Location, amenities and reviews drew us to this property. My son and I were in Pittsburgh for a week and this was home base. The PROS:Location. A short drive to downtown and the convention center as well as cultural attractions â Carnegie museums, Warhol museum, Phipps conservatory, Heinz History Center, stellar views a 10 minute walk away. Was great for July 4th fireworks. Also an easy hour drive to Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water. Restaurants and grocery are a couple minutes drive or several minutes walk away.Communication. Outstanding communication from the host, Corey â before and during our stay. Info on location and keyless access was perfect. Corey was very responsive to questions about dining in the area, quickly providing a range of nearby options.Parking. Free, private parking is fantastic! Fireflies in the yard and the doe and fawns that visited almost daily were a bonus.Space. For the two of us it was a perfect amount of space. Cost. Compared to other options it was a good value.The CONS. Overall the property could use a bit of freshening up. Some minor repairs, a coat of paint and a deep cleaning. Note the bed frames are squeaky and the road the house is on is STEEP. We had a good stay and the property met our needs.
Very clean; spatious ; abundant parking; pet-friendly; quiet neighborhood.
Cottage is short walk to Mt Washington overlook and Incline and ~15 minute drive to Pittâs Petersen Event Center venue. The rental is a bit off the beaten path and could be challenge for non-Pittsburgher or unadventurous drivers. The cottage is spatious, clean, and comfortable. The staircase to upstairs bedrooms is steep - after all this an older home, but nicely renovated and good appliances/fixtures.
This place worked out great for us (two adults and a 7-year-old) in June. Fireflies in the little yard. Easy parking. Easy in and out. Centrally located to everywhere we wanted to go in Pittsburgh. Comfortable inside, it had everything we needed with a little kitchen, washer dryer, sitting and eating area, then upstairs clean towels and bedding in the 2 bedrooms and good little bathroom.
Steep hill was a non-issue in summer. Steep steps inside were fine for us, could be challenging for others.
The place was perfect for friend and I who were visiting Pittsburgh to watch the NCAA basketball tournament at PPG arena. Walking distance to restaurants but it is hilly. 8min uber to PPG arena. I really is like a cottage in the city⊠was pleasantly surprised to see a few Deer in the back yard every morning.
