Enter our 1st floor spacious lobby...you can store bikes/strollers and hang your coats.

Three bedrooms are located on the second floor (each with their own bath). Our bunkhouse can accommodate four kids comfortably and depending on your crew....Four adults. We can bring the total number of guests that we can accommodate at Little Red Cat to 8 using a couple of twin futon mattresses. Just let us know so we can have the bedding available. (There is an extra fee for guest #7 and 8)

The 3rd floor is our big surprise.... steel beams were installed so that we could open up the space. The original Kohler Bakery cabinets were moved from the 1st floor bakery to the help complete our kitchen. The living/dining area boasts a gas log fireplace which is quite lovely during our Pittsburgh winters. There is also a covered rooftop deck with fire pit and grill. We also have multiple dedicated work spaces with FREE WIFI

We are lucky to have views of Carson Street, Pitt's Cathedral of Learning and the South Side Slopes.

You will have access to everything on the 2nd and 3rd floor. Parking is in the back of the building off of Carey Way. You will enter the home from the front of the building. We also have a parking pass for street parking on Sarah Street.

Cortney and Nikolay will be available to answer any questions during your stay.

We are located at the quiet end of South Side near the South Side Works. You can quickly access the Great Allegheny Passage riverfront trail. Aldi, Rite Aid and LA Fitness are within a block of the home. A couple of blocks farther away you will find a variety of Food Trucks, The Cheese Cake Factory, Pins Mechanical, The Speckled Egg, Haufbrau House, Nadine's Diner, Birmingham Bridge Tavern, Emilianos and Thai Me UP. REI and Urban Outfitters are also nearby. We are one block from Historic Carson Street and best yet...we know where you can get an excellent cup of Intelligentsia coffee. We are proud of our city and look forward to making your visit a memorable one.

We are a walking neighborhood. Bike paths, trails and sidewalks are everywhere in the South Side. We are an easy Uber pick up spot (mention Big Dog) We have two off street parking spaces for your vehicles and an additional parking pass for street parking (Sarah Street). Quickly access the Hot Metal Bridge, the Parkway (376), Universities, Museums, Hospitals, Stadiums and Downtown Pittsburgh. We can guide you.

We had a bit of fun with the space and hope you will enjoy it. It seems to change with the seasons in a good way.
