Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Everything went well. The view at night was beyond belief. It is close to our home. SEPTA is Free for people aged 65 and above. The small kitchen allowed us to save a lot of money. We cooked our own food, allowing us to eat an expensive meal at a restaurant only twice during our stay at AKA.
Negative: The weather was lousy, which wasn't AKA's fault.
Summary: We plan to return to AKA sometime in 2025, during the warmer months of this year. We liked it.
