First, the pluses. This apt. is in an IDEAL location and close to almost everything. It's a very quick drive to PPG Paints Arena, the University of Pittsburgh campus, Schenley Park, Phipps Conservatory and the UPMC facilities in Oakland. You're also 10 minutes away from the Strip District, and maybe 15 minutes from downtown. Bed was comfortable, everything in the kitchen appeared to be in good condition and worked well. Host was easy to reach and responded quickly to inquiries via phone and the app.Drawbacks are minor but could be an issue for some. Water pressure in the shower wasn't great, and I found the shower floor was a bit slick when wet. Parking situation is a bit unusual. Street parking is free, but it's on a fairly narrow alley that could use repaving. I opted to pay for the garage across the alley which was fine, but navigating in and out was challenging, especially when someone was parked on the alley immediately outside the garage door. (I drive a MINI Cooper and it was still pretty tight to get in and out. Good luck if you're in a pickup or large SUV.) After hours access was via keypad and was easy enough to manage. Biggest problem for me was the air conditioning. The apartment was plenty cool and the AC works great, it's just incredibly LOUD when it kicks on. If you're a light sleeper, this could become a problem.
