Andi was an excellent host. She left personalized welcome messages for us in the house and checked in with us often to ensure we were having the best possible experience. The house is filled with Andi's artwork and other eclectic furnishings, which gives the place a very cool vibe. It's a perfect location for a campus visit to CMU. Highly recommended!

Pittsburgh Volleyball Tournament

We enjoyed our stay at this house. It is nicely located not far from downtown and the convention center. We walked to the botanical gardens and Carnegie Mellon is close by. The back area with a hot tub was much appreciated after a long day of volleyball. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable.

From start to finish everything went smoothly. Andi was wonderful!! Always responded quickly to my questions. The house is beautiful with the kitchen well stocked with appliances, spices, coffee makers, coffee grinder! All the bedrooms are in the 2nd and 3rd floors of the house - for a person with mobility issues it may be a problem. My father in law who is 90 did not have any problem going up the steps. We came for a family wedding at Phipps and this place was convenient. But there is a lot of construction in Pittsburgh so it took longer to move around in the city.

Great location for our UPitt Graduation.

Andi was a great, accommodating host. The house had everything we needed and then some. It was equipped well with comforts in furnishings, appliances, layout, products, and safety. Every detail was covered for our time celebrating our UPitt Grad. We will def keep this home in mind for future visits to Pitt.

Perfect Pittsburgh Location

My wife and her brother and I really enjoyed staying in this house. I'm a Pittsburgh native who now lives in North Carolina and comes back regularly to visit my brother. This house is the best location for that (he lives just a few minutes away). But it's great in other ways as well. It's extremely comfortable, and the property manager is extremely responsive (she lives next door) We had my brother and his wife for dinner and also went to a Pirates game and to the Andy Warhol museum (which is marvelous). We only had three people in a house that could hold 12, but we loved our stay. I highly recommend this property.

CMU visit and Steelers Game with Family

We are originally from Pittsburgh and wanted to do a family trip to visit my nephew from the Westcoast, who is attending CMU along with attending a Steelers game. I was looking for a location that could accommodate four adults and two teenagers comfortably and was close to CMU and Pittsburgh/Stadium. I found this lovely and charming place on Forbes Avenue that had four bedrooms with lots of baths with a great backyard for entertaining. There was a gas firepit for evening gatherings and eating smores. There is also a hot tub for use. We could walk to CMU for a campus visit, which was very convenient. The teenagers had the rooms for themselves on the third floor with privacy and we had rooms on the second floor. The first floor contained a spacious living room with fireplace and lots of eclectic art. There was a large dining room and kitchen. Downstairs were a washer and dryer for our use. The hosts were very responsive to our needs and were very welcoming. Overall, this home fit our needs very well and was terrific.

Fantastic house, great location!

Stayed here with several friends as part of a mini reunion, and it really became the centerpiece of the trip. We were able to gather and hang out comfortably, with easy access to CMU and Oakland. The house itself is awesome and much bigger that expected, with nice space separation for the guests. Andi is an excellent host and extremely personable. She was very proactive in making sure we were comfortable and set up for the weekend. This property would be top of the list for our next visit - highly recommended!

Spacious Home in Great Location

We were in Pittsburgh for a Steelers game. This property had everything we needed for our stay. Plenty of room for 8 adults, privacy and 2 separate outdoor spaces. The neighborhood was quiet with lots of walkers, joggers and runners out and about. The owner lives right next door and met us when we checked-in and checked with us throughout our stay. We loved our stay and would stay there again when our group is in town!

Perfect!

We had such a wonderful family visit in this home! We were completely comfortable here, and felt very fortunate to be able to walk to the CMU campus only two blocks away to be present at our older son's milestone presentation. Even though we only needed two of the many bedrooms, it was well worth the price to have a whole house for our family of four. We were able to enjoy cooking together in the pleasant kitchen, having family meals at the large dining table surrounded by the mood-lifting, really fun artwork created by our host, and sitting outside on both the back deck and the front porch. I would have loved to remain for a much longer stay. As a person with severe allergies, travel can be a challenge and I was completely impressed by the level of cleanliness in this home. There were no fragrances, just fresh air and the absence of allergens. As you can see from the photos, this is an old, very well maintained house with character. The beds are comfortable, there are plenty of blankets, the kitchen is well stocked, and the neighborhood is fantastic. Our host was available to give us advice, and even loaned us some of her own baking dishes. She was so welcoming and eager to ensure that we had a perfect stay.
