Football getaway
We came for the Steeler’s Christmas Day game and found this home very welcoming and comfortable. It was an easy 25 minute walk to the stadium. We had all the comforts of home to have a holiday dinner after the game, and felt very safe in the neighborhood. Chad was extremely attentive to my many questions prior to our stay! Very easy check in and check out! We wojuld definitely stay here again!

Fantastic place and location
The location is great to walk to/from the ballparks. East Ohio Street has lots just 5 min away. Strip district and downtown are 8-10 min drive. Parking is really easy. The place was stocked with everything you need. I enjoyed the coffee grinder. The owners were very easy to get hold of (if needed) and check in/out was easy. I would recommend this place for long weekends or a week or so visit to Pittsburgh.

We love this place!
We recently stayed here for almost 2 weeks - and it was great! The location is perfect: close to sports facilities, downtown, McKnight Road, etc. The private parking is terrific and we really enjoyed sitting outside on the patio in the evenings. Kitchen is huge, beautiful and well stocked (with cookware, dishes and supplies that we actually used}. e Walked to a few really outstanding restaurants on East Ohio Street and it was less than a 10 minute walk to a gym that I used repeatedly (well set up and inexpensive for a week guest pass). We loved staying at this place and hope that it is available when we next visit family in Pittsburgh!

Wonderful home
I came into town to see a slew of dear friends. Some are my very best friends and others I haven’t seen in person in 25 years. Being able to have the space to have people come over and visit and just enjoy time and catch up was wonderful.
The kitchen is absolutely fantastic. I cooked a full Italian meal for a group of us one night and I had more than enough space to get everything done and serve family style.
The bedrooms are comfortable and the living room and dining room space was great! The outside patio was perfect for getting some fresh air and chit chatting.
It’s an old Pittsburgh home so there’s no sneaking up the stairs, (very creaky) but it added to the charm. Lol!
Overall it was a wonderful trip and I would definitely stay here again.
