The house is got some really cool old vibes with a really great view and location, walking distance to some fun spots!

Ideally situated across from the lovely Susquehanna River and in the heart of Midtown Harrisburg, this is a terrific spot to visit. The hosts were very responsive and helpful.

A nice walkable neighborhood.

As advertised. Close to attractions. Parking wasn’t as hard as what I had seen other guests describe. Good launching point to the surrounding area. If you like old houses (which we do) you will like this house!

The home itself was an older home with a lot of character & charm. Just a neat place! Many details & information were shared in advance of our arrival which was very helpful. . All of our needs were met by the host and we enjoyed our stay there. The biggest problem was parking near the home. It was stressful. Needed to work around street cleaning, streets being repaved, and one-way streets. Had to park 4-5 blocks up the street in order to be safe from tickets or towing. Not only just one but had 2 vehicles to park. Parking was the only negative during our stay in Harrisburg.

Very clean with comfortable furniture. Owner very responsive.

The home is absolutely beautiful. The hardwood floors, stain glass windows, view of the river, all of it was just amazing. The communication was top notch. I knew if anything cane up, I could reach out. If I'm ever planning to go back, I would most definitely stay again!

We left and stayed at a hotel for the week instead of staying the night here because the house did not meet the needs of our family, and this was not clear prior to booking the stay. The house location and expectations were unworkable for us. Examples: (1) The first example isn't really the homeowner's fault, and is completely understandable given the age and location of the home. Unfortunately, we couldn't find out about these prior to booking, or we would have booked elsewhere. There was no parking at the property, and there were no designated spots on the closest side road. This meant every time we left, we had to move the cars and hope to find a nearby spot when we returned. While this is perfectly fine for some, the walk was hard on my parents, who are getting up there in years. The narrow steps inside were also difficult for my parents. (2) The rest of our examples are house rules set by the owner. The house has some air conditioning, but the homeowner requested that it be set at 75 degrees, which is too warm for our family, which runs hot. (This was actually the final straw that caused us to choose to pay the extra money for a hotel-- otherwise we'd be too tired and cranky to enjoy the week... best money we spent!) (3) The house had beautiful windows looking at the water, but the homeowner requested the windows remained shuttered during daytime hours to protect their hardwood floors. I understand that this is an old house, but the PRIMARY selling point for booking this was that it had a beautiful view. My dad will spend hours just watching the water, which he was unable to see because the windows had to remain shuttered. (4) The rules said we were not able to wear shoes in the house to protect the floor. Two members of my family are required by their doctor to wear shoes except for when they're laying down for bed. (5) The rules also said we could not eat anywhere other than the kitchen or dining room. This just didn't work for my family, who likes to snack while watching movies and playing games.... though, I should also mention there is no TV here. These restrictions probably work for many people, but it did not work for our family of 5. We left and did not stay for the week. I wouldn't post all of this because the homeowners seem lovely, but I would like to spare another family the inconvenience we went through.

great location nice people.

Staying at the Professor's Place made our family's volunteer weekend in Harrisburg perfect! We all had plenty of room to spread out inside the house--- as well as on the balconies and back patio. The neighbors were wonderful and the teens were able to walk to the Broad Street Market to get food on their own! We definitely hop to stay again in the near future! Thanks for sharing your home with us!!!

The house was just as described. It accommodated our large party well, which was in the area for a short weekend away. It is within walking distance from some shops and restaurants, which is nice. Parking wasn't bad on the weekend or maybe we just got lucky but permit parking wasn't enforced on Saturday/Sunday. Overall, it was a good experience. Pet friendly was nice feature, as we have two small dogs. The grass right across the street was nice as well. Good views from each level of the home. Listen to what the directions say about the heat,. It was VERY cold and windy and we kept the heat on 60 the entire time and the house stayed very warm!

This was a perfect place for our family. We have a family member in the hospital down the street so this was a prime location. We woke each morning to a beautiful view of the Susquehanna River that lightened our spirits. Our family took full advantage of all the games located on the property. Our favorite game though was hide n seek. Parking was a bit of a challenge but we expected that. We would definitely stay here again.

Lovely home, walking distance from everything. The hosts provided excellent instructions about the property and surrounding area. Would recommend to friends.

We stayed for the weekend of the Pump Muster & this house was PERFECT! Walking distance to everything & our 1 year old absolutely loved running from end to end of the house & all of the toys! The rooms are spacious & super clean! We will definitely be staying here again!

My family and I enjoyed a long weekend at this property. It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. It was a short 20 mins to Hersey Park. We also enjoyed walking along the river and exploring the downtown area.

Great hosts, communicative and flexible. The house is a stunning old home with most of the original features with a few well done updates like exposed brick walls. The decor is minimal but nice and the location can’t be beat with views of the river and a short walk to the Broad Street Market and City Island.

The property was quite charming. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. The location to everything in the city was perfect. The running, walking and bike paths that ran along the river directly across the street were truly enjoyable.

Enjoyed this lovely historic home. Conveniently located to downtown activities and restaurants. The rental had plenty of space to settle in and feel at home, also a good value for the money.Try Los Tres Cubanos when in Harrisburg, worth the visit.

Great location with a beautiful view of the river. Very short drive to Hershey, plenty of shopping nearby. The house was perfect for our needs. Parking was a little bit of an issue but manageable.

Several friends and I spent a weekend here and couldn’t of asked for a better spot! Almost everywhere we wanted to go was within walking distance! Great view of the river and great neighborhood! The homeowners made everything about the stay extremely easy and even took the time to give us a list of restaurants, certain sites, etc. I would definitely recommend this home!
