Last minute booking as my Mother-in-law was not discharged from the hospital when expected. It was really amazing to find this place as it was close to the hospital and had a fenced in backyard for our dog. As we'd been stuck in Pittsburgh for medical reasons, he had to be on a leash most of our 'visit'. So, he loved being able to run around in the backyard leash free. The host was very communicative, and she truly cares about you enjoying your stay and enjoying the city. There are printed instructions inside the house for the house rules, trip/activity suggestions, and for any and all house quirks (strange light switch locates, etc.). She contacted us the night before and the morning of check-in with thoughtful insights including directions incase we weren't familiar/comfortable with driving in hilly areas and provided a weather outlook for the day as temperatures in the area can have a wide range. Generally speaking, we arent too far from Pittsburgh, so we were familiar with both of these things (30 degree temperature swing in one day is not uncommon in the region), but it was an incredibly nice and thoughtful gesture, especially if you have never experienced that kind of environment.
