Brazil Room | No Cleaning Fee

My goal is to provide you with a low cost and inviting space centrally located in Harrisburg. This home was built at the turn of the last century. If you need a place that is brand new and with a driveway, then I am not the host for you. If you have an appreciation for an experience designed to have the feel of visiting a friend's house - then I would love the chance to host you and hopefully we can each have a new friend when you checkout. The space 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. 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. Location makes it perfect for longer term stays. Note: this is the summer and it is hot. I keep the AC at 68, but some rooms do not have a vent. While the temperature might be higher than you would like, I keep the price as low as possible. If you need your room to be cold during the summer then please do not book. I cannot be any more clear. Your second floor room comes with a comfortable full sized bed with two nightstands with matching lamps. You will enjoy the memory foam mattress and other bedding designed with comfort in mind. This is the largest room in the house, but is still cozy. Please note that you will be sharing a bathroom with one other guest and that the home is proximately located close to train tracks, but the noise pollution from the train is not disruptive. Very convenient location for all types of travelers: - XL Live: 0.7 miles or a 15 minute walk - 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 No matter what challenges that you are going through now in your life, always remember that you deserve love and respect and that no one can ever take that away from you. Guest access You have access to enjoy the living room and kitchen. We have a laundry room that can be available upon request. It is off limits unless you make a request. This is because a small number of past guests were traumatized by seeing dirty sheets in the laundry room waiting to be cleaned. We do +25 loads of laundry per week, every week, or more than 5 times the laundry done by the average person. During your stay The best way to get a hold of me is to text through the Airbnb app. If it is late or I do not answer right away, then call me and I will address whatever concern that you have to the best of my ability. Other things to note 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 in 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. Check-in: if you request an early check-in, there is a 99% chance that I will be able to approve your request.
