The host was very responsive to what we needed and extremely clear about check-in and check-out. There were so many towels available, which was great for the six of us, and plenty of space for sleeping and for relaxing. There were also lots of amenities available in case we had forgotten anything, like a sewing kit, soap, games, dishes, coffee, razors, and more. Everything was smooth and exactly as I envisioned it. I would highly recommend staying here!

We enjoyed our stay here. The place was clean, comfortable and exactly as described. It's in a great location - close to downtown but still quiet and easy to get around. One of our favorite perks was the off-street parking.

The inside definately does not match the outside! Im told this is normal for Pittsburgh, lol! We LOVED our stay being so close to downtown. The pictures are absolutely accurate. Immaculate inside with ALL of the conveniences you would every need- fully stocked kitchen, dishwasher, front porch and back patio, with ample seating. Toiletries and towels. Extra comforters/linen, etc. - beds were very comfortable. While the vrbo management team through evolve was easy to book and work with, it was being able to communicate with the owner which made all the difference. If I find myself in Pittsburgh again I will definately book here. Btw, my 87 year old mother, who is very particular, says 2 thumbs up!

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
Overall okay, everything but communication was poor, great at first with the check in, but after asking why the WiFi was not working , radio silence. Someone(maybe a previous guest) smeared the last 3 digits of the password away. No word the next day or following the whole stay. Vrbo emailing me to review, is the last communication I got for this visit.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 May 2026
We are pleased to hear that you had a smooth check-in process and enjoyed the home. We apologize for the frustration regarding the WiFi, as we never want a technical issue to impact a stay. We take pride in being highly responsive and reached out multiple times during your visit; however, we did not receive any notification regarding internet troubles. Had we been made aware, we would have been more than happy to assist you immediately. We have since corrected the smeared password on the router to ensure the login credentials are clear for all future guests.

This is a great house for spending a long weekend in Pittsburgh! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The neighbors is safe and quiet. We met some of the neighbors and everyone was nice and were happy to give us recommendations. We would definitely stay here!

This was a perfect place to stay for our weekend trip! My cousin and I celebrated our birthdays by thrifting around Pittsburgh and seeing sights. It was a happy surprise that we were so close to Grandview Park and the incline. While we drinking coffee on the porch, we even had some deer pass by!

Great Stay!!

We stayed two nights for a concert and the place was perfect. Great spaces for sleeping and had many different items in the house that were essentials for staying the night! We had a large vehicle and parking was a little narrow but other than that it was a great place to stay.

About the host

Hosted by Julie McVicker

Host profile image
I’m born and raised in the area, and have been renting my properties for over 16 years now. This was my first home I purchased when I was young, so I’ve always kept special care of it, as it holds a special place in my heart! I love providing a very clean and cozy home, especially in the most unique part of the city! I think you will love this home just as much as I do!

Why they chose this property

Mt. Washington makes our city stand out amongst others. It sit above the city, with a one minute walk behind the house to the breathtaking city views in Grandview Park! This is the best place to stay when visiting, as you are very close to everything downtown, nestled inside a great community! The neighbors are wonderful, and always welcoming to my guests if they happen to see them! Close to the bus line and T and always available Uber close-by!

What makes this property unique

This very convenient and cozy location close to everything in the city!
