About the host
Hosted by Derek Martindale
We’re Derek and Amanda, both registered nurses with a background in anesthesia and Air Force flight nursing. We love hospitality, travel, and creating peaceful spaces for others to enjoy. Years in both military and medical service have shaped our attention to detail and care for people. We enjoy exploring new cities, hiking, and visiting our kids across the country. Hosting allows us to share our love for comfort, cleanliness, and connection with every guest who stays in our home.
Why they chose this property
We love the Oakland area because it’s the heart of Pittsburgh — full of life, learning, and culture. From the property, you can walk to Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, the Carnegie Museums, and Phipps Conservatory. Schenley Park’s trails, cafés, and skyline views are just a few blocks away. It’s close to everything — Downtown, Shadyside, and the North Shore — yet the tree-lined streets make it feel calm and residential.
What makes this property unique
Our home combines the charm of a classic Pittsburgh townhouse with the comfort and space of a modern retreat. With six bedrooms and four full bathrooms, it’s ideal for families, university visitors, or groups who want to stay together under one roof. The location is unbeatable — walkable to universities, museums, and parks, yet peaceful for relaxing after a busy day. Each room is thoughtfully furnished with quality linens, a well-equipped kitchen, and cozy gathering spaces that make guests feel at home the moment they arrive.
