The row house was very clean and had a bit of old world charm. It was very close to a lots of great eating places, historic landmarks and a beautiful tree lined walkway along the river was just a block away. The only thing that could be difficult at times was finding street parking near the rental.

The Harrisburg home was quite stunning & clearly loved and well-maintained. The location was nice in terms of walking to the river, market, and other midtown spots. What was challenging was the parking. We opted not to buy a pass for street parking and chose to use the owners' garage spot instead; I regret that choice, as the walk back and forth to the garage was longer than I realized and hard to do with my kids (9 and 7) at the end of long days at Hersheypark. Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable, and we generally enjoyed our stay. It would have been nice to have a larger soft space for our family to hang out, but the front room and dining room were enough. The provided K-cups, water bottles, and chips were a lovely touch. We initially had trouble with the keypad, but eventually got it.I would caution families with younger kids about choosing this property - since it is a historic house, you have to be clear w/ kids about house rules (if you're like me, you'll spend the whole time worried about your kids accidentally breaking all the glass/ceramic decor). For instance, there is a strict no shoes policy to protect the floors. My kids were great about that, but the vibe felt like we were staying in a museum & had to be cautious about what we touched/moved/used. It didn't feel like a home where we could fully relax after long days in the city & Hersheypark. This is NOT a criticism of the owners in any way, just an observation for others to consider when booking.

Nice Home close to it all
Clean house, comfy beds. Had everything we needed, small kitchen, laundry room, 2 nice remodeled bathrooms. Parking garage available but was bit of a hike away. We parked on the street within a 1 block radius of the house for our stay. Check in/check out was easy.

Great American Outdoor Show
It was a great experience. There were issues with the fridge early on and our hosts jumped right on it bringing in a mini fridge and buying a new small freezer. It was a weekend and repair men were not available but they made sure all our food didn’t spoil. They called multiple times just to make sure we were doing ok. Have never received such quality service like they gave!

Great Midtown location
My husband, son and I had a great stay! The property is very clean and well appointed. The location in Midtown Harrisburg is perfect. Broad Street Market is close by and if you are adventurous, you can walk to Lil Amps for great coffee. Raising the Bar bakery is a delicious stop too.
The hosts were always accessible via message in the app and responded quickly. Before our trip, we thought we needed to make a change and they were willing to work with us.
We would stay here again for sure!

This a well-appointed house in mid-town. Hosts were available when needed-would recommend this if stairs are not an issue.
