Bill:
A 5 Star Experience
We were in Pittsburgh primarily for a Steelers game, but also to re-visit our old stomping grounds in Allison Park (north suburb), where we lived years ago when I started my engineering career with USS corp. There were 5 of us in total, all family. Renting a home in Mt Washington was not even on the radar initially, our plan was a hotel downtown, but no go when the Steelers are playing at home. To say we are glad we did would be a huge understatement. It added so much to the experience. The house is in a great location, a very short walk to Grandview Ave and spectacular views overlooking the city. About 0.4 miles to the Duquesne Incline (albeit very hilly) and a little longer walk to the Monongahela incline, but still doable. The house is an a very old neighborhood, typical for many areas in and around Pittsburgh, however the interior has been completely updated and is very lovely and comfortable. A few highlights: 1. Communication with Nicole was superb. She was ultra timely, professional and very thorough, as good as it gets in our experience. 2. Furnishings and supplies in the house were well thought out from a renter's perspective, including things like spices, coffee, paper towels, toilet tissue, hand and bath towels, bedding, and plenty of pillows on the beds and in the living room. 4. Check out was simple and straightforward. A final note. Mt. Washington is extremely hilly, almost crazy hilly. But don't let that deter you, the location is the best.

Blue Haven
Property was exactly as advertised. We had a great stay just outside of the down town area. A short drive/uber ride away from the heart of the city. Nicole was a gracious host, easy to get ahold of, and offered great recommendations.

About the host
Hosted by Nicole Chonko

I'm Nicole Chonko, and Berlin, Pennsylvania is where I'm from. I like to go skiing, ice skating, horseback riding, hiking, biking, and hang out with my loved ones. I adore meeting new people and providing the best hospitality to guests, which is why I love being a host.
Why they chose this property
The home is located in Mount Washington. Mount Washington is renowned for offering breathtaking views of the river and city skyline. Furthermore, Mount Washington is only a short drive from Pittsburgh's downtown and conveniently close to a wide range of well-known restaurants, shops, and bars. Additionally, there are numerous parks and playgrounds in the area. I love that the house is situated in a quiet safe neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
The Blue Haven is completely remodeled with brand new appliances. Visitors take pleasure in the free coffee that is supplied with creamer and sugar! There are kid-friendly packets of hot cocoa available as well. Two cozy modern couches make the open living area ideal for gatherings with friends or family to unwind. The Blue Haven features 3 bedrooms with comfortable sizable beds (2 queens and 1 king) and luxury bedding. Kid-friendly toys and a pack-and play are all neatly stored in the closet. It also features dressers for storing clothes and space for hanging clothes. In addition to the kid-friendly features, this home is also pet-friendly. A dog bed, leash, waste disposal bags, and dog dishes are all provided for pet owners. The backyard space is a great place for dogs to do their business or kids to play while parents relax on the patio. Additionally, this apartment is one-level and has a private rear entrance.
