The entire house is accessible except for 2 supply closets.

I'm committed to doing whatever I can to make your stay the best it can be. I absolutely love this city and would be delighted to share with you some of my favorite restaurants, museums, parks or attractions. I respect your privacy and will communicate as little or as much as you wish.

The home is part of a newer housing development located in the historic but revitalized Lower Hill neighborhood.

Avoid the highways and sneak your way around traffic. PPG Arena is walking distance, and many desirable dining and sight-seeing spots are quick trips by car or Uber. The Oakland neighborhood (home of Pitt, Carnegie Melon, museums, and UPMC) is just 10 minutes away on side streets.

Also nearby (10 minute drive) is the lively and walkable Strip Disctrict, with many dining options, The Heinz History Museum and the David E. Lawrence Convention Center.

The August Wilson House and events center is less than 5 minutes away on foot.

PPG Arena is walking distance for those who wish to avoid traffic and parking costs, but there is a fairly steep climb on the way back.

If you don't want to drive, we recommend using Lyft/Uber from this location.
Please treat our house with the same respect as you would your own home. We’ve put a lot of effort into making this into a lovely space to be enjoyed by our guests.

NO PARTIES, WEDDINGS, OR EVENTS

By booking, the guest agrees to a security deposit hold on their method of payment by their booking platform. It will be released shortly after check-out if all rules are honored. It is the booking guest’s responsibility to make sure ALL registered guests in the group honor all House Rules, as the release of the hold is based on that.
