The dining table is large enough to seat 6 or more and there is a kitchen island for extra table surface/serving area. The kitchen has natural butcher block counter tops, turquoise folk art and a view of the back yard off the back porch. You will find flatware, dishes and cooking utensils to accommodate most of your cooking and dining needs.There is a Keurig coffee machine.

Upstairs are two bedrooms and a sitting room with a futon bed. One queen sized bed, one full sized bed and the sitting room has lots of games to choose from.

Great house and location!

Some friends and I had a great stay here. The location is perfect to get to Highland Park/East Liberty/Shadyside or over the hill to Lawrenceville. The house was clean and we enjoyed using the kitchen to cook some meals. We will definitely stay here again when in town to visit family.

The best parts about this stay are the very comfortable beds (although they might be a bit tight for 2 sleepers), quality AC units in bedrooms, beautiful decor, easy-to-use security system, Netflix in the living room, and we never had an issue parking outside. I am happy we stayed here.

Super clean, very comfortable, and great location

The place was the perfect size for my group of friends. It was an easy location to have as our homebase as we explored. Pittsburgh and I especially enjoyed getting up early and climbing up to the Garfield community garden at the top of the hill. Everything was just as described, and it’s a place I would definitely recommend to others looking for a comfortable space to enjoy Pittsburgh from

The house was like it was described in the listing. It was very spacious for our family of 5. When we arrived, all the upstairs windows were open, making the house very cold since it was in the 40s. Directions on how to set the heat would be helpful. There were about 4-5 modes to choose from on the thermostat controllers. Overall, it was a good experience. The host, Janet, was very easy to work with and responsive to my questions.

We were in town for the Taylor Swift concert and had a nice stay at Janet's place. The house was spacious and comfortable. The only con I would say is that the area was not very walkable.

A great property!

We had a wonderful stay. The house was in pristine condition when we checked in, the beds were very comfortable, and the house was nicely decorated. There was plenty of space and everything we needed for supplies in the kitchen and plenty of clean towels, which were a nice touch! Parking was easy to find, and the house has a nice little yard area. Janet was very friendly and the check in and check out processes were a breeze! I tend to have high standards with where I stay, and this property definitely exceeded those. I would definitely book this house for a future stay in Pittsburgh. Thanks Janet!!

I would not stay at this property again.The listing photos appear to be heavily edited and do not accurately reflect the current condition of the space. In person, the property feels noticeably outdated and not as well-maintained as presented online.One of the biggest concerns was the odor. There was a persistent, stale smell throughout the home that did not go away during our stay. It seemed embedded in the space—possibly due to poor ventilation, lingering cooking odors, or lack of deep cleaning. It made the environment uncomfortable.Another major issue was safety. There is an outdated basement door that had a key left in it, which did not feel secure at all. It appeared that the door could be easily accessed or compromised, which raised serious concerns about the overall security of the property.Overall, the property did not meet expectations based on the listing. I would strongly encourage the host to update the photos to reflect the true condition of the space, improve ventilation and cleanliness, and address the security concerns immediately.

Nice house

We stayed for a month with two small kids. The garden and patio were nice to play. The house was comfy and Janet was quick to help us with questions and needs we had. We do think the pictures are a little flattering, the house does have neighbors and is not very big. At the time of our stay the third bedroom was not equipped for a long stay, with an old couch and lack of a fan. She did tell us she worked on our feedback.

Excellent property and location. Had a problem getting into the property and the host was immediately helpful. It was completely my fault. There was a power outage because of an accident down the street. Host did everything she could. It would have been perfect if all the windows had screens and there were flashlights at the ready. That is my only recommendation going forward!
