This house was the perfect location. We have family on the East, North, and South end of Pittsburgh so every where we went was easy to get too. The house and accommodation was perfect. We was able to communicate with the host without any delays. Great views and shopping is very close.

The house was comfortable and clean. The location was great. Quiet residential neighborhood but easy access to a lot of Pittsburgh's sites. All the basics were well provided for and everything was nice and clean. Beautiful deck out back overlooking view of Pittsburgh.
We had a seamless arrival and departure. Happy to have parking, major bonus. The house was clean, and comfortable. Cory was a responsive host for questions.

Rachel,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted that you had a smooth arrival and departure and that you appreciated the parking and the comfort of the house. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’re glad you found the communication with me helpful. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!

The house was old with all the nuances of an old home. Well kept and beds were comfortable. It was nice to have 2 bathrooms with 5 adults. Just a note that the downstairs toilet is really tight to the wall. Showers were nice with plenty of hot water. Dining room was nice with a large table to fit everyone. Corey was awesome with communication and making sure our stay was going well.

Thank you, Keith, for your thoughtful review! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the home comfortable. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back for another great experience!
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.

Thank you for the great review! I am thrilled that you had decided to extend your trip. It was a pleasure hosting you. We'd love to welcome you back any time!
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!
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!

This is a disappointing review from Steve. I went over and above for him as a guest. I answered multiple phone calls pertaining to check in, places to go and see and if his group should rent a car or an uber. I even tried to get him Pirate tickets. We allowed his group of 5 to check in well ahead of the 4pm check in time.
Our pictures clearly state "lower level bath" and laundry, and it is not our intent to be non transparent about this. We have also adjusted the limit on the number of guests at the property.
Our property has received nothing but 5 star reviews on this platform, and we maintain a 4.84 average with 68 reviews on other platforms.
Our goal is to provide great accommodation and service to you as a guest, please consider this review an outlier and not the norm.
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
