Directions were simple to understand and the property was uncomplicated. Everything was clean and spacious for our family of four (and then some). Slept great with the additional a/c in the master and fan. Location was great; close enough to downtown without being right in the thick of it. Checkout instructions were also simple. I did not need to reach out to host for any issues so I can’t speak to responsiveness there.
We brought a group of 7 family members. The house accommodated everyone well. It was clean and had nice updates with modern appliances. Johnny responded well to communication. There were a few basic supplies we could have used more of such as more silverware, cooking oil or spray, a second oven mitt and storage containers or plastic wrap. We could have used some extra towels such as for the kitchen. Overall we had a wonderful time!
Very clean and comfortable, nicely renovated property. Host very responsive. Stairs a little steep if you have anyone with mobility issues. Convenient to Acrisure Stadium - we drove down and parked halfway to avoid steep hill and then walked about 10-15 minutes. Would recommend!

Everything was perfect. There was a little glitch on the first day, so we couldn't get in at the usual time. The host worked with us and everything worked out. We would definitely stay there again.

Thank you so much, Veronica! I’m glad the house was exactly what you expected and that the location worked well for your trip to PNC Park. I appreciate your kind words about communication. You were a wonderful guest, and we’d be happy to host you again anytime!
The property was clean and generally well maintained inside. There were several issues during our stay that should be addressed.There was no toaster, very few paper towels, and no dish towels. The downstairs bathroom did not have a hand towel. In one upstairs room with multiple beds, some of the pillows did not have pillowcases. Only one towel was given to each guess and in total 1 wash cloth. The upstairs toilet did not flush properly. We had to remove the tank lid and manually pull the lever each time it was used.The grass in the yard was quite high, making it difficult to access and use the patio area. There was also no dining room table, which would have been helpful.The property is within walking distance of some areas during daylight, which was convenient. Overall, addressing these maintenance and basic amenity issues would improve the stay.
Nicely renovated home and fairly close proximity to PNC Park and Acrisure Stadium.We had a couple minor things, but nothing that affected our stay. We'd definitely stay again.
Check in was very easy. Loved how the door locked and unlocked. The house was very beautiful and loved everything in the house. A.C. was awesome. Loved the fire pit and grill. Was a amazing time and will definitely be back.

It means a lot to know the space helped make your time memorable, and we’d absolutely love to host you again anytime!

Host was great with communication and answered my questions quickly. House was extremely cold when we arrived (heat was off and quickly came to temp once we turned it on) and dishwasher wasn’t in working condition, otherwise, it was great for what we needed it for!

Thank you so much for staying with us and for your feedback! We do keep the A/C turned down between guests to help conserve energy, and we always encourage guests to turn it on as soon as they arrive — the system heats up quickly once it’s activated.
Regarding the dishwasher, thank you for mentioning it. It has been repaired several times but continues to malfunction, and we are currently in the process of replacing it. I apologize for the inconvenience this caused during your stay.
We appreciate you choosing our home and hope to welcome you back for an even better experience next time!
The stay was wonderful but there were some issues. The washing machine and dishwasher were both broken and the house is slanted, you could put a ball on the ground and it would roll to the door, but for the price I think it was about right. All in all a good stay!

Thank you so much for staying with us and for sharing your feedback! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed your stay overall. I apologize for the inconvenience with the appliances. The washing machine has since been repaired, and the dishwasher has been an ongoing issue — a brand-new unit has already been purchased and is being installed.
Regarding the slight slant in the home, it’s part of the original structure and does not affect safety, but we understand it can be noticeable.
We truly appreciate your honesty and are grateful you chose our home. We hope to welcome you back for an even smoother stay in the future!
We stayed here for Family Weekend at Pitt. Great location away from the craziness of campus but not too far to be inconvenient to pop back over. We even were able to walk to Acrisure Stadium at night for the game and felt completely safe walking backatmidnight. We

We’d love to welcome you back anytime you're visiting Pittsburgh again.

It was as advertised. The house was clean and ready for our stay. Our host was very good. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner. He was very helpful throughout the process of our stay.

Very spacious and modern property. Even though you are in the downtown area of Pittsburgh, this location offers a quiet neighborhood with easy access to so many highways and attractions. Everything worked well and as advertised. Comfortable beds and room for everyone to have their own space. The host was responsive communicated effectively. I would stay here again and would highly recommend this location.

We really appreciate your kind words and are happy you felt well taken care of. Thanks for being a great guest. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

The house was the perfect size for our group of 7, kids and adults. We stayed for 2 weeks and loved the location! Note, that the house is on a very steep hill, we brought our bikes and did brave the hill a few times but there is also a park at the bottom of the hill that we drove down to and started our bike ride from there. The beds were very comfortable and the third floor AC was a very nice touch as we were there during some hot days and the whole house stayed cool. My 7 year old also appreciates the toys! Johnny was very responsive and check in/out was a breeze!

Thank you so much for staying with us and for such a thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear the home was a great fit for your group and that you enjoyed the location. The hill is definitely steep, but we’re glad you found the nearby park and bike path helpful.
It’s wonderful to hear that the beds were comfortable and that the third-floor AC kept everyone cool during the hot days. I’m also so happy your 7-year-old enjoyed the toys — we love making the space family-friendly.
Thank you again for the kind words about communication and check-in. It was a pleasure hosting your family, and we’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
The house was perfect for our group of six. The location and size of the house was exactly what we needed. There were two minor issues with cleaniness but I will send the owner a private message. complaint was the garbage. Wharrived
