The home is part of a newer housing development located in the historic but revitalized Lower Hill neighborhood.
Avoid the highways and sneak your way around traffic. PPG Arena is walking distance, and many desirable dining and sight-seeing spots are quick trips by car or Uber. The Oakland neighborhood (home of Pitt, Carnegie Melon, museums, and UPMC) is just 10 minutes away on side streets.
Also nearby (10 minute drive) is the lively and walkable Strip Disctrict, with many dining options, The Heinz History Museum and the David E. Lawrence Convention Center.
The August Wilson House and events center is less than 5 minutes away on foot.
PPG Arena is walking distance for those who wish to avoid traffic and parking costs, but there is a fairly steep climb on the way back.

Thank you so much for the great review! We're glad that you enjoyed the home and its location! We hope you'll feel inclined to stay with us again on your next visit!
This was the perfect place for our family to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation. We enjoyed the ease of local restaurants and activities while having the comforts of a wonderful home.
We were in town for the PPGP and Andrew’s house was exactly what we needed for a place to stay. He was very communicative and helpful. Check in and check out was super easy. Everything was clean and comfortable. Very please!

Thank you Chelsea! We really appreciate your kind words! It’s wonderful to hear that the home’s comfort, cleanliness, and ease of check-in/out met your needs. We’d be delighted to welcome you back in the future.
The property was very clean and centered around a lot of things to do. Every location we visited was just minutes away. It was very easy to communicate with the owner and he was very responsive.
Our property manager, Andrew, was especially kind, responsive and had everything we needed ready to make this a comfortable stay for our family (AND 2 dogs)!

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! It's great that your family (and furry friends!) had everything needed for an enjoyable stay. We appreciate your kind words, and we hope to host you and your family again in the future!
We had a great time in Pittsburgh for the last week. Two Steelers games, which we walked to, and multiple ventures into downtown. We will definitely recommend this place and looking forward to staying here in the future.

Very clean property. Excellent communication from owner. Everything in the home is in perfect working order. Great location for walking to PPG arena for games/events. Close walk to downtown and strip district. One of the best VRBO properties we’ve stayed in.

Thank you for your lovely review, Julie! We truly appreciate your kind words and are delighted to hear that your stay was one of the best VRBO experiences. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
Very thoughtfully equipped house in a really convenient neighborhood. We were able to make a full Christmas dinner including cookies. Beautiful view of downtown PuttsbughWe saw 8 deer about 4 blocks from the house.
My family and I had a very comfortable stay. The location is great, parking ample and we loved being able to walk to PPG Paints. The house was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. My teens and preteen loved the TVs in the upstairs rooms and ability to spread out while we were hanging out. Pictures online are very accurate and the view is incredible. The property management was very easy to communicate with and helpful. Highly recommend!

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the entire property. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to host you again in the future!
From the moment we booked our stay, Andrew was right on top of communication. The whole process check in to check out was seamless. We were only there for the weekend, but we absolutely had everything we needed. Well stocked kitchen. The rooms and bathrooms were all clean. Plenty of seating for watching TV or having dinner at the dining room table. We brought our two dogs with us and had the right amount of space for their crates. Fantastic host!

Thank you for the lovely review, Megan! We’d love to welcome you back anytime you’re in town!
We loved the house's location as we could walk to and from the PPG Arena hockey games. The location was also convenient to visit other area attractions. It was wonderful to have a parking spot/garage so we did not have to stress about finding street parking.
The house was in lovely condition -- just like the photos online. The necessary supplies were stocked and some nice "extras" like coffee pods, too.
Everything went very well and we enjoyed every bit of our stay.

We can't thank you enough for your kind words, Carrie! We're glad everything went smoothly and that you enjoyed every moment of your stay. We hope to welcome you back again in the future!
We were a group of six cousins in town for the National Senior Games and had a grand time at Andrew’s house. It’s perfectly located and set up well for groups. The extra full bathroom downstairs made it so much more comfortable and convenient for all of us. The beds are so comfortable, the house is well stocked and the neighborhood was lovely for evening strolls. We enjoyed barbecuing on the deck and sitting on the front porch in the afternoons. The neighbors were friendly and fun to talk with-
We liked being able to stroll to the August Wilson house and backyard theater. All in all a lovely stay and highly recommend for any trip to Pittsburgh.

Thank you Roy! Glad everyone enjoyed themselves! Come back and see us again!
This house is truly a hidden gem. It was clean, well appointed (including items for small children like a high chair and kid's plates and cups) and situated on a very quiet street. Parking includes a garage and a driveway which was very convenient. Location was slightly tricky in that there isn't much to walk to. Unless you're attending an event at PPG Paints Arena or visiting the August Wilson House, everything else, like groceries, requires a car. None of it was so inconvenient that this was any kind of issue though. Especially given how quiet the place was at night. We were in town for Parents Weekend at Pitt and it was literally an 8 to 10 minute drive to Soldiers and Sailors garage at a fraction of the price of closer VRBOs and hotels. Our kids were thrilled to hang out in the house while they did laundry and ate home-cooked food. It was pretty perfect. Added bonus, the basement bathroom was fantastic. Really enjoyed being able to listen to music through the speakers in the light while in there!

Thank you so much, Matt, for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay and found the home comfortable, quiet, and well-equipped — especially for traveling with kids. We’re glad the location worked well for your Pitt Parents Weekend visit and that you appreciated the extra touches like the garage parking and the basement bathroom speakers! You were a fantastic guest, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime you’re in Pittsburgh.
A family trip to share memories of living in Pittsburgh in 1960's
We were with 6 adults. The home is spacious, very quiet, has good family gathering space and a well equipped kitchen. Good beds. The location of the home is close to many areas and it gives a wonderful impression of the mountainous terrain on which Pittsburgh has been build. Due to the slopes of the streets,walking from the home was a bit of a challenge for some of us. We were pleased with the quick responses of the owner to questions. Thank you.
