The Musser Park neighborhood is on Lancaster's East side, and is a short walk to parks, area restaurants and downtown entertainment.

It had everything we needed from a coffee pot and toaster to a great shower and comfy bed. We were very comfortable there. ##### Sierra G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dania O. 22 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The apartment is very well located. It was very easy to walk around town. We didn't have noise issues. Yes, the apartment shares a wall with the main house and there is a little dog, but he barely barked. Street noise was minimal. Bed is comfortable and bathroom is well appointed. Some people said they had trouble checking in. We didn't. But we recommend that you check the link with the checking info before arriving to the unit. Our link was not working initially but the host promtly fixed the issue. We would definetively stay again next time. ##### Dania O. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jae l. 23 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### "Historic" Means Bustling With Life City block like living. Clean and quaint, and in walking distance from corner stores, barber shops, etc... Forgot your charger, need to get prepared food or groceries; all in walking distance. No closet, but Roku amenities which allow you to login to your streaming service regulars. Limited grass and park space for dogs, however the City parking guidelines were clear and concise. Be kind and top the cleaners ##### jae l.

Neighborhood was very dark and lower economic with people in the street throughout the night and drug users on the corner. Did not have the link to get parking permit and did not know i needed it until after I got there. nice for a single person who was alone. ##### Paul S.
