🏠 HOUSE LAYOUT

This comfortable first-floor apartment offers a quiet, private space with flexible entry options and everything you need for a relaxed stay in Bloomfield.

If you’re using the included off-street parking spot behind the home, you’ll walk down a flight of outdoor steps and pass through the shared backyard to reach your dedicated side-door entrance—no stairs inside the unit itself (except for accessing laundry). Prefer to park up front? Free street parking is also available, with a shared front entrance that leads into a common hallway used by both the upper and lower units.

Step inside through the side door and you’ll enter a bright, functional kitchen outfitted with full-size appliances, all the basics for cooking, and a cozy butcher-block table with seating for two—perfect for a quiet breakfast or laptop session with coffee.

To the left of the kitchen, you'll find a clean and simple full bathroom with a shower/tub combo, plush towels, and premium toiletries to make you feel right at home.

Heading to the right, you’ll move through the living room—a relaxed space with a comfy couch, smart TV, and just enough room to stretch out and unwind after a day in the city. Beyond the living room is the bedroom, located at the front of the house, featuring a queen-size bed, soft linens, blackout curtains, and a second smart TV for easy, in-bed movie nights.

The unit is located on the first floor of a classic Pittsburgh duplex, with another apartment directly above. A washer and dryer are available for guest use in the basement, shared with the upstairs unit and our professional cleaning team. Access can be provided upon request.

Whether you’re here for a weekend trip or a longer stay, this unit offers a practical, well-equipped space in a great location—perfect for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and walkability without the extra fluff.

NEIGHBORHOOD

Welcome to Bloomfield—Pittsburgh’s “Little Italy” and one of the city’s most walkable, down-to-earth neighborhoods. Just three miles from downtown, Bloomfield blends old-school charm with a growing mix of global eats, indie shops, and a strong sense of community.

Liberty Avenue is the neighborhood’s main artery, lined with everything from classic Italian bakeries and butchers to Thai, Vietnamese, and vegan hotspots. Grab a burger at Tessaro’s, sip espresso at a sidewalk café, or explore the Bloomfield Saturday Market in the warmer months.

The area is known for its tight-knit, working-class roots, with rows of modest brick homes and aluminum awnings giving way to a lively, lived-in vibe. It’s also home to West Penn Hospital and just a short ride over the Bloomfield Bridge to Oakland’s universities and museums.

Whether you’re here for the food, the festivals (don’t miss Little Italy Days in August!), or just a laid-back, walkable stay, Bloomfield offers a slice of authentic Pittsburgh life.

We recommend Uber or Lyft to navigate Pittsburgh (or walking, of course!). With its hills, rivers, and bridges, Pittsburgh is one of the most challenging cities to drive in—but also one of the most scenic!

Parking is easy—free off-street parking is included behind the home, and street parking is also available out front.

Last minute gem

In town for mom’s surgery. The house, I would describe (for a lack of a better description), is a “row” house on a long street. Not much to look at on the outside but don’t be fooled by it. It is renovated and super cute on the inside. The street is very quiet and although the parking isn’t the best the host will provide an electronic parking “pass”, to you and your guest, which will allow you to park at an 1-hour parking space in the city without being ticketed. I’m a New Yorker so I really didn’t mind. The host was very receptive and always answered any issues right away. Don’t pass this place by it’s a real gem. Next time I’m here I will check here first to see if it’s available!!
