Nica’s place was perfect for my family and I. The location was wonderful and within driving distance to restaurants and shopping. Very easy to head to downtown Philadelphia via multiple routes. Our son had surgery at CHOP KOP and this was the perfect place to rest and recover with our whole family. Will definitely come back for future surgeries and appointments.
