Easy to get to, such a cute little apartment equipped with everything you need. Even cold filtered water in the fridge! A few minute walk from the riverfront trail. One evening I took a 10 minute walk to dinner and an ice cream shop after. Definitely recommend!
The apartment is decorated so cute. The beds are very comfy. The apartment is on the second floor in building filled with historic charm. The neighbors are friendly. The river is only a block away with a lovely path to walk on. I will book it again if I'm in the area.
Very cute n cozy apartment. Quiet building too. Had an issue with the AC unit and hosts promptly resolved the issue. Very responsive. Parking isn't fun but if you plan the day right, you'll park right out front. Tons of places to go and things to do in the area. Would stay again.
Pros: clean, updated shower, two AC units that were very cool, shower had great hot water and good pressure. Loved the decorations. Felt safe with both lock pads, was a great landing pad for what he had planned (Hershey park and a concert) really just slept and showered. THE BEDS AND PILLOWS WERE INSANELY COMFORTABLE! Owners were amazinglyReceptive Con’s: did not seem like a safe area, other tenants or renters were yelling and very loud one night, could have had a few more towels, and extra blankets. PARKING IS VERY DIFFICULT we had to uber one day to our car bc we couldn’t find parking on the street. Overall would stay if we had a concert or something but with a kid would rather a more family friendly area.
