Pirates vs brewers

The house was beautiful and very clean. There was plenty of sitting room for all 6 of us. The kitchen was small, only one person at a time could go in there but we managed. Had plenty of dishes. One thing would have been nice to have was the cover for the pots. There was only one cover. I would have to say and the owner did apologize that the listing said a bathroom on the first floor. I did not count the basement as the first floor so you had to walk up 17 steep stairs to use the bathroom. If I had any complaints it was the bathroom and stairs. I’m old and can’t manage stairs. If there had been a bathroom on the main floor, I would not have had to climb the stairs. I did hurt my leg, not at the property and the hosts did provide a potty chair for me to use. The only problem was no way to shower. We checked out a day early because of the no showering for me. The host did offer reimbursement due to my injury, I did not want the entire stay reimbursed. I did ask for my last day to be refunded but have not heard back from them. Communication was good prior to our visit and during our stay but as soon as we left, communication went dry. We cleaned the house and the pet place where Zina stayed. The hosts even gave our grandkids a gift and they loved it. A very nice gesture. Overall a very nice place.

Nice first time stay in Pittsburgh!

From the time of booking to departure Scott's communication was quick and courteous. All the instructions for the stay were thorough. Scott checked to make sure we got in OK and checked on us throughout our stay.The house was clean, spacious and comfortable. All the added extras like toiletries in the bathrooms, coffee/tea, bottled waters, family board/card games were a nice touch. We were welcomed with a nice basket of local libations, as well as a present for our son and dog. The Pets-burgh area was nice and stocked with everything needed for our dogs stay. The location was perfect for a quick trip into the city for a concert and tons of local eateries and shops on Butler. We had a wonderful stay and would've enjoyed exploring more if we had time. I would DEFINITELY recommend Scott's place if visiting the area and would stay again if we ever return to the area.

Yinzers Getaway - Wonderful place and people

This, without any doubt, was the best place we've ever stsyed. Communication could not have been any better. The home clean, the amenities top rate and the beds as comfortable as home. The owner made our stay better than we ever could have asked for, especially considering the reason for our visit. As a Pittsburgh native, Ive been missing the friendliness and hospitality of home. Thank you for a fabulous stay. We will be back! Yiners fir life!

Excellent Family Holiday

Spending the holidays away from home can be hard but not at the Yinzers Getaway. The house was beautifully decorated, very clean, nice kitchen, and beautiful dining room for Christmas dinner. Perfect for families. Scott was a wonderful host, very responsive and full of useful information. Highly recommended

Girlfriend get together

The three-story house was very cozy and clean. The kitchen was well equipped, the living room was comfortable for us to sit around and talk, and the beds were very comfortable. We did not have any pets so we could not take advantage of the pet facilities in the basement. But for anyone with a cat, it would be ideal down there.
