The house was like it was described in the listing. It was very spacious for our family of 5. When we arrived, all the upstairs windows were open, making the house very cold since it was in the 40s. Directions on how to set the heat would be helpful. There were about 4-5 modes to choose from on the thermostat controllers. Overall, it was a good experience. The host, Janet, was very easy to work with and responsive to my questions.

Awesome

Excellent property and location. Had a problem getting into the property and the host was immediately helpful. It was completely my fault. There was a power outage because of an accident down the street. Host did everything she could. It would have been perfect if all the windows had screens and there were flashlights at the ready. That is my only recommendation going forward!

A great property!

We had a wonderful stay. The house was in pristine condition when we checked in, the beds were very comfortable, and the house was nicely decorated. There was plenty of space and everything we needed for supplies in the kitchen and plenty of clean towels, which were a nice touch! Parking was easy to find, and the house has a nice little yard area. Janet was very friendly and the check in and check out processes were a breeze! I tend to have high standards with where I stay, and this property definitely exceeded those. I would definitely book this house for a future stay in Pittsburgh. Thanks Janet!!

Pictures are old and filtered. They do not properly represent the property. The house smelled moldy/musty upon arrival. We bombed it with most of a can of lysol. The house immediately failed expectations. However we were choosing to make the best of it. Even after the neighbor (it's a duplex, you share a wall and porch) stood in her doorway and stared at us. We smiled and waved/said hello. We were returned with a blank peering stare and no response. We trudeged on. None of this was going to ruin our vacation....right? It makes for a funny story to remember....right? UNTIL we saw roaches. NOPE, NOT OK. THEN we lost power! One of our guest had a medical device requiring power. We spent most of day 2 of a 3 day trip scrambling to find an acceptable place to stay. The host was non responsive. The neighborhood is sketchy. Then had to spend extra money due to new accommodations. Currently requesting a full refund. Save your money and your vacation...do not book here!

Super clean, very comfortable, and great location

The place was the perfect size for my group of friends. It was an easy location to have as our homebase as we explored. Pittsburgh and I especially enjoyed getting up early and climbing up to the Garfield community garden at the top of the hill. Everything was just as described, and it’s a place I would definitely recommend to others looking for a comfortable space to enjoy Pittsburgh from

Nice getaway

We were in town for the Taylor Swift concert and had a nice stay at Janet's place. The house was spacious and comfortable. The only con I would say is that the area was not very walkable.

We ended up coming to town during the Marathon weekend. It was not ideal since we wanted to get to the strip but it was not feasible for getting out of town. We enjoyed the VRBO we chose, quiet neighborhood and easy to get around.

Great house and location!

Some friends and I had a great stay here. The location is perfect to get to Highland Park/East Liberty/Shadyside or over the hill to Lawrenceville. The house was clean and we enjoyed using the kitchen to cook some meals. We will definitely stay here again when in town to visit family.

The best parts about this stay are the very comfortable beds (although they might be a bit tight for 2 sleepers), quality AC units in bedrooms, beautiful decor, easy-to-use security system, Netflix in the living room, and we never had an issue parking outside. I am happy we stayed here.

Felt like home

We had such a wonderful stay at Janet’s place. The proximity to Whole Foods, restaurants, Target, Trader Joe’s was invaluable while we had to move our son into school. Fully stocked with fresh and clean linens and towels, washer and dryer, detergent, toaster, dishwasher, gas stove, microwave and coffee makers - we did not miss a thing. We had a few warm days but we never even used the window A/C downstairs - she has two bedrooms upstairs with window A/C units which came in handy a few nights. Five stars all around! Thank you Janet!

Nice house

We stayed for a month with two small kids. The garden and patio were nice to play. The house was comfy and Janet was quick to help us with questions and needs we had. We do think the pictures are a little flattering, the house does have neighbors and is not very big. At the time of our stay the third bedroom was not equipped for a long stay, with an old couch and lack of a fan. She did tell us she worked on our feedback.

About the host

Hosted by Janet Clodfelter

I married a man from this area years ago. We visited here most holidays and very summer. Tiring of intruding homes of relatives ...we finally have a place of our own!

Why they chose this property

I truly love going to the Strip District. Some weeks I go 3-4 times! It is like a carnival in some respects. Italian grocers yelling about cheese, outdoor merchants selling Steeler Nation merchandise, beautiful and delicious pastries, best coffee ever and an occasional sax player on the street . You can buy everything you need for a delicious meal to prepare in our kitchen.
It takes around 10 minutes to drive to the Strip from our house.

What makes this property unique

Comfortable beds, total black out window shades, split units for climate control, hand held shower device, recliner for watching TV or resting in the living room and most kitchen amenities that you may desire. We also have a large covered front porch and four ball park chairs if you want to sit outside.
