for those who want to be close to Penn/HUP but also have easy access to public transit (30th street station) and be a reasonable walk from Rittenhouse/center city. The apartments are decently sized, with wood floors, high ceilings, in-unit washer/dryers, walk-in closet. The building recently opened a rooftop deck with great views of the city and there is a gym that pretty nice. Downsides are that the common spaces (lounge, kitchen, theater room) are actually quite expensive to reserve and some of the elevators seem to be constantly out of service.

The Left Bank
Excellent location for getting to HUP, VA, and Presby. High ceilings, spacious floorplan, great amenities including a clean and well-equipped gym. Close to transportation. Good temperature control. Nice rooftop in the summer. Clean. Main complaint is that the elevators frequently break down - there are only 6 floors, but they should be better maintained for the relatively high rent cost. Overall, however, I am happy with my apartment and renewed my lease this year.

The Left Bank
I have lived here for the last 2 years and just renewed my lease for another year. It's in an ideal location - 5 minute walk to the nearest subway stop and 30th St Station and 10 min walk to work with a variety of stores and restaurants in the area. The apartments are incredibly spacious with great large windows and a ton of storage space. The building is clean, quiet, and secure. Management and maintenance are on site so are very responsive - all of my maintenance requests have been taken care of within 24 hrs.

Lately it has gotten a little noisy at night on my street, but otherwise I have few complaints about the neighborhood.
