I enjoyed visiting the Edgar Allan Poe House. I'm giving a 3 star rating because in my mind that indicates average. The Edgar Allan Poe house isn't anything amazing that you haven't seen before. However, if you know who Edgar Allan Poe is and you have an appreciation for his work, then visiting his house is a great way to spend 30 minutes. Also, this attraction is very low-cost, so the cost is worth the visit. I'd recommend this to anyone who has an interest in Edgar Allan Poe's life. I enjoyed learning more about his house and how he lived.

Cool little piece of Baltimore and literary history. The folks who work here are quite knowledgeable and friendly. It's a small house so don't expect this to take up your whole day, but visit Poe's grave after as part of your city tour.

Very disappointing. Really tiny place, not exactly safe to be inside. Didn’t really have a lot of stuff to see or buy. One weird lady told us everything about his life, but I could have learned about it online, in a comfortable place.

The staff are very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the house amd it's infamous owner. Admittedly, the house is small, but thats to be expected from a house of that time period. They have preserved the house well and will answer any questions you have to the best they can. The house itself is very creepy and gives you insight int the mind of Edgar Allan Poe.

A must visit if you're a fan of Poe. The staff are welcoming and knowledgeable and will give great recommendations for where to go next.

It's a very small place, but the guides were very informative and told an interesting story about an interesting person. Only gripe, there is no parking.

Just a small row house. Construction in area. Parking hard to find. Very interesting place to visit.

This may be a fine place to visit, but it has many stairs inside and at the entrance and is not accessible or up to modern standards, partly because of it's age. It is imossible to persons with wheelchairs.

Worth the trip for any Poe or history fan. Super small so will not take too much time to tour.

Wonderful piece of history if you are a Poe fan. The folks working there are very knowledgeable and courteous. It is in a sketchy block of Baltimore , however, if your there during the day you shouldn't have much to worry about. Parking is limited so I would suggest a Taxi of some sort.

While his more popular writings were not penned here, the Poe House captures his life in Baltimore very well. The staff is so knowledgeable and are wonderful story tellers. The steep stairs and small rooms gives rise the claustrophobia of "The Cask of Amontillado". Just standing where he stood feels special.

The E. A. Poe house was not at all what I had expected it would be but it was still an amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone. The tour was self guided and fairly cheap considering the tourist packed inner harbor only a couple of miles down the road. There are few volunteers stationed around to answer questions youight have. And a small gift shop at the front room inside the house.

It was very small but they only charged accordingly. Interesting to see how people lived back in his time. So minimal. Interesting facts were available and cute trinkets for purchase.

Not a good area but worth a visit if you are staying nearby. It puts a few things into perspective considering the period in which he lived. Not a long walk to the grave site from here (consider the area though).
