An absolute gem tucked into the hills of Mt Washington! Cozy, roomy, well kept and convenient to everything. Host was kind, responsive and accommodating. My family loved it and would stay there again for sure!
The garage and extra parking space was very helpful. Everything was clean, well maintained, as described. The location was close to the incline and Shiloh shops. Communication was great. Check in easy. Would recommend!
Great location at top of the Monongahela Incline on Mt Washington. Clean and spacious but only 1 bathroom on 2nd floor. Was perfect for us as a couple but sharing may be issue for others. Plenty of parking and garage access. Nice deck. Great bars and breakfast places 5-minute walk. Prerfect place for a weekend in Pittsburgh.
Great property. Exactly as described & depicted. Very nicely appointed. We had everything we needed & more. Loved that we had a garage & plenty of room. Communication was excellent. Can’t recommend it more! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
We stayed for the Easter Weekend with our daughter and our two dogs. My daughter enjoyed the third floor bedroom layout. The place was well located to downtown Pittsburgh. It was a short 10-15 minute drive into town. The parking was definitely a bonus.
Visiting from out of state- and I was impressed with this listing. Loved that I was able to bring my fur babies, while having a side yard for them to use the restroom.So many bars and restaurants within walking distance, absolutely loved that. Clean and spacious home. Definitely loved the Duquesne incline!
Everything was perfect and as described! Enjoyed our stay very much! Just as an fyi roads up there super narrow but there was snow… luckily the driveway and garage was perfect.

Hi Meighan, we are glad you enjoyed your stay and that everything was perfect, except the width of the Mt Washington roads. If there is anything we can do to make the place a 5 instead of 4, please let us know. Thanks and best wishes to you.
Host was great and the house was very clean. Parking can be hard if it snows but besides that i really enjoyed my stay. Can’t wait to book again, by far one of my favorite rentals i’ve ever had.
We enjoyed our stay at this house. It was very neat, clean, well-kept, and had everything that we needed. Did not encounter any issues, everything was as advertised. This location is also close to many great attractions, including the stadium, and good food.Would stay here again, and recommend! Thanks!
Great location with easy access to Carson Street. Surrounding neighborhood had great dining options and the area was quiet. Amazing views just a couple of blocks away. Transaction with host was super smooth and I will definitely consider staying here again in the future.
Easy to find, easy to park, easy to enter. Big, Big house for it being a Townhouse (1 shared wall). As advertised, we liked it. Thoughtful things like having some USB/C outlets. Decor is a little dated but this would be a great “base of operations” for visiting families or workers. Not one but 2 grocery stores only one block in each direction. Great family owned old school pizza place about 200’ away.
Great location and clean organized space for a first time staying on Mt Washington after many trips to Pitt… will def stay here again when if available!
Perfect house and location, house is clean and has everything you need. Plenty of room and all beds are very comfortable. Plus a garage for vehicle. Has restaurants and bars and grocery all with walking distance. Love staying here on our Steelers weekend!
Property worked well for our family of three and was as advertised - clean, off-street parking. It was a quiet neighborhood for an urban location. Bakery, store, and restaurants within walking distance.
Pittsburgh native, owner of The Gaskell Retreat located on Mt Washington. I love the neighborhood so much and its access to everything Pittsburgh, so I also call Mt. Washington home with my own place a stone's throw away. I enjoy being a host and renting from other hosts, too.
Why they chose this property
This townhome is the ultimate location for Pittsburgh visitors, in a vibrant neighborhood with everything close by, and not to mention a few-minutes-walk from the most famous overlook views of downtown and the Pittsburgh Inclines.
What makes this property unique
You will not need a car to travel almost anywhere within the downtown area (with the incline leading to a trolley station at the bottom). The townhome also has a garage and off-street parking to keep your vehicle(s) well-kept.
