About this apartment rental

Our home in the heart of the historic South Side Flats neighborhood, is a five minute drive to revitalized downtown Pittsburgh. Our location offers easy access to all Pittsburgh sports stadiums, the Riverfront Trail and great shopping. Only 10 minutes to all major universities and medical institutions in Oakland. Near major parks and museums.
Our first floor, 5 room suite sleeps up to 4 guests with kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, & small garden. Steps away from Pittsburgh's most exciting neighborhood!
With exposed brick, ceiling fans and an eclectic mix of furnishings collected over the years, our house, more than 100 years old, welcomes guests who enjoy the comfort of home and the excitement of an amazing City. Our property is only steps away from Pittsburgh's "entertainment district", and close to all major amenities the city has to offer. Please be aware that there will be outside noise from the neighborhood at night, as we sit only 1/2 block off of the main entertainment area.
Our guests have full access to the private, 1st floor, 5 room apartment; 2 bedrooms, kitchen, large living room/dining area, 1 & 1/2 baths, and a private entrance. Please note that access to the kitchen and 2nd bedroom is by walking through the 1st bedroom, but we provide privacy screens and curtains for your comfort. The second bedroom has double doors that close off the rest of the apartment.
In the Spring of each year we work on the adjoining small city garden, which is in bloom through Fall, and our guests have full access. Our deck, on the second floor, is available only upon request.

Attended a daughter’s CMU graduation with my father and this property was just what we needed for the visit. We did need Uber to get to CMU but the trips where about $16.

We had an extremely enjoyable stay here. Located on the South Side with walking distance to restaurants and bars, and an easy 10 min ride to the Strip District. Multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, a large kitchen and living room gave us lots of space to relax and perform work. Would definitely stay again. Owners were very easy to communicate with!

Great facility, clean and spacious. Was led to believe we had designated parking. Host was advised my daughter had a bad knee problem. Each night parking was at least 1/1/2 blocks from our rental or wherever we could find a spot. Host contact was terrible. I left a voice mail at 10.30 Saturday requesting a meet. No call back as yet.

Overall a comfortable & clean little find tucked inside this old storefront. We had fun looking at the many unique antiques & blasts from the past. Within walking distance of a few bars & shops. The parking is certainly challenging for non-city folks but the owners were wonderful in helping us navigate & understand where parking is available. My one request would be updated towels & washrags , but they were clean & the beds were comfortable.

We were in town to visit our nephew at Carnegie Mellon and decided to check out this neighborhood. The apartment was bigger than we expected but otherwise was exactly as described! The owners were very easy to work with and they made sure we had everything we needed. Downtown Pittsburgh was within walking distance but we had two great meals right in Southside Flats. We’d definitely come back to this property!

Easy, convenient, quiet

Easy, convenient, quiet

This is a quirky little "bohemian" style apartment in what appears to be an up-and-coming hipster area of town. It is less than a block off of the main drag, which is home to lots of funky restaurants and bars. It was perfect for our short stay - the bedrooms were quiet and we were warm and comfortable. My only suggestion is that if you are planning to visit, bring a couple of extension cords because the power outlets are in odd places. This is true especially in the kitchen, where food prep space is kind of limited. But who needs to cook with all of the great food options nearby? We would definitely stay there again.

I have always loved the South Side and this location fit perfectly with our intent to walk our favorite sections of the city. East access to the South Side watering holes and the 10th Street Bridge to explore other walkable areas. The decorations in the apartment have a cool vibe and the beds were both comfortable. The cable TV was also a nice perk. I plan to stay again on my next Pittsburgh adventure.

Exceptional property/ wonderful hosts

Exceptional property/ wonderful hosts

The property is fabulous. Very classy yet extremely comfortable. Super soft sheets and nice ceiling fans and air conditioning. Tastefully decorated to create a very artistic and inviting atmosphere. The bedrooms are very quiet (although there is a bit of typical city humming in the front living room). Lots of extra soft blankets and fluffy towels. Hosts live next door and are very warm and caring. They provided a bottle of my now-favorite red wine as a welcome gift. Prepare to pay for parking (through convenient phone app that allows time extensions) if you want to park directly in front of property (or park a block away from property for free). My daughter is a student at Pitt and it is a ten minute ride from campus. HIGHLY recommended!!!

In The Middle of It All

Booking and arrival were super easy. Parking was a bit of a challenge so be aware. The apartment was super eclectic and just what we wanted. Had some issues trying tonregulate the heat but after speaking with the owner were able to get it to manageable. The noise a lit of reviews spoke about was nonexistent for us. Loved being right in the middle of all the action. Will definitely be back.

We traveled to Pittsburgh for a campus tour. This apartment was clean and comfortable and in a great location. The electric decor gave it a fun vibe. Parking was easy to find. The owner was easy to get a hold of and communicate with. If our son picks Pitt as his college of choice, we hope to be back to stay again!

The location was perfect for eating and drinking. Piper’s pub and urban tap were favorites. It’s noisy as you are just off the main road. The rooms were large and cozy. Everything you could need was available. Parking was easy and we used uber for most of the trip.

Comfortable spacious accomodations

Comfortable spacious accomodations

Everything was wonderful in the apartment ! Plenty of towels, TP, garbage bags, tissues, etc. Great written info and instructions. Very comfortable ! Only suggestion for improvement is that there's only one small TV in the living room; would be great to have one in the bedroom. The South side is very noisy on weekend nights and parking is extremely difficult to find, but that cannot be changed.... travelers just need to be aware.

Very cool place right off the main drag in the south side flats. As a result, it’s pretty noisy into the late hours, but the bedrooms are completely quiet. So accessible to everywhere. We had a great time and will be back!

What a great place!! One of the most artfully eclectic homes we have ever stayed in. Comfortable and clean. Perfect location. Just close enough to experience the local flavor but not busy or loud. We walked to local restaurants for breakfast and lunch enjoying wonderful meals for great prices. Close to the center of town by a 10 minute UBER drive. Thanks Roberta and Robert for letting us enjoy your wonderful city. It was a short stay but we saw a lot. Kathy & Brent

Roberta's accomodations are FANTASTIC! We love the proximity to everything in Southside, literally half a block from Carson Street. We walked everywhere but Ubers can take you anywhere. We were in for a game at Heinz Field Labor Day weekend with 8 couples and we were thrilled to find a few Airbnb/VRBO that could accomodate everyone. Roberta's place is roomy, and the decor is fascinating: a mix of western, European, Pittsburgh sports and comfortable furniture. We were also happy to not have to worry about carrying a key with us, the combination entrance was super easy. I would recommend this location to anyone, the price is great, sleeps 4 and would be good for a family too. I would definitely stay here again.
