The home has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. It is three stories, with the third floor designated as a private primary suite boasting capital and river views! As parking can be very difficult in the city, we pay for one parking space, as a courtesy to guests, in Midtown's only secure garage, which is a short five minute walk from the home. We may also pull ONE permit, per rental, for a guest to park along the street for $20. Guests must provide their vehicle information and payment at least three business days in advance of their stay to allow sufficient time to pull the permit from the city.

The first floor offers a completely renovated kitchen, complete with brand-new Kenmore appliances and gas range. As well as an enjoyable area to relax and socialize with your fellow guests. There is a 55 in. LED 4k TV with cable and Roku in the living room.

The second floor offers two bedrooms; one with a queen mattress and the other a full. The larger of the two bedrooms also offers a desk for a work space. Both rooms have their own flat screen TVs with Roku to stream Netflix, Hulu, and Disney +! The second floor bathroom offers a rain shower and houses the brand new washer and dryer for convenience. There is also a small deck to enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine while overlooking Midtown.

The third floor is the primary suite with a queen mattress and an on-suite bathroom with an antique claw foot bathtub. This room also has a flat screen TV with Roku as well as lots of charm! Guests may also enjoy a separate seating area with vanity to get ready in the morning.

Pack and Play and highchair available upon request.

Great American Outdoor Show
It was a great experience. There were issues with the fridge early on and our hosts jumped right on it bringing in a mini fridge and buying a new small freezer. It was a weekend and repair men were not available but they made sure all our food didn’t spoil. They called multiple times just to make sure we were doing ok. Have never received such quality service like they gave!

Great Midtown location
My husband, son and I had a great stay! The property is very clean and well appointed. The location in Midtown Harrisburg is perfect. Broad Street Market is close by and if you are adventurous, you can walk to Lil Amps for great coffee. Raising the Bar bakery is a delicious stop too. The hosts were always accessible via message in the app and responded quickly. Before our trip, we thought we needed to make a change and they were willing to work with us. We would stay here again for sure!
