Comfy landing spot for bringing the dogs and exploring Pittsburgh!
We had a good time here while staying in Pittsburgh with our two dogs! Super clean and cute. And the fenced in backyard is clutch (there is a small opening on the side that the picture shows, but it was easy to block off). Would stay here again if we had the dogs with us.

The property is secluded in the hills of Pittsburgh and once inside I was amazed at the great design. The rooms are very large with ample storage. The bathroom was awesomely detailed. The kitchen has a great island with plenty of space. The backyard is cozy and has its own unique touch. Great place to stay.

Honestly one of the best places I’ve stayed
This apartment had nearly every amenity you could think of, truly impressive. It was spotless upon arrival and felt incredibly welcoming from the moment I stepped in. Each room was thoughtfully and delicately prepared, making it clear that a lot of care went into every detail. A great stay all around. I recommend this place and I definitely want to revisit.

Chic, spacious and spotless
This property is immaculate. The rooms are large and well appointed. Although it is pet friendly, one would never know it; the furniture is clean and beautifully arranged in this 3 bedroom home this enormous modern kitchen and dining area. The color scheme is elegant and clean in lines. The hosts were very patient with our inability to access the lock on the front door and even came to show us and make sure we were comfortable with the process. The property is located on a steep hill on a narrow street, but is secluded and entirely private. The back yard is clean and cozy with soft lighting. Once inside, everything was wonderful
