This apartment is a convenient 5 minute drive to Hershey Park. You could probably walk but with three kids we opted not to do that. Our three children 14, 9, and 7 and my husband and I fit easily into this apartment. The layout is nice for families with the bedrooms being on opposite ends of each other. It was simply, but well equipped. For those with children, the apartment has one TV and only subscription services (no cable). There is a ROKU service. We watched Netflix and Amazon Prime the few hours we were actually in the apartment with down time. The wifi worked well, so the kids got their daily fill of youtube on their various tablets. The beds are comfy. The linens, towels, and cooking supplies were all nice. The apartment was extremely CLEAN. Even my teenager commented on this. We almost always use VRBO type rentals and she was the first to point out the cleanliness and I agree. Whoever cleans the apartment should get a pat on the back.
The rental is located above a restaurant. You enter and exit through the restaurant and or a side door through the patio. There appeared to be longtime renters there too in other apartments, but we never saw or heard them. We enjoyed being above a restaurant as my child was old enough to watch her brother and sister while we walked downstairs for a good food and drinks for happy hour. The rental was quiet and we were never bothered by being above a restaurant. FYI, the building (like lots and lots of small towns in PA) is OLD. The staircases are narrow. I can see this being a bit difficult for elderly or anyone with difficulties with stairs. You wouldn't get a stroller up the stairs very easily, but the owners are so accommodating that they would probably find a place for you to store it :) One other thing I want to mention is that you are staying in an old building. While the appliances and bathrooms/windows are modern, the structure is old. Expect that, but don't let it stop you from renting. There was very little (and confusing) off street parking. We easily parked on the street each day, but did have to move our car by 10 am every morning to avoid a ticket. This wasn't a big deal for us, but if you stay ask the owner to clarify the parking. The owner asked what additions I would make to the rental and was open and thankful for the recommendation. I would give this rental 4.5 stars if there was an option. We overall enjoyed our stay and was happy with our choice as we drove away. Thank you!
