Excellent, well-maintained property close to Carnegie Mellon University. My family and I visited Pittsburgh for our son’s graduation and stayed at this property for two days. The host was super responsive and courteously agreed to allow an early check-in for us, since we arrived in Pittsburgh on a red-eye flight from California. The home was very clean and well stocked with the required amenities. The area we stayed in was very quiet and calm. We enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend for stays in Pittsburgh.

This house was perfect for our family's visit to University of Pittsburgh. The house was as described in the listing, it was great to have a parking spot, and the check-in/check-out instructions were clear and timely. The location is good with close proximity to Pitt, and even though the surrounding neighborhood is more mixed, we felt comfortable during our stay.This house worked perfectly for our family that includes a teenage son and teenage daughter (who did not want to share a room or bed), and we would stay here again if our daughter decides to attend Pitt.

The house was lovely, true to description, for the most part. An IMPORTANT detail that was not disclosed, was that the neighborhood does not feel safe. Boarded up houses etc. definitely not walkable, especially at night. We were disappointed greatly by this.We ended up spending the first night in a Hotel, and would do so for the second night as well, if not for the fact that all hotels around the campus were sold out, due to parents weekend. We therefore spent the second night in this location we rented. This- clearly, was an added major expense to our trip.A couple of details that we would recommend the owners to change/ update in addition: the single bed doesn't have a real mattress- just a thin sponge (matress topper) on a box spring. The other 2 beds are good. There are no warm blankets on the beds, which is tricky for Pitt weather. There was a box of throw blankets in a basket in the living room that we used. The shade in the main bedroom is missing pieces- maybe a new one is needed. Theres no floor vent in the twin bedroom, just a while in the floor, covered by an empty snack can...The place overall is cute and we wish we can give it a hight rating, but due to all the above, we are giving it 3 stars.

Thank you for your review and for choosing our home. We're sorry you did not feel safe in the home or the surrounding areas. We would have appreciated that you shared these concerns with us during your stay because in a public review it leaves us with our hands tied since we were unaware of your concerns during your stay. With that said, we have owned the home for close to five years now and a three of those years our son lived in the basement as a student at CMU and that entire time we've been on VRBO. We've never had a single issue with security and do offer tenants an alarm code to use during their stay. The twin (small) mattress is a dorm style mattress that we switch out periodically but we appreciate the comment about it being thinned out. We will be sure to replace that. The blankets we also switch in the fall so that they are available to tenants during the winter. We would have had our cleaning team get them for you if you would have let us know. Please do accept our apology and we hope that future tenants know that we accommodate an assist as much as we can when guests communicate.

The bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and the living and dining rooms were well appointed and newly done up. We appreciated all the kitchen supplies. We were able to have our dog, and were able to explore the neighborhood on our walks. The surroundings are alas, down and out, with boarded up homes. However, the location provides easy access to the Strip district and Downtown. Seeing the herd of deer every morning, and often in the evening, was a part of our daily highlight.

Family

The house is very roomy, clean, and very well supplied (toiletries, kitchen staples, paper products, etc.) Our only issue was the upstairs bedrooms were too warm and, while we were okay about parking on only the left side of the driveway, the hedge was overgrown and scratched the vehicle and made it impossible to get in and out of the car without moving it.

Short Weekend Stay

When we booked in May, there was no indication that there was a tenant below and that we would not have access to the backyard. We could hear the TV through the door and it was awkward to have the owners son on the property. We would have preferred to have more privacy. It also felt unsafe to have only one exit on the main floor in case of an emergency. Otherwise the place was comfortable for our needs.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Sept 2023
Thank you for your review. The tenant disclaimer is explained in the property description and has been included in the description since we listed the property. We also explain in the property description that access to the backyard is only extended to guests who have booked the property for more than 30 days.

As advertised

Three of us from various parts of the US met here to visit Pittsburgh and catch a few baseball games. The location is under 2 miles to downtown or the strip...we would walk to where we were going in the morning, then take a Lyft home ($10 to $20 typical, depending on the demand at the time). Beds were comfortable, owners were responsive to questions and easy to work with. Not a lot of shops/restaurants in the immediate area. But if you like hole in the wall diners, I would highly recommend breakfast at Grandma B's just a few blocks away....they will make you feel like a local while you eat a lovely american style breakfast...

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
While relatively clean, this property is not well kept. The pool/hot tub and backyard would take weeks to clean up. There were numerous spider webs throughout the house and within minutes of being in one of the bedrooms, we had to kill a spider. The towels were very poor quality and there is no dishwasher. The neighborhood does not look safe, many run down or fully abandoned buildings all around but we did not have any actual safety concerns. Compared to the other places we've stayed in Pittsburgh this was the lowest quality for the highest price. I've also never had to pay for insurance on a property and this was an additional 90 at check out. While there are parts of the house that were touched up (new backsplash in kitchen, nice appliances), it is obvious this house needs a lot more work and it's kind of falling apart but it was attempted to make the house generally look nice. Although not concerning to me, there is someone that lives in the basement of this house that can get to and from the house with a keypad to the basement. It's just good to know in case someone isn't used to that. I would not stay here again and would not recommend others if you're used to a nicer look.

Thank you for staying with us and for your review. We're sorry to hear you did not have a pleasant experience. Devastating to read considering these concerns, specifically the spiders, and we really wish you would have reached out during your stay so we would have had the opportunity to assist you. The tenant downstairs is no longer living on the property and has not been there for a year as the tenant was our college aged son who has since graduated. The insurance is through VRBO and it's something we've had to implement because of guests who've booked our home for parties and have destroyed the property. The backyard pool and hot tub were not made available to guests unless booking for 30 days so we can fix it up. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about the surrounding properties that are vacant. The neighborhood is in the middle of a revamp but the immediate neighbors are mostly original neighbors. Our son lived there for three years and never had any issues. Again, thank you for your review.

Great home close to the city

First- the host was amazing. Very responsive and helpful. The listing was exactly as described. Second- location close to the city and easy to maneuver around either by our own vehicle or Uber. There were no issues with the neighborhood- it was very quiet. Third- and I think really important- it’s hard to find a reasonably priced rental in Pittsburgh with two full bathrooms. This home also had upgraded appliances. I would recommend this home 1000%! THANK YOU FOR A GREAT EXPERIENCE!
