The house was very nice and had everything you'd possibly need during your stay. I really liked the location.
We enjoyed our stay at this property. Very close to the city and a walk to the Pittsburgh Incline and a beautiful view of the city from Mt. Washington.
As newbies to Pittsburgh we were very pleased to stay in this neighborhood. We were able to maneuver getting downtown, grocery store and restaurants easily (with the help of friendly people). House as advertised-safe, clean and plenty of space for 4 of us. Well stocked. Highly recommend.
We were pleasantly surprised with the accommodations. The area is perfect, from the local eateries to the fairly quick drive to Downtown area! The home was exactly as advertised, clean and spacious and the added surprise of the extras like toiletries and kitchen supplies! We all enjoyed the rocking chair,porch swing and the very kind neighbours. We would definitely rent the home again!

Stayed here for a guy’s extended Steeler’s football weekend and it was perfect. Easy 15 minute walk to the Funicular railway and connecting subway station into downtown Pittsburgh and the North Shore. The house was immaculate, well stocked and comfortable. The neighborhood isn’t necessarily what the typical tourist destination looks like, but has its own charm and is very quiet. Overall, a great choice and a reasonable price. We’d stay here again!
We rented this house in order to have Thanksgiving with our son, who lives in Pittsburgh. It was outstanding all around. The kitchen was small, but functional for this purpose. The hosts provided lots of little things, which we did not need but were still good. Having easy off-street parking in Pittsburgh was great. All in all, it was an excellent stay. We would definitely rent again.
My son is in training here we are from the New York area. We decided to have our son who is in Cincinnati meet us in Pittsburgh the sun that’s in Pittsburgh. Also meet us and we got this house so we can have Thanksgiving together in a warm comfortable environment.
The ease of checking in and checking out is exactly what we needed this weekend for a basketball tournament with unpredictable game times. The house had all the stuff we needed for my three kids and I. Plenty of towels/washclothes, kitchen accessories and even tea. I really appreciated the comfy beds and blankets. I asked for a later check out and my request was accommodated immediately. I would recommend this cozy house to everyone.
Thanks

Nice place. Neighbours in the area were friendly. We really enjoyed having a view of the city just a minute walk away at Grandview park.
Not a ton of local food places near by, but it was easy enough to get to other parts of the city by transit and Uber.
Super easy check in and great communication.
We weren’t sure driving up to the area at first, but you can’t always judge a book by its cover. It felt like a very safe and friendly area during our stay. The property and house was cute and comfy. Had everything we needed. We really loved it. Thankyou!

Loved our stay in Pittsburgh. The host paid attention to detail and had coffee, soaps , and even razors for the bathroom. It is a quiet neighborhood with hills but standing outside on the front porch- “wow” sunset views were worth it. Every room was clean, I was able to put my daughter’s items in her own room in the bed drawers, closet space is plenty in each room. The ac unit pumped nice cool air. I plan to come back as my husband is from the area and definitely would stay here again at my new Pa besties’ house. 5 star review.
This property was exactly as listed and perfectly suitable for our family getaway for the weekend. It is a very quick drive to virtually anywhere of interest in the Pittsburgh area and served as a great home base for our family. It is not in a terribly walker-friendly area like many other listings may be but it is more than beeping for a family of 4 to comfortably stay and enjoy the city.
Be sure you are ok with the only bathroom being on the 2nd floor, which we were. I could see for some families, that might be an issue.

You get what you pay for
The area felt unsafe and the home gave us an overall uneasy feeling. To top it off the home had a gross musty smell. Our socks were black after the first evening in the home. I booked a stay somewhere else before we even went to bed the first night. I will say, the host was leaving as we arrived and greeted us. She was friendly and gave us some recommendations. If you are not familiar with a specific area, please do your research ahead of time. This was not the fault of the host, but my own lack of planning.
We enjoyed our stay here. The place was clean, comfortable and exactly as described. It's in a great location - close to downtown but still quiet and easy to get around. One of our favorite perks was the off-street parking.
Property was well-appointed and communication with the host was easy. Location afforded quick Uber rides to downtown convention area and was very convenient.
