About the host
Hosted by Daniel
Stuart and I have lived in Harrisburg for 15+ years, and we love this small, lively city so much! Stuart is the Producing Artistic Director at Open Stage, downtown, and I'm a User Interface designer.
Throughout my house, you'll notice some helpful tips, thoughtful touches, and amenities that will hopefully help you enjoy your stay in Harrisburg. If there's something I can do to help you enjoy your stay, I will try to do it!
I am very detail-oriented and it definitely shows throughout my house. I want to make sure my guests are comfortable and feel at home during their stay.
When I'm not making my house perfect for guests, I like to explore all there is to do in Harrisburg. I have lived in Harrisburg since 2010, and before that I grew up in Rochester, NY. Downstairs I have art and maps of Rochester and Harrisburg, it's a mix of the places I love.
