Perfect home base for visits to Penn State- adorable town with plenty of breakfast/coffee options. The apartment is filled with fun 70s and 80s nostalgia, and a Ms Pac-Man and pachinko game! Beds are SO comfy, LR is roomy and cozy for hanging out and watching a movie or playing games or chatting. Everything you need and more!!

What a fun stay! A blast from the past for those of us who love the vintage games and relics of yesteryear (books, board games, Nintendo and even a Ms Pacman arcade) but also a spacious and comfortable stay. Everything was well-appointed, and the retro touches were all so fun.The place is within close walking distance of restaurants and lovely Talleyrand Park. Communication with the host/property manager was lightening fast. We can't wait to return!

We loved staying here. This is a great location and great. space. The set-up is well thought out and they have tons of games and vintage items throughout, including a Nintendo (not the OG, a modern version with tons of games included). Our 5 year old discovered Kirby for the first time and it was a legit trip down memory lane. That was just great. The property manager was VERY easy to reach (at one point we were just being slow and couldn't figure out the key pad and she talked us through it so we could get in). The space was super clean and we liked having two separate bedrooms and a separate living room area (which is really well set up, by the way). The kitchen is well stocked and has very good coffee and tea options. We brought our small dog with us and it was easy to have her there. There was also a park nearby with a playground and a dog walking area (like right around the corner). Food options there are great and all within a block of the building, including a great burger joint, a waffle place, and a pub. Also if you forget any items there's a CVS right next to the park that's VERY well stocked and a Giant within a few minutes driving. We would definitely stay here again.
