Rittenhouse Square (Studio, 1 bath)—If you want to live in the heart of the city, you can always count on finding a studio at Embassy Suites for a smaller price point. At 350 square feet, this is by far the tiniest rental on this week’s list. But there’s a fitness center in the building and pets are welcome for an additional $25 a month, tacked onto the $1,285 monthly rent.
