Great stay for a girls’ weekend

We really enjoyed our stay at Corey’s house. There were four of us and we had plenty of room. We enjoyed the tiered deck, as well as the dining room and comfortable living room. Beds were very comfy. Grateful for off-street parking. Fairly close in proximity to the overlook with gorgeous views of the city … it was a quick and convenient Uber ride. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Graduation Visit

The property has an old world charm and up to date renovations. It was exactly what our family needed for this visit! Very charming! Corey was extremely helpful with communications and worked out 2 little glitches the same day! Very attentive to our needs. Great place to stay with the off road parking. The street did have moderate thru traffic even at 230am you could hear a motorcycle or truck passing by, but I would stay again for its close proximity getting downtown or to Mount Washington quickly. Loved it!

Great location

This home is in a great location for exploring many areas of the city. We were just a short drive away from PNC Park, Heinz Field the Duquesne Incline, and the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History. It was a nice, quiet neighborhood, and the house was clean and comfortable with lots of old Pittsburgh charm. We loved the stained glass windows and all of the beautiful woodwork. Thank you for hosting us!

Very Nice

It was a very nice and clean house to stay. The host was easy to get a hold of. The location of the house was close to everything we wanted to do on our vacation. The only issue that we did was with the bathroom in the basement. The toilet is in an awkward position and made it difficult to use for my family members. Other than that small issue, my family and I enjoyed the house

Comfortable place to return to from the city.

Comfortable place to return to from the city. We rented this house to be close to our friends who live in Pittsburgh and it was very easy to get to and a peaceful neighborhood to stay in. Especially for the small children we had along. The beds were comfy and the house was so lovely. We were close to the lookout’s over the city and would go out at night to look at the lights. We enjoyed our stay very much.
