Great quiet place. Great property manager. Hot water heater went out during the stay, he got a plumber in and changed the water heater out. Things happen can't predict when something breaks. Thanks Doyle & Sherry The Spice Man
Property is exactly as advertised. I had some difficulty getting access but the property manager responded immediately and helped resolve the issue. We honestly only slept at the property and we’re gone all day, so this was really a place to sleep and have coffee. I had zero issues with the neighborhood and parking was very easy.
We came to spend time working on writing projects. We had a great couple days in Harrisburg, visiting coffee shops, book stores & restaurants. This was a nice place to come back too to do a lot of quiet work. Thanks!
I stayed here while I was waiting for my house to finish closing. I have nothing but positive things to say about my stay. Ann was OUTSTANDING, and responded to all my messages immediately. Her and her staff did an amazing job. Also, this place is .5 miles from the Beltway which has a beautiful run through the woods. I would definetly stay here again if I needed a furnished place to stay for a while.
It was clean and comfortable and convenient to all we wanted to see! Owner is very easy to work with!
Nothing fancy but did the job...
This property was super clean; comfortable and as described. We marked down one star for the neighborhood, not because WE didn't find it just fine, but because it is as described, a transitional neighborhood. We are a late middle-aged couple and arrived after dark and on a rainy night, so we were nervous about the steep wooden staircase and narrow deck at the entrance, but it was sturdy and we just took our time and were careful about using the handrail. I was also worried that the houses are so dense and are all duplexes (we are from the wide open west), but the unit was very private and homey feeling. Even with the curtains open I didn't feel exposed. We could hear the neighborhood sounds; kids playing basketball, families sitting on their porches talking, etc. It was pleasant and not disruptive at all. Our son enjoyed the privacy of the third floor loft room - all to himself.
Only slept there after hours and right back up and out early in the mornings. But I was really impressed by the overall floor plan of the property and Wow, the bed was great for some good rest. Bed so comfortable that I never made it under the blankets!
From start to finish, this was a delightful process and place to stay during a recent visit to Harrisburg, PA. Q was really easy to work with, prompt with messages and, once I was there, a phone call of greeting and TXTs as needed. The place was exactly as promised and as depicted in photos... nicely furnished and comfortable. Parking on the street or in the parking lot across the street was plenty and easy. This location was perfect for my needs, close to everywhere I wanted to visit. When back in Harrisburg, I'll hope to book this again!
Enjoyed our stay while visiting the Hershey area. This is an older home, but found it to be VERY clean. Furniture could use a little updating, but for the short time we were there, it was fine. Kitchen was stocked with coffee and tea, which was a nice surprise :) Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home.
