Pitt Parents weekend
We stayed here to visit my daughter for parents weekend and the location was good since we could walk to a lot of things. The neighborhood was a little run down but you are in a city and it is to be expected. Overall great experience

Great home close to the city
First- the host was amazing. Very responsive and helpful. The listing was exactly as described. Second- location close to the city and easy to maneuver around either by our own vehicle or Uber. There were no issues with the neighborhood- it was very quiet. Third- and I think really important- it’s hard to find a reasonably priced rental in Pittsburgh with two full bathrooms. This home also had upgraded appliances. I would recommend this home 1000%! THANK YOU FOR A GREAT EXPERIENCE!

I will say…
It’s a decent place. Hot tub and pool are not available for others to use unless you pay an extra $1,000. In addition, due to some damages in my end they attempted to charge me and use the coverage for insurance. Which is fraudulent because they’re double dipping. That’s just a reflection of the people they are when they are upset. But that’s okay.

Compromised neighborhood
So we booked our stay due to our daughter having a volleyball tournament. While booking, it would not allow me to register the dates without buying insurance needless to say it was only $80 so we went ahead and paid for it, although it was not an option to not have it! When we got there, we were extremely shocked of the location. Beware the location of this property is in an extremely compromised neighborhood where most of the homes are abandoned and boarded up. The AC for the upstairs does not work it was extremely hot the entire time we were there, the vents are cut in the floor and barely get air coming through. We left the property clean, dishes, put away, trash, taken out, and now I get a message from the insurance company, saying the owner put a claim because the blinds were broken, and something with the stairs? Absolutely not true.! This is a rip off, find somewhere else to stay!!!!

Short Weekend Stay
When we booked in May, there was no indication that there was a tenant below and that we would not have access to the backyard. We could hear the TV through the door and it was awkward to have the owners son on the property. We would have preferred to have more privacy. It also felt unsafe to have only one exit on the main floor in case of an emergency. Otherwise the place was comfortable for our needs.

The house is very roomy, clean, and very well supplied (toiletries, kitchen staples, paper products, etc.) Our only issue was the upstairs bedrooms were too warm and, while we were okay about parking on only the left side of the driveway, the hedge was overgrown and scratched the vehicle and made it impossible to get in and out of the car without moving it.

As advertised
Three of us from various parts of the US met here to visit Pittsburgh and catch a few baseball games. The location is under 2 miles to downtown or the strip...we would walk to where we were going in the morning, then take a Lyft home ($10 to $20 typical, depending on the demand at the time). Beds were comfortable, owners were responsive to questions and easy to work with. Not a lot of shops/restaurants in the immediate area. But if you like hole in the wall diners, I would highly recommend breakfast at Grandma B's just a few blocks away....they will make you feel like a local while you eat a lovely american style breakfast...
