My goal is to provide you with a low cost option - centrally located in the CIty of Harrisburg with an environment that is inviting, providing you with everything that you need for your trip. This is not a 5-star resort hotel where everything is brand new. That is not the experience that I am providing. Think about this like you are visiting a friend's house. We do not know each other now, but it is my sincerest hope that when you do leave, that we each will have a new friend. This home in the Shipoke neighborhood is on the national register of historic places and is centrally located with easy access to the City of Harrisburg and other popular locations in Central Pennsylvania. When visiting, please make yourself at home. In the kitchen there is an ample supply of snacks and coffee in the dining room to help get your day started. You will have access to other common areas within the house, including the laundry room. Location makes it perfect for longer term stays. Your second floor room comes with a comfortable full sized bed with a twin sized trundle bed tucked underneath. Both offer comfortable memory foam mattresses with bedding designed with comfort in mind. Your room is completely private, but you will share a bathroom down the hall on the same floor. We want to earn your 5-star review; please let me know about anything that we can do either before or during your stay to make your experience the best that it can be. Very convenient location for all types of travelers: - University of Pennsylvania Medical Center (UPMC): 0.2 miles or a 5 minute walk - Pennsylvania Capitol Complex: 0.8 miles or 17 minute walk - City Island: 0.8 miles or 18 minute walk - Amtrak Train Station: 0.6 miles or 12 minute walk - Bars and restaurants in downtown Harrisburg: 0.5 miles or 10 minute walk - Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC): 3.4 miles or 11 minute drive - Hershey Park (or Giant Center): 15 miles or 23 minute drive - Milton Hershey Medical Center: 12 miles or 17 minute drive - Harrisburg Airport: 11 miles or 14 minute drive - Messiah University (Mechanicsburg, PA): 12 miles or 16 minutes - Penn State Harrisburg: 12 miles or 15 minute drive You have access to enjoy the living room, kitchen and laundry room. Close proximity to I-83, Second Street and within walking distance to the State Capitol building and bars and restaurants in the downtown section of Harrisburg. Parking in Harrisburg can be a challenge. I recommend that you park in the parking lot next to the Paxton Company Fire Department. As you are traveling down 2nd Street, you will take a right into the parking lot. If you can park there, you are a one-minute walk to the house. When I travel, I only use Airbnb. I don't go to hotels anymore, so you are making a great choice. You should know that there are many different types of Airbnbs. Some hosts only want a handful of guests every month. This is not my business model. I have new guests everyday. Some guests might choose to use the kitchen 10 minutes after I clean it. Sometimes they clean up after themselves, sometimes they don't. If you are looking for a place where you can bring a white glove and rub it on every flat surface and leave with an even cleaner white glove then when you started - then I am not the host for you. No doubt that there is a host in Harrisburg for you, but that expectation simply is not possible for me to meet without having a cleaning team on duty 24/7. Air conditioning: there is central air conditioning in the home. We keep the air conditioning at 68F during the warmer months. Some guests have mentioned being too warm and some guests have even asked for an extra blanket. In both cases, I will do everything within my power to accommodate you. Parking: Harrisburg is not a parking friendly city. The good news is that if you park where I explain in the check-in instructions, you will not be towed or ticketed and you will be very close to the back entrance of the property.
