Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We would like to clarify for future guests that our property is accurately represented in the listing. There is no steep winding road required to access the property. The home is reached via normal neighborhood roads. The only incline is the driveway leading to the garage, and guests who prefer not to use the garage are welcome to park in the flat parking area at the top of the driveway. We strive to provide clear and accurate information so guests can determine whether our home is the right fit for their needs, including those with mobility considerations.

Excellent Stay in Pittsburgh

We had a lovely time at this townhouse when we visited Pittsburgh. Easy access to everything we wanted to see and plenty of room for our family to spread out and recharge. Highly recommended!

We needed a place with a garage on our way to college drop-off, so this location on our route fit the bill. Nice, updated decor in an older property. Quiet street, great directions to get here and get in - a big relief after a long day of driving!

We loved our stay! The house was very clean and well maintained. It is in town but still had a private feel, especially the lovely deck out the back overlooking the woods. The weather was lovely and we spent a lot of time sitting there. We even saw a deer and wild turkey! I also appreciated the well stocked kitchen making it easy to cook a meal. Bianca was an excellent host and even kindly sent me an item that was accidentally left behind.We would definitely recommend this place!

Great location

We went for the USGA Senior Women’s Open at Fox Chapel and the location was great for that. Also did lots of touring around the area…nothing was more than 30 minutes away. Clean, comfortable unit. Nice to have garage considering all the rain.

Great place

All was excellent. And as described. The driveway is a steep hill so could be problematic if icy and it is a duplex so sometimes can hear sounds from next door but neither was a problem for our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The house was clean and cozy. The living room was a comfortable spot to hang around. The little eating area was perfect for the 4 of us. There were plenty of coffee options to take advantage of in the kitchen! The rooms were comfortable and spacious. We visited Acrisure stadium via the ferry for the football games and were only about 15 minutes away. We were also about 15 minutes away from the Whole Foods. No trouble with noise from the neighboring duplex. A perfect getaway in a nice area of Pittsburgh!

Check in was super easy and, for us, the location was perfect for a family wedding. It also offered easy access to downtown (The Strip District is a must see). Although cosmetically, this home could use a little work, it was clean & very comfortable and offered lots of nice, natural light. So many things were included that aren't always in rentals but that are very much appreciated - plenty of towels, t-paper, throw blankets, pillows, coffee & coffee maker choices (single serve & auto drip), even a nice supply of Q-tips & cotton balls! It's those types of touches that make a stay so much easier & more comfortable.Although the outdoor furniture could use an update, it was lovely to sit outside in the morning w our coffee and enjoy the privacy provided by the trees.Spacious & comfortable living room w a great TV and comfortable beds. And it was helpful having a garage for the car.One thing of note, the main floor bathroom does not have an outlet, so it made it difficult for more than one person to dry their hair etc...Overall, it was a great stay!
