Comfy place, great location, fantastic host

Spacious, comfortable, well-appointed town home with generous extras (lots of fluffy towels and even pizzas in the freezer). Great location close to Broad St Market, Capitol, State Museum and Riverpark. Fantastic host, super-responsive.

Welcoming, spacious, great location.

I have 3 married children and 1 about to get married. To welcome the newest "wife" to this crazy family, we chose Harrisburg as a central location for the women of the family to get together for some bonding. We came from multiple directions and just gathered in the house the first night. We cooked dinner and all sat in the living room talking all evening. The location is fantastic - right in the heart of a walkable downtown with a selection of restaurants and shops. It was a few blocks from the river walk where some of us walked in the morning and others did their morning run. We stopped at 4 different restaurants to nibble through the day, listen to some live music and ended with a fabulous dinner. Every place we went had a little different personality - but each was wonderful. We enjoyed strolling through the Broad Street Market (note - not open on Sundays). The house had 3 bedrooms with at least 2 beds in each room and 2 full baths (a must with 5 women)! The wifi was down when we arrived but a quick message to the host and he had someone come by and get it back up and running (a thrown breaker) - fantastic experience on the communication and resolution. Coming from multiple directions, we were concerned at first about parking because the place only comes with 1 free parking space. The host was so easy to work with to obtain 2 more passes (small fee). All pre-communication was clear and timely. We will likely come back - some time when City Island and baseball are in full swing. Maybe the Riverboat will run again soon too! Highly recommend.

Good Stay

Nice place overall but minimalistic in nature. Some things weren’t operational but we made do. It does sleep a lot of people but there are only 2 queen beds so when sleeping 5 grown men, the twin mattresses can be a challenge (quite uncomfortable). My biggest complaint was that of the parking. There is on street parking with permitted access only and parking in the complex as well. However, you have the pay the owner for the permit to be able to park in the complex, seems like that should be a part of the deal. Overall a decent stay, second time in the property in the last 3 years.

Not Clean at all

Required to remove shoes inside the home fine, but clean the floors. Drawers had trash, under the sink there was trash. Bed linens stained with some type of blood looking residue. Poor quality beds, mismatched linens. Ants all over. Who likes to sit and have bugs crawling all over them? toilet seat in upstairs bath completely broken on one side. Outside garbage can overflowing from previous renter and I was expected to bring to the front. Owner not very helpful and rude. Pictures taken of everything and even the way we left the property in case this prompts her to leave my family a bad review. I don’t appreciate the pressure to leave a good review and message them privately about issues. If I had been able to see what this place was really like I would not have rented it for my family. No ac in the upstairs rooms, 90 degree weather made for very hot nights. Again the owner was not very friendly. I’m not sure what the cleaning fee covered. There were a lot of demands to take the trash to the curb, wash towels, etc. not very pleased.

Accommodations were comfortable. Kitchen utensils, pots and pans were top notch. Felt like home.

We had a great time. Only 25 minutes from Hersey Park. Parking more than one car is a pain as you have to obtain a permit from city hall. No guest parking unless you have a permit.

About the host

Hosted by Q. Chau

Hi, thanks for checking out my place. I live to travel and meet new people and taste delicious new foods. Throughout my travels across the globe, it's always great to find a comfortable place to recharge and relax. That's what I will try to do for you here. And I have lived in the area for over 30 years so let me know if you want to do something particular. Also, I am a professional real estate investor and as such, I want you to have an exceptional experience while staying at any of my properties. This is how I make my living. Your comfort and enjoyment are my top priorities. Feel free to provide me honest feedback after your stay as I strive to improve. And your top reviews are very important to me. Thanks for considering my property for your stay in one of PA's top historic and well hidden treasure.

Why they chose this property

Let me tell you about this fantastic property in the heart of Midtown Harrisburg. My wife and I have lived in this spacious townhome for over 10 yrs. It's bright, super clean, modern and airy. Also, there are so many things to do and see. And the best is you can either walk or bike to most destinations on both shores of the Susquehanna River. The locals call it the East and West Shore. (Property is on the East Shore.) Lots of trails and the sunset views of the river are to die for.

I chose this house because of its location: easy and super fast access to all major highways, access to Amtrak or Greyhound just downtown, walk to everything if you're car-less. Best of all, the quality of living is superb. True urban living.

For example, the snowfall in the winter is an amazing site over the river. Great time for hot chocolate and snuggle in for a great movie. Spring and summer time means lots of outdoor activities. There are festivities on Front Street from Spring to Fall. Check them out on the site for all events and happenings.

The Susquehanna Arts Museum is just 2 blocks away. The Midtown Theater is 3 blocks away with an eclectic list of short and sundance type movies. The Midtown Bookstore is 1 block away with lots of great reads. The Dauphin County Library is just 7 minutes away. Live music can be had just across the street. If you like a nice wine or liquor, just walk across the street (literally) and they will be able to help you with suggestions.

If the bar and restaurant scene is your thing, then all you have to do is just pick one and walk there. Lots of great eats surrounding this home. Live music - check. Karaoke - done. Romantic walks at anytime of the day - check and check. You get the drift.

What makes this property unique

My favorite thing to do while I had lived here was walking or running with my great dane on Riverfront. You can go either direction and it's absolutely beautiful. If going North, you will find the Governor's mansion and huge historic mansions. On south Front Street, you have downtown and City Island. The AA baseball team plays there as well as the soccer team. There are sand volleyball courts for your use (free). Kids will love the train and mini-golf. Kayak and canoe rentals there too.

Anyhow, you will not be disappointed. I have furnished the place for your comfort with a full kitchen. Otherwise, takeout can be had just walking out the door. If you're bored, there is an old school Xbox with tons of games. If you're a book worm, there are some good reads. We have Netflix, Prime, Sling TV and cable TV (if avaiable from power antenna) for your tube-o-holics :-)

Come and experience what Harrisburg has to offer. We have one spot for private, off-street parking.
