House was perfect for our family reunion. The kids enjoyed the hot tub and the outdoor seating area was great for relaxing and catching up. The game room was fun for the kids too! It’s great to have plenty of parking and South Side lots of great food options when we didn’t feel like cooking. But we had wonderful breakfasts that were easily made with the fully stocked kitchen. The street is a little tricky, but we found it was easier to go up Kosclusko Street and some down Eleanor Street to make the right into the driveway. We’ll certainly look at staying here again!

The home was perfect! 8 of us fit comfortably in the 4 bedrooms, with 4 cars parked comfortably in the drive way. The outdoor area is super cute, and the space was very clean. Blankets and an abundance of towels were provided. Navigating checking in and out was very easy logistically! The only area of improvement is the sink water/shower water ran cold to slightly warm. This was most noticeable in the 2nd floor bathroom, which made for some uncomfortable showers. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and Norma was a great host!

The property was exactly as advertised. Clean and spacious, hot tub was wonderful and all outdoor seating so comfortable. Kitchen had some cooking supplies leftover, so we didn't need to bring everything. Norma's communication was immediately within minutes. With the problem of the other VRBO property, we were able to check in early, which was so appreciated!! We didn't use the game room, but there were several games to play for all ages. We had a wonderful stay and maybe when we are back in town, we will book again!! Thank you Norma!!

This was a great place for a group of colleagues to hang out before and after our conference sessions across the river. The narrow steep streets were a little challenging, but we enjoyed plenty of parking space right next to the house. We loved the upper patio and ended most days soaking in the hot tub. We even visited the hidden, well stocked game room.

Cozy and comfortable great location

We were in for the weekend for UPitt graduation and wanted a place to stay for family including grandparents. Place was perfect, very clean and well furnished. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked. House is walking distance to many restaurants and bars but far enough away to be quiet. Norma was a great communicator- we had a fantastic time.

Our party consisted of three seniors, three adults, and three children ranging in ages from 4 to 9 years old… This property was perfect for our needs!

Perfect for our adult family.

Was a bit concerned when we first pulled up to the property with the surrounding area but immediately felt safe and secure as we entered the property. The sleeping accommodations for our family of 8 adults perfectly. The kitchen was well supplied since we like to cook a big breakfast before beginning our daily adventure. The short walk to Carson street with so many restaurants, bars and shopping choices was a pleasant surprise. Would definitely stay here again!
