Yangtze Trading & Travel is one of those basement stores on Arch Street in Chinatown that offers a…read morevariety of services to the local community. It is involved in selling airline tickets, packaged tours, assisting with securing a visa for China travel, as well as watch repair and traditional Chinese apothecary. We stopped in with friends from Asia who wanted to buy travel and touring in Miami, Florida (Can't blame them!). The elderly gentleman who greeted us moved with deliberate care, but was friendly and attempted to assist. From observation, this shop is not licensed as a travel agency, but acts to consolidate travelers for an offsite provider of direct services. All he had were brochures; not even a computer for bookings. The opposite wall had medicinal herbs for sale. There was another corner for watch repair. We didn't do business here, as it was obvious the owner had an indirect relationship with travel, and knew little about the business. Still, we accepted what information he had, thanked him, and continued on our way. In fact, there are several such "travel service" offices around the neighborhood, and most of them seem to be only looking for a commission for passing the customer down the line to the actual agency. No need to deal with any of them if you are internet savvy. All is available to those who know how to seek. An interesting cultural experience to watch, but not one to buy into.

This process can be very time consuming but Karen has been wonderful. When the cost might have been reduced she calls me to make me aware of what changes can be made to make my trip even better.

I highly recommend All-Ways Travel.

I stopped by 1900 Arch to check out an apartment for a friend and possibly for myself. I…read moreremembered the construction phase, so I was curious about the units, price points and amenities. When I walked in the door, a very friendly security agent walked me to the leasing office. There I met and spoke with Elizabeth. (That's what the card read. Since she never introduced herself, I'm making an assumption.) Cordial still, she asked me to complete a visitors card, so I did. She handed me a brochure and took me to see a unit. As we were walking out of the leasing office, I quickly realized that, as I was following Elizabeth, I was being followed by a man. We walked through the lounge area and then stopped at the gym, where Elizabeth told me a little bit more about the gym space. And there was that man right behind me. Then we walked down the hall and into an elevator. All three of us. I looked at said man, who enthusiastically says, "Hi! I'm Chris." And he extends his hand. As I'm shaking his hand, I explain to the both of them that I feel like I'm being followed like I'm in a store. Chris responded: "We tour in pairs." It was incredibly uncomfortable. I've toured many apartments in my life and I've never been greeted with the "front and follow" surveilliance tactic used by law enforcement. I honestly felt like I was being led to a jail cell or the guillotine. The goal was to either: 1) make me feel so uncomfortable that I'd never move in or 2) protect themselves from me because I looked menacing. I'm tall, thin and used to model, so that's how I carry myself...always. I wore an Armani winter coat, Burberry winter scarf, Tiffany & Co. pearl earrings, and mink fur gloves. I simply don't have a menacing presence. So I can only assume that their goal was the former. By the way, the units are average. I don't recommend moving here.

I had no idea that building was being used as an extended stay! I guess anything goes with PMC!…read more This review is for 1900 Arch Street Apartments. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT rent from PMC Management Company. This goes especially to Penn Law and Wharton grad students. I'm a Penn Law grad and attorney living in Philly. I recently got transferred to my firm's NYC office. I was more than willing to pay the lease break fee for my apartment but then the management company told me that I would still have to pay rent for the remainder of my lease if they are unable to find tenant. What is the point of a lease break fee? I told PMC that I would just sublease the apartment for the remainder of lease and they informed me that this was prohibited. I pointed out that the lease does not prohibit subleasing and the tenant only needs written approval from the landlord. PMC's response: All subletting requests will be denied! Soo basically you want me to pay a lease break fee and the rent for remainder of lease? What is their incentive to re-rent my apartment if they are guaranteed rent for the remainder of lease-- especially when they have many other empty units? Absurd! Then they threatened to charge me double rent if I didnt move out by my early move-out date. Are you kidding me? Of course that would never hold up in a court of law. This is the treatment I get for keeping my unit in immaculate condition and paying rent on time for the last eight months. Bottom line, this property group/building is not for business professionals who might need to transfer cities or graduate students who will have summer internship in other cities and need to sublet. I will be sure to post this in Penn's off-campus housing reviews and alert HR at my firm. There are so many new apartment buildings in Philly. Based on the reputation this property management company has created for itself during my short time in Philly, I recommend that you save yourself from the drama and headaches and rent somewhere else!

Beautiful to have but the sun will make the apartment very warm even when the air is cranked high. Also the dyer takes a very long time to dry, it steams your clothes instead. The beds are horrible, you will sink in the middle and not comfy. Not your average "hotel" stay. It has all the convenience of home like a full kitchen with pots, pans, utensils and even spices, cable, wifi and fully furnished. Will the manager was very helpful with checking in and making sure everything was fine. There's also a fitness room and a outdoor space for entertaining. Its in a great location with amazing restaurants and bars. Pet friendly place but no space for your fur babies to handle their business. I would stay there again.
