My family loved th

Our family had a lovely stay here- it was safe, quiet, fun, clean, and in a beautiful neighborhood. The house is an older house, so you need to expect some things that go with that, but it was clean and very functional for our family. There was AC, but it consisted of two window units (one on the third floor and one in the main bedroom on the second floor). We made use of all of the spaces. The kids really enjoyed the popcorn maker and the game room upstairs. I appreciated the off-street parking, the functional and fully prepared kitchen (with dishwasher detergent and coffee!), and porches. On our second day there were two fawns that decided to bed down next to the house that didn’t mind us gawking at them from the driveway. The owner checked in with us to make sure everything was going well while we were there. We would stay again if we find ourselves in Pittsburgh again.

This is in a nice, well-located neighborhood, and the host, Joseph, is extremely nice and responsive. However, he does not live in the area, and was not fully aware of many of the maintenance problems when we visited in early June, 2024. First and foremost -- it is NOT air conditioned, and listing air conditioning as an amenity is false advertising. There is a small window unit in the 3rd floor attic rec room. Joseph told me that there was supposed to be another larger window unit for the downstairs area, but it was not installed at the time we there, and the three bedrooms on the second floor are not and will not be air conditioned. It was hot and humid, and some of our party had a very difficult time sleeping. There were tower fans in each bedroom, but they were not enough. Other issues: There were no screens on the front downstairs windows, so we could not open them to create a cross breeze without letting in bugs. There was only one toilet paper roll for two bathrooms. There is not enough hot water for two people to shower at the same time. A bedroom doorknob and a closet doorknob both fell off the first time we touched them. The refrigerator was extremely loud and not very cold. The cheap stick-on wallpaper was peeling everywhere. The place needs attention.

Wonderful experience! The neighborhood was quiet and beautiful. The house is an older house, but it was immaculately clean. We were so impressed by how absolutely every place in the house was spotless! The property manager was fantastic. He responded to every message promptly - most of the time within minutes. The house had plenty of room for my husband, me, and our adult son. The game room on the 3rd floor was a nice perk! We would stay there again.
