Need accommodation near Jefferson Hospital

Hello,

I am an Indian med student looking for the accommodation near Jefferson Hospital. I will be rotating there in the months of Oct and Nov. This is my first time in Philly. Kindly suggest any leads and safer neighbourhoods that I should look for?

Thank you

My coworker when going through his divorce swore by using long-term monthly set ups on AirBnB.

Stay near Center City. Stay tf out of South and North Philly. Don't go south of Washington Street and don't go north of Spring Garden St. since you're at Jeff, you'll be on the center city side not the University City side of Philly (University City is West of the Schuylkill River and is UPenn/Chop territory). Don't ever go west of 40th street for living as a newbie.

Expect to spend around 1.5k/month.

Thank you for the information. Is the area around the temple Uni safe? I am looking to book over there

@LawlzTaylor gave you very clear and specific advice that I generally agree with.
