West Penn hospital is a ~10 minute walk, Bloomfield's public swimming pool is ~2 blocks away...this is a great location, perfect for walking, but also great access to the rest of Pittsburgh. By booking, Guest and all guests of Guest agree to be bound by our Terms & Conditions, found here: https://www.hostwisestays.com/bookingagreement. We encourage our guests to read these carefully. Key Ts & Cs (but not limited to) are listed below.
1. Smoking of any type, of any product, is not permitted in the Property. A minimum $1,000 fee will apply if smoking is detected inside. Smoking outside with all doors & windows closed is permitted, with all butts properly disposed of.
2. People other than those in the Guest party may not stay overnight in the property. Any other person in the property is the sole responsibility of Guest. The Host has not represented this unit as an event facility, therefore, additional guests are permitted only with prior notice. At no time may any of these visitors remain overnight or assume any guest privileges whatsoever.
3. The Host is not responsible for any accidents, injuries or illness that occurs while on the premises or its facilities. The Host is not responsible for the loss of personal belongings or valuables of the guest. By accepting this reservation, it is agreed that all guests are expressly assuming the risk of any harm arising from their use of the premises or others whom they invite to use the premise.
4. Host allows children with the following stipulations: Guests are responsible for any and all necessary 'child proofing' and inspection of child-related amenities. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times.
5. There is no daily housekeeping service. While the house has been thoroughly cleaned prior to your arrival and linens and bath towels are included, daily maid service is not included in the rate.
6. Pets are not permitted; any pet being "snuck" into the house will result in a minimum $300 cleaning fee. Service animals are welcome, but per ADA laws, they must never be left behind unattended. ESAs do not qualify as a Service animal and must be registered as a pet.
7. Cleaning fees are paid to assure Guest's arrival to a clean property, not to clean up post-checkout "messes." While we don't ask or expect Guests to clean prior to leaving, we do expect reasonable cleanliness standards followed - garbage thrown away, spills cleaned up, etc. Cleaning required due to excess messiness will result in additional costs, charged at a rate of $40/hour.
8. Guest understands that they are staying in a neighborhood. We expect Guests to respect our neighborhood and our neighbors' right to peaceful enjoyment of their homes. If Hosts receive a valid complaint from a neighbor, Guest will be notified. Failure to rectify the issue may result in cancellation of the stay.

Visiting family
If you are not familiar with landscape of Pittsburgh you can be taken back by hills, and driving in streets, how houses are close in proximity. Parking is not a quarantine to be in front of house.We were pleased with house, it served purpose as to visit family. Contact with property manager was wonderful and responded timely.

100% Recommend
Every year we pick a new city to stay in and bring our daughter to a different zoo and museum. This year we chose Pittsburgh. This house fit exactly what we needed. The host was so accommodating to our needs and they were on top of all communications and check-in/check-out procedures. They also had everything you would need if you forgot or ran out of something. Very accommodating for people with small children. Would recommend this host to anyone.

Cute little house centrally located to everything we wanted!
The house was cute, clean and check in was quick and easy. Had everything that was listed and was what we expected and needed. Everything we visited (zoo, museum, boat tour, strip district) was less than a 15 minute drive. Parking was always available when we got back to the house. My daughter loved the kid friendly attic. Overall, exactly as advertised, exactly want we wanted and great location!

Home Away From Home
I booked this home to visit our two first-year students at Carnegie Mellon University last October. The house was very nice, clean, and well-kept. The highlight of the house is the beautiful piano in the living room. We are a musical family, so we played it all the time. The neighborhood is quiet, and the host was very responsive and provided every amenity we could ask for. I'm sad I waited too late to book the property for the CMU carnival in April. It was the first property I looked up, but as expected, some other lucky family booked the date first. If you are looking for a clean, well-kept, and perfect property to stay in while in Pittsburgh, look no further
