Place to stay for our wedding

My husband and I stayed here for the night before and night of our wedding! The host left us a beautiful gift of wine and chocolates as well as some other snacks. It was perfect! We were able to walk to go out to bars with friends, coffee in the morning and walk along the river and to city island.

Everything you need!

This place had it all! The view, the comfortable bed, the central location downtown, the amenities, the big TV with all the streaming channels, and much more! No noises from neighbors or the street was an added bonus. Communication with the friendly host was quick and helpful. Definitely worth 5 stars!

Harrisburg/ Gettysburg trip

Apartment was very wonderful,nicely decorated, great location & nice view of river, beautiful sunsets. Had a issue with lock but host was quick to fix. 3rd floor apt stairs with no elevator was a little bit of a challenge for 70 yr olds. Street parking was challenging but it all worked out. Thanks for a lovely stay in Harrisburg PA.

Welcome to Harrisburg

First time multiple night visit to Harrisburg. Third floor cozy apartment in a beautiful building facing the Susquehanna. All of the needed creature comforts, three head shower, comfortable bed and sofa, good Wi-Fi. Good food and drink within walking distance. We were also there during Artfest which was fabulous and right outside the door. If you are a baseball fane the Harrisburg Senators field is also within walking distance. Our host was gracious and kind. The space shows how much they care about their guest having an enjoyable visit. Thank you for such a wonderful intro to Harrisburg. We will be back.

Cancelled Booking /Horrible Communication

After booking this property months in advance, we arrived on the first night of our stay to find the entire street the property was on , blocked off to all local traffic, and no available street parking anywhere in the vicinity. The property is not in the best neighborhood with a number of questionable characters loitering around. We are both elderly, and my partner has a disabling heart condition. We didn't feel comfortable trekking up the long street with heavy luggage, risking getting mugged to even try to locate the place. When I called to cancel the booking , the property manager told me all we had to do is move the heavy metal barricade, placed by the local police, to gain entry to the street. So in addition to the risk of getting mugged, we could risk getting ticketed for moving a barricade. Sorry, too much to ask of a couple of old fogeys from out of state. This property's lack of communication and customer service is subpar at best.

Karen sorry you chose not to check in the property.....We have staff to stay for guest until 4pm start time to 12 midnight.....On the main street at the River (Front Street)...They were having their annual respectable Art Fair...(This is the main Street that no one can ever park on)...The street that is on the side of the building South St...Will have a light plastic sign at the top...Everyone comes down that street to park...but you just annot leave out the other side.......When you texted at after 10pm.and said you could not find a parking space and also said you were tired from traveling and it was to dark to walk down the street......as a courtesy we had staff(maintenance) waiting for you holding a space for you that he was parked in...We texted you several times for you to come down the street and he was standing out their waiting for you....You did not text right back and about 30 mins passed...When we finally got back in touch with you...You said you went to a family members home in the area and was gonna stay their because it was already late and you were tired from traveling.....You never reached out anymore until the day after check out and stated can you have a refund...because you chose not to come. 1 star was very unfair because you have never been to the property and it is very safe......we tried to accommodate you and even had staff waited to old a space since it was right on the side of the building although it's on a public street....Our service is 5 star..
