Urban Retreat with Garage on Mt. Washington

Centrally located on Mount Washington with easy access to all of Pittsburgh. Walk to restaurants & bars on Shiloh Street, a grocery store, and the Grandview Overlooks. Just steps from the Incline which connects to a trolley to downtown, the North Shore, stadiums, and casino. A perfect home base for exploring the city and seeing some of Pittsburgh's most popular attractions.

Inside the Home
Enter the front door, and walk into an open floor plan featuring a cozy living area with two large couches and a 65" wall-mounted TV. Soaring 9’ ceilings make the space feel even bigger. Dine at a table for four, set beneath an arc lamp and next to a window overlooking the side yard. The fully stocked modern kitchen includes everything you need to cook, plus a drip coffee maker with complimentary grounds.

Step out onto the back deck with two zero-gravity chairs, which are perfect for relaxing. Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious full bathroom with double sinks. You can access the bathroom from the main hallway or directly from the large king bedroom, which includes two long closets, a ceiling fan, and a luxurious bed.

The third floor has a bright, airy bedroom with two twin beds, skylight, ceiling fan, and a walk-in closet. The garage-level basement includes a new washer and dryer and offers another way to enter the home through the garage.

Featured Amenities
Board Games
A variety of games for all ages and group sizes in the living room.

Yard
A small grassy side yard offers a convenient spot for your pup to get some fresh air.

Outdoor Deck
Enjoy your morning coffee or late-night drinks with two comfy zero-gravity chairs and a table.

Coffee, Tea & Snacks
Drip coffee maker with complimentary grounds, a selection of teas, and light check-in snacks. Grocery store is just steps away for easy shopping.

Parking
Private garage for 1 car, plus 2 additional spaces in the driveway behind the garage.

Essentials Included
Bath towels, paper products, dishes, cookware, soap, shampoo, body wash, lotion, Q-tips, laundry supplies, and more.

What’s Not Included
Please bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste, and any personal items you’ll need.
We provide a Pack 'n Play-style crib, but no other baby gear (e.g., high chairs, gates). A dog gate is included, but it’s not designed for toddlers or staircase safety.

Guest Access
Enjoy three off-street parking spots: two in the driveway and one in the garage. The home is located in Mount Washington, a walkable and safe neighborhood with restaurants, bars, a bakery, coffee shop, ice cream parlor, and grocery store just steps away.

You're a 5-minute walk to the Grandview Overlooks and the Monongahela Incline, which connects to the trolley for easy rides into downtown and beyond. By car, it’s just 8–10 minutes to downtown Pittsburgh and the North Shore, home to Acrisure Stadium, PNC Park, the casino, and Carnegie Science Center.

You can check yourself in using the front door or garage keypad. I’ll send your access code a couple of days before your arrival.

Fees & Booking Reminders
If you see a “Guest Service Fee” in your total, that’s charged by the booking platform - not us. When reserving, please make sure to include the correct number of guests and dogs (limit 2).

We had a wonderful experience at this home. Everything about our stay was beyond expectations. We knew about Mt. Washington streets - part of the Pittsburgh experience! The setting could not have been more convenient. Excellent restaurants and views within walking distance! The host was very professional and communicative. We really appreciated the parking - garage access was definitely an amenity that we appreciated! Every room was exceptionally clean. We would definitely recommend this home. Be sure to check out the host's recommendations and comments in the folder. We followed recommendations and they were spot on!Many thanks to our host!

Everything was as described. I loved the off street parking. We had two cars so one in the garage and plenty of room for the second one outside in our own driveway. It was super close to the event we went to at station square. The beds were super comfortable, even the pull-out sofa was comfortable. We would definitely stay here again and recommend this place

The property was in a good location for us. We like to walk when we visit cities and this place was conveniently located between both funiculars which we used to get down to the city. The back porch was nice to sit on in the morning for coffee and the evening for cocktails. We were even visited by a couple of deer that took a rest in the wooded area next to the house. We really enjoyed our stay and thought Pittsburgh was a great city to visit.

Perfect location in Mt Washington

Rented this place for a weekend event at Duquesne University for its location and space for both of our kids. The place was spotless, comfortable, and had plenty of room for us to spread out. Location is easy walking distance to anything you could need, and the views of the city from the grandview overlook is amazing. We would not hesitate to rent here again.

Visiting MLB stadiums

The house was clean and well stocked. Guests should be aware that they will need to climb multiple sets of stairs, in case that’s a problem. Lots of things to do and see within driving distance or a short walk. We had a great time and would recommend this property if you’re visiting the Pittsburgh area!

Baseball game in PBurgh

We met our oldest and our daughter in law to take in a Mets vs Pirates game. This property was a great location for our weekend trip! Lots of fun bars/restaurants within walking distance. Easy walk to scenic overlook and the Monongahela incline making it easier to get into downtown Pittsburgh. The place was clean, well stocked and nicely decorated. There was plenty of room. Streets are steep and narrow but once parked we left our cars and walked everywhere. Easy communication with host. Great spot!

This property is very nice. The small streets are a bit challenging, but you adapt quickly. It’s a close walk to many restaurants and a grocery store, so driving really isn’t necessary for the basics. We will rent this property again.

My husband and I stayed here for a few nights in May 2025 in order to celebrate his 50th birthday and do several activities in downtown Pittsburgh. This house was clean, comfortable, and has groceries, pharmacy, restaurants and gas nearby within walking distance. All the other things we did were within 10-15 minutes drive so it was very easy and convenient. We liked having a garage to secure our vehicle and the house itself was very nice. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to come visit Pittsburgh.
