Your Home Away From Home!

very clean house in a quiet neighborhood on a dead-end street. it felt safe, and the one neighbor we chatted with was friendly. there was adequate street parking. the owner was friendly and quick to respond to questions. the house was missing a few minor amenities that would have made it a little nicer (e.g. only one functioning pingpong ball, no oven mitts, bedroom curtains were too sheer) but overall a very good experience. if you like to watch sports, this would be an excellent choice as there are large tvs in most of the rooms. i would def come back here but i'd be sure to bring my own pingpong balls!

Older home, decorated tastefully, priced appropriately. Aesthetically pleasing. Kitchen well stocked with utensils, cookware, etc. However, the floors were uneven and in a few spots sank when you walked despite new floor covering. Lacked privacy since only a few windows had blinds, unsettling to be in the bedroom and master bath with the house next door being 10 feet away with their window and back porch right across in direct view. Also no blinds on front windows, again no privacy. Mattresses were just ok and basic. The front wooden porch had some weeds poking up. The back porch overlooked 5 feet tall, overgrown weeds that were a huge eyesore, back yard was unwalkable. The game room was about 90 degrees which is somewhat understandable given the outside temp and being 3rd floor but the AC was not pumping out cold air to the game room. The other houses on the street were questionably abandoned, unkempt. This location is in an older neighbor, not walkable to anywhere - no restaurants, no stores, nothing. We wouldn’t have felt safe to walk anywhere anyway. Had never been to Pittsburgh and didn’t realize it was so hilly so even if it felt safe to do so, walking to the city district/water front would not have been doable.

A well appointed and spacious stay central to Pittsburgh and many things to do. There were a few quirks to the house but those were offset wholly by the value.

Overall my stay with my family of 6 was good. The only complaints are the following: the floor was a little lopsided so a warning on that would have been appreciated. Also, the main bedroom doesn’t have rack to hang up clothes so we couldn’t hang our nice outfits in that room. Additionally in the bedrooms, there was no top sheet. Only a fitted and a blanket. For the common spaces, as an older adult I had complications using the TV. some direction in that would’ve be nice. Lastly, the drain in the two upstairs bathrooms were backed up when we showered. But again, we did enjoy our stay.

It was very close and easy to get to the game and back.
