We had a great one-night stay! We did encounter a small issue with the cold water when we arrived, but the host was incredibly responsive. They replied to our message immediately and sent someone over right away to fix it. We really appreciated the quick communication and top-notch service!

Very clean, nicely furnished, just needs some finish work but I wish her great success! She really thought of everything you might need during your stay. Only issues was there was no sleeper sofa as stated, 1 person had sleep on a sofa and walking up steep stairs to bedrooms without a handrail was challenging especially for me, a 70yo. I’d fix that or state in listing.

Communication with host was excellent. The property looks like it's in the middle of some work, which left some unfinished appearances (outlet covers, spackling/paint, things like that). It was left very clean by the clean up crew.Biggest drawback was the temperature. Bedrooms are small which led to the bed being right against a window, and with the air conditioner still installed, the cold air came seeping through the cracks all night long. Also, when we woke up and checked the thermostat, the temp downstairs was 56 degrees. Made for an uncomfortable night's sleep. Having not gotten back to the property until after 1am from the Steelers game, we never thought to check the thermostat before crashing into bed.

Budget-friendly place to stay if looking to be in Pittsburgh and not pay the Pittsburgh prices. I would have like to have seen railing on the stairs between floors. The stairs are narrow and a few of the lights were out in the stairway which meant we just had to be a little more careful coming down to use the restroom in the middle of the night! It fit our pupose of coming to town for a concert. Thanks!
