It’s not easy to find four bedrooms with four bathrooms with showers in the city of Pittsburgh especially one that doesn’t have a lot of steps and a first floor bathroom suite. That made it so easy for our family vacation. The house was very clean and very well appointed it had everything we could’ve wanted and it was an incredible location and we absolutely had no problem with parking. We will stay there again when we come to Pittsburgh.A

The inside of this home and all of the amenities provided were truly spectacular. We weren’t even there for 24 hours and wish we could’ve stayed longer and utilized it more. If this is the area of Pittsburgh, you need to be in I would highly recommend this home or if you also have a large group it’s perfect for that. Derek was wonderful. Especially love the artwork and the homage to the locale.

First off, let me start off by saying the owner was great!!!! Great communication all around. From the time we booked, until the time we checked out they answer all of the question we had. Now to the place. It is beautiful! This home had everything we needed while we dealt with the emotional toll of dropping our son off for his first year of college. Not just the basics either, I am talking kitchen utensils, bedding, towels. You name it, they hand it and it didn't come from Dollar General either. They had a Keurig but also FRESH COFFEE BEANS. They spared no expense. This place is within 25 minutes of everything that Pittsburgh has to offer. The only thing that could be better is the parking. This is a public street that people will park on during the day to go to work. We had 2 vehicles and only one time did we get there and not have anywhere to park. Oh yeah, but the awesome owner has worked with a neighbor to use a side of his driveway if needed for that exact situation. But that was only one time all week. Last I want to talk about the internet. Fast gaming speed internet. You could work remotely while here and not miss a beat. I was actually gaming with no delays or packet loss. That doesn't happen as often when traveling. If you made it this far, book it, you won't regret it.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review and for sharing your experience so generously! It truly means a lot to us. We’ve put a lot of care into the home, so I really appreciate you noticing the little details. I’m especially glad you enjoyed the coffee! I’m a big coffee person myself, so I like keeping a nice selection on hand and make a point of cleaning out the canisters and keeping both the ground coffee and whole beans fresh. Thank you as well for your understanding with the parking. Pittsburgh parking can definitely be a bear sometimes, so I really appreciate your patience with it. We truly appreciate you choosing our home, and we’d love to have you back anytime you’re in town visiting!

About the host

Hosted by Derek Martindale

Host profile image
We’re Derek and Amanda, both registered nurses with a background in anesthesia and Air Force flight nursing. We love hospitality, travel, and creating peaceful spaces for others to enjoy. Years in both military and medical service have shaped our attention to detail and care for people. We enjoy exploring new cities, hiking, and visiting our kids across the country. Hosting allows us to share our love for comfort, cleanliness, and connection with every guest who stays in our home.

Why they chose this property

We love the Oakland area because it’s the heart of Pittsburgh — full of life, learning, and culture. From the property, you can walk to Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, the Carnegie Museums, and Phipps Conservatory. Schenley Park’s trails, cafés, and skyline views are just a few blocks away. It’s close to everything — Downtown, Shadyside, and the North Shore — yet the tree-lined streets make it feel calm and residential.

What makes this property unique

Our home combines the charm of a classic Pittsburgh townhouse with the comfort and space of a modern retreat. With six bedrooms and four full bathrooms, it’s ideal for families, university visitors, or groups who want to stay together under one roof. The location is unbeatable — walkable to universities, museums, and parks, yet peaceful for relaxing after a busy day. Each room is thoughtfully furnished with quality linens, a well-equipped kitchen, and cozy gathering spaces that make guests feel at home the moment they arrive.
