I was weary to book because of some of the other reviews, however it was a great place to stay! It was such a cute and cozy little place! It was also very clean when we got there! You definitely get your moneys worth and more. Will for sure be back next time I’m in town!

It was the perfect crash pad. Me and my buddy’s chose this spot because of its proximity to Pittsburgh and the NFL draft. The apartment was clean, and was just enough space for all our needs. Plus it was close to the Waterfront which had restaurants and shopping if we needed anything. If I was taking a group back to that area again I would book this spot again.

Our host, Holly, was great with communication and answered all questions in a timely manner. The “Crash Pad” was as advertised, a space to land in between activities.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
The location is ideal. It is walking distance from shops, restaurants, the river bike and walking trail. There was a playground across the street. The place was not clean. There was dust, trash under the beds and dressers. Some of the bedding had stains on it. I would not recommend this. My asthma was exacerbated by something in there. I had to lesve.

Clean, great for the price

The property was clean, the communication with the manager was fast. It wasn't very sound proof and I could hear the tenants below pretty clearly but was an easy resting place after my conference.

2/10 Terrible

Roman

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
The apartment is in a clearly uninhabitable and unsanitary condition. Upon entering, there is an immediate and persistent sewage odor coming from the bathroom, suggesting underlying plumbing issues. This is reinforced by a note attached to the showerhead indicating known piping issues, raising concerns about both hygiene and functionality. The unit has not been properly cleaned. There is visible debris on the bed, indicating that linens were not changed or the space was not prepared for a new guest. The bathtub is also dirty, with residue and buildup that make it unsuitable for use. The windows are so heavily coated with grime that they are effectively opaque, making it difficult to see outside and contributing to the overall sense of neglect. In addition, the apartment is excessively hot and uncomfortable. The thermostat is not working and the air conditioning is not functioning. I have texted the host regarding these issues and have received no response. The temperature inside the unit has reached approximately 87 degrees, making the space feel like a sauna and not reasonably livable. Overall, the condition of the apartment falls well below basic standards of cleanliness, maintenance, and habitability expected for a short-term rental.
