We came to Pittsburgh for a wedding and this house was the perfect place to stay. It was close to everywhere we needed to go, very clean and comfortable and the coffee bar area was amazing! Tom was a great host. He made sure we had everything we needed, gave us suggestions on local places to visit and eat and was just an all around friendly guy. We would definitely rent from Tom again!

Julia,Glad it worked for the wedding. Come again and thanks for your review!Tom
If you’re looking for a beautiful, comfortable, spotless home in a great Pittsburgh location at a great price, this is the place to book!From the moment we arrived, the owner went above and beyond. They called the morning of our arrival to make sure we had everything we needed and even offered to pick up anything we might want. I’ve never had a rental owner provide that level of personal attention.The house itself is fantastic—clean, beautifully updated, tastefully decorated, and incredibly comfortable. We were welcomed with fresh cookies and a fully stocked coffee bar, which was such a thoughtful touch.The memory foam mattresses were outstanding! I normally have trouble sleeping on unfamiliar beds, but everyone in our group slept incredibly well. We had six adults, and the three full bathrooms plus a main-floor half bath made the house perfect for our group. Every bedroom has a TV, plus another in the living room, and the large dining room gave us plenty of space to enjoy meals together.The location is excellent, too. There’s a pizzeria right at the corner, along with a fantastic Korean restaurant and one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever eaten at.This home has everything you could want: comfort, cleanliness, space, great amenities, a fantastic location, and an owner who truly cares about their guests.We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be renting this house again. I can’t wait to come back!Highly recommended—you won’t be disappointed!

Amazing family-friendly stay!
We were in Pittsburgh for a long weekend with my toddler and parents for a wedding, and this was the PERFECT place to stay. Tom was so welcoming and gave us great recommendations for where to eat within walking distance, and the house has everything you could possibly need. It was definitely a home away from home and we will definitely make this our go-to on our next trip to Pittsburgh.
We stayed here the week leading up to my wedding! Coming from out of town, we needed a place we could spread out and organize decorations before dropping off at the venue. The house was very spacious, clean, and was a great location for all the trips we had to make for last minue details. The host was very quick to answer our questions and accommodating of our needs. I would definitely recommend!!

Perfect Pittsburgh Reunion
Everything from the ample off street parking to the to the comfy beds and stocked coffee bar was perfect for a reunion in our old hometown. And with it being within a short walking distance to restaurants and a grocery store we had all the conveniences of home. I highly recommend this spacious and very clean home.
Exceptional property! Fantastic location. Wonderful communication with property manager. This property has everything you need and more. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Highly recommend.

Pittsburgh Paradise
What an amazing stay we had in Pittsburgh this past week! And what a delight we had staying at this rental and Tom as our host.The house has every detail imaginable, and was immaculate. Let me also point out its centralized location, just perfect to see the many things my hometown of Pittsburgh has to offer. Thank you Tom, it was better than I could have anticipated. I highly recommend this place as your next home away from home.

From the owner: "Donna. You are so kind to leave such a wonderful review and thanks for allowing us to accommodate you."
This is a wonderful house, with space for 10 and a gracious and thoughtful host. House was spotless, stocked with coffees and very comfortable. Guests must be okay with stairs!
If you want a great location for museums, restaurants and even parks/pool for kids, this is it. My family enjoyed their stay and we visited lots of nearby museums. Walkable area surrounds the house.
Enjoy! This house would also work for small work teams traveling together.

Perfect Getaway
Our group had a great time at Tom’s beautiful home in Pittsburgh. The place was clean and gorgeously decorated with a modern feeling. Communication was super easy and quick and everything looks exactly like it does in the pictures. There were many thoughtful touches and special amenities including the beautiful coffee bar, multiple charging stations, and bedside sound machines! The neighbourhood is quiet, safe and very conveniently located so you can walk to restaurants and shops. Would absolutely stay there again and I highly recommend this property!
