Place was great and clean, a lot of stairs so pack light. Was a football weekend (Monday Night Football) so a complaint would be super small T.V. and only basic local channels no cable. Both bed matresses were like rocks but this place was a 5 out 5 overall. I would go back.

Stay was Okay

I will preface this review with the fact that I am a local and rented this property while my husband worked on renovations in our home. The owners seem nice and attentive, the place seemed clean (other than the mold in the bath tub). I would just like to warn anyone with children or any women staying alone that this area is TERRIBLE. There are plenty of places to rent outside of the city that are a close drive to anywhere you might be heading. Please do some research and keep yourself safe.

Savannah never reached out once during her stay to let me know that she had any issues so this review is a little shocking. We have had this home listed for many years and that would not be the case if this home was in a terrible area. We have never had a single issue here in all of our years so I am not sure what she is referring to. Also, solo, families and women travelers stay here ALL OF THE TIME. So please, read all other reviews before listening to this one.

Weekend in PA

First, Jenna was great and accommodated an early check in for us. The place inside looks exactly as pictured and was clean. What you don’t get from the listing is that this is part of a duplex and can get noisy with the neighbors above and below you. As well, this is a fairly run down part of the city and we had multiple drivers tell us how unsafe the neighborhood was. It was close to many things by car but a bit outside the actual city. We appreciate Jenna’s accommodations a lot but think a more accurate depiction of area would be best. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Also, there was no cable as listed.

Thank you for your honest feedback. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during check-in and for any cleanliness issues you encountered. That is not the standard we strive to uphold, and I regret that we fell short during your stay. We have since addressed the check-in process to ensure guests receive all necessary information in advance, and we are working with our cleaning team to maintain the highest level of cleanliness throughout the property. I appreciate your insights and will use them to improve future stays. If you would be open to giving us another chance, I’d love the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience. Jenna

Awesome Trip to Pittsburgh!

My company had some work in Pittsburgh and we opted to stay at Jenna's rental. She was a fantastic host and had a great property. She was responsive, communicated all the check-in / out details clearly, and gave us everything that we needed. Would highly recommend staying here!

Quick weekend in Pittsburg

Simple property but easy for a weekend away. Parking on street was easy and access to downtown is 10 min drive away. Not really walkable but drive was easy and parking not that horrible. Good spot to op in and out of the city

Reasonable place

The rental was clean, pretty good appearance. The neighborhood was a little intimidating but had no issues!! It was just all guys there for sporting event so weren't there long. Host was great to work with. Only downfall was the hills and steps but that seems like the norm for Pittsburgh. #here we go Steelers #Yinzer for life

3 night stay for college move in

Property is close to everything and has everything you need in terms of kitchen items. It had good on street parking. It was clean and felt comfortable at the apartment.Although the street is fairly quiet, a few of the nights , it was loud next door and got woken in the middle of the night as the walls are fairly thin. There were 5 of us staying the first night and 4 after that. Only suggestion I have is to change the shower curtain liner and we could have used a few more blankets and bed pillows.

Quiet neighborhood, close to everything!

My family had a great week in this rental. Owner answered every few minute drive to just about every attraction in the city. I would recommend the owners mention the amount of steps. Over all a great place for the money. I will recommend this listing to friends and family!

STAY AWAY if you’re allergic to mold!!

Mold, mold, mold! My wife is allergic to mold and she couldn’t breath after just 10 minutes in the place. I asked about a refund since we had to find another place to stay, but the host said she couldn’t cancel or give us a refund because of how VRBO works; called VRBO and it wasn’t true. Found a great place for less at the Heinz Lofts; great location, secured parking, friendly staff, and NO MOLD! One and only time using VRBO - never again!

Response from VrboOwner on 23 Mar 2020
Unfortunately this guest was very upset that my strict cancelation policy didn’t allow for a refund at the last minute. He threatened me that if I didn’t give him a refund he’d write a bad review so this was expected. Our home has zero mold and up until his review every guest has given 5/5 stars. I truly believe he never even came to my home because my outside motion detectors never even went off. This was all a made up story to get me to refund him so instead of giving in I took a chance and hoped he wouldn’t be that malicious. I have 8 properties total and always go above and beyond to please every single guest. I keep every place spotless and stay on top of all maintenance. I would NEVER allow a home to have mold or anything that would cause guests to not be 100% satisfied with their stay.

The location provided easy access to the rest of town and we never felt that there was any pressure from anywhere to detract from our stay. We received a message during our stay to check on us. Overall it provided a pleasant stay on our trip.

Clean, comfortable and near downtown Pittsburgh.

This second floor property was extremely clean and comfortable. About a 10 minute drive from Southside, Mt. Washington and 15 from the center of downtown. Plenty of street parking. You will need to drive to just about anything you need though. Borders an area that seems fairly devoid of shopping/dining options. The host was super easy to communicate with.
