Very nice 2 bedroom loft. We had 5 adults stay and had plenty of room. Owner met with us and went through the loft. He also left us some food and drinks!I would recommend this property and Ben is super nice.
Our host was amazing. The refrigerator was stocked with still and sparkling water, cream for the coffee and there were unopened boxes of donuts, cookies and cereal as well as bagels and cream cheese!! He came over the first afternoon to show us how to adjust the thermostat and explain how the hot water worked. I have never felt so welcome at a VRBO before.

Thank you so much Robert! Hope to see you again some day.
Ben was a fantastic host, meeting us at the property when we arrived in order to provide us with a tour of the space, and responding promptly to any questions we had during our stay. The property itself was both clean and spacious, and the location made for an easy walk to the Strip District, the 2 stadiums, and Downtown. We really enjoyed our visit and would gladly stay here again the next time we're in town!
We came to Pittsburgh to see a baseball game. The location was perfect as it was only a little more than a mile to walk to the baseball stadium. We could walk to the strip, where there was good eateries and shops. to get around via Uber was no big dealThe owner was fantastic. We were personally checked in. We always appreciate when there’s coffee and tea available for our first morning. Know that this is a very eclectic property, but has everything you need.
Great location and condo. Walked to Steelers game and Pirates game. Strip District is even closer. Owner was very responsive and had the place stocked like no VRBO I ever stayed in (Milk, Donughts, fresh bread, coffee, bottled water and lots more).
We came for an event at the convention center. This location was perfect for us. Ben provided a good supply of breakfast items and gave us some bread from a local bakery. He met us to let us in and show us around. There was good communication throughout the whole process. The loft was spacious and well supplied. We were very happy with our stay.
We came for a Steelers game and this place was very open and well equipped for a family to stay. Lots of sleeping options (2 bedrooms and 2 futons in common area) with a wonderfully equipped kitchen. Ben was wonderful and provided breakfast food, coffee and even frozen pizza if you need a little something! We walked to The Strip which is shopping and restaurants and walked back from the game. Its in the city so there is always a chance to run into interesting people but we always felt safe. We would come back for sure!

Theresa was the kind of guest we always hope for. Excellent communication and took great care of the place. Absolutely welcome back anytime!
Owner met us at check in, showed us around and explained the property. He answered all of our questions and gave us info on the area. Property was nicely updated and supplied with most of the basics (eggs, milk pop, juice etc) . Bars and restaurants close by. Property had all the blankets, towels, sheets etc that we needed. The garage was nice to have. Would stay here again.
We (2 parents, 3 kids) stayed over a long weekend in Pittsburgh as first time visitors, and were delighted with our accomodations at Ben's beautiful and airy property.
Super cool property that is converted warehouse space from a long gone department store. We were mostly out and about but the place was great to come back to. Ben was a phenomenal host, really above and beyond. We had a later than intended arrival (~11pm on Fri) but Ben was waiting to greet us and orient us to the place and surroundings. He had also very generously stocked the place with a start up array of groceries and a loaf of the most incredible artisanal bread, all of which was HUGE bonus the next morning.
Your mileage may vary [literally] but we found the location to be the perfect jumping off point - we only used our car once when we had to make a buzzer-beating dash to get late dinner. Other than that, we walked everywhere: Heinz History Center, Fort Pitt Museum, Duquesne Incline, PNC stadium.
Because we had a relatively short stay, we didn't avail ourselves of everything the apartment had to offer (there's a washer/dryer, dishwasher, and every cooking appliance you can imagine - none of which we used). There are great views of the city (over the freeway) from one bedroom and the livingroom.
We're city savvy and had no concerns about the surrounding area. One recommendation - if morning light bothers you, bring a sleep mask. We didn't, but that was great for getting us up and out for our stay.
great view and easy access to the highway. My friends loved the entry way to be surprised by how nice apt. was.. I would stay there again, close to sports venues and the strip district....comfy and cozy..!!!!

Fantastic weekend at the Urban Loft in Pittsburgh
Ben was a fantastic host throughout our stay. He communicated well throughout our weekend, worked with us logistically to store our luggage prior to the check in time, and gave great recommendations on things to do / places to see. The loft is located in a great location, within a 20 minute walk of downtown, Heinz Field, the Strip District, etc. The four of us stayed very comfortably and there was still room for many more. If we ever return to the Pittsburgh area, this would be the place we would stay.

Cozy, quaint, colorful, and accommodating
Our hosts were very nice and accommodating! Loved chatting when we arrived. The location was comfortable, cozy, colorful, and felt like I could live there. We rented 2 separate places in that neighborhood as a group for a conference and everyone was happy. I enjoyed walking over the bridge and the city view. I highly recommend Eva & Ben!
