Strengths:
Space- Great rate for the space. We had 6 people, so beds for all on 2nd & 3rd floors plus a shared spaces on main level. Clean 1/2 bath on 1st floor plus nice full bath on 2nd.
Proximity to Pittsburgh- While the neighborhood has a mix of well-maintained homes and rough-looking properties, it’s 10 minutes from downtown. A big plus for our adventurous crew.
Communication: quick and clear responses
Could be better:
Exterior- some clutter (mops and brooms) and trash in the back yard and near the rear entrance made an uneasy first impression.
Basic Maintenance Needed- multiple household items in disrepair (dishwasher sprayer broken, stove dial not working, toilet seat loose, bed leg broken on 3rd floor queen, closet doors missing or not attached, etc.)
Cleanliness and little touches- coffee and grounds still in coffee maker, pans in cupboard damp and dirty, and overall appearance a bit rough. Limited chairs at large dining table. Lighting options mostly overhead lights without lamps. Sparse decorations.
Lacking Supplies- limited dishes, towels and dishcloths, no washcloths, and not enough pillows with just pillowcases (rather than pillowshams that are not likely laundered as often).
Overall, we valued our stay here, but this property is a bit sparse and has a better potential with more attention to details.
Thanks for the stay!
