Comfortable accommodations for an extended family group in a very unique house. Great kitchen and dining set up. Well supplied. Our family enjoyed the accommodations as much as we did being together!

The house is great! Spacious, comfortable, clean and well equipped. We enjoyed our visit for Thanksgiving and the Steeler game. We would definitely rent this house again.

This is a beautiful property with character and well-kept. Very large, can easily accommodate a large group. Owners excellent communication. Interesting neighborhood, big dog-friendly, walkable to cafes, restaurants, grocers, pharmacies, some other shops, and some entertainment (we saw music on the lawn, bowling and video arcade, bus tours, music at Hofbrauhaus, make your own art venues).

The rental was better than expected and a true surprise. Love the attention to details and the really quick response when one of the windows did not retract. Our family was in Pittsburgh for a wedding and we had a great time being together. I doubt we would have found the trip as enjoyable had we stayed in separate hotel rooms.

This was our annual sibling get-together and the house was perfect, with plenty of room for everyone. We enjoyed spending time at the wonderful dining table, talking, reminiscing, playing games and making plans. We walked to restaurants which are numerous and varied. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. It was easy to communicate with our host if we needed anything.
