What I Can Share with Hosts

In addition to the main tourist sites of Philadephia, I know where all the great restaurants, pubs, and bars are located. I am also quite aware of city ongoings, such as current art exhibits and street festivals. My apartment is centrally located to many great Philly neighborhoods, including Old City, Chinatown, South St., Penn's Landing, and the Gayborhood.
