The Space:
The George Washington is a spacious one-bedroom with outdoor terrace and separate entrance. Recently renovated/decorated and a very comfortable, relaxed environment. It is a third story walk up at the top of Mt. Washington providing with nice views from the windows as you look over the entire eastern part of the city toward CMU/Shadyside/etc.

The George Washington is professionally cleaned after each guest's visit and stocked with fresh linens, coffee, tea, cooking essentials and a fully stocked kitchen. There is free wifi, a smart TV to connect to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon or your cable subscription. The apartments are on the 3rd floor of a walk-up building.

Baby gate, pack & play and highchair available upon request.

Guest Access:
Guests have unfettered access to the apartment through the common building stairwell. There is a common terrace off of the back of the apartment with a patio setup which is an enjoyable place to have lunch during the day, or relax with a cocktail during the evening. Keyless entry (unique ID access pad) makes coming and going easy.

The Neighborhood:
Mt. Washington is an old-school Italian neighborhood, well kept, very authentic, great gelato available in summer time, mix of both nice bars/restaurants that are a little bit touristy (those on Grandview Ave), and old neighborhood favorites where you can hear locals debate the best way from dahntahn back up to Mt. Warshington (yes, the true Pittsburgh accent is still very much alive - remember, Pittsburgh has been called both the "Paris of Appalachia" due to it being the cultural capital of the area and the "Galapagos Islands of linguistics" because trust me, yinz've never heard anything like the local dialect). Every Saturday night (around midnight - 3AM), Pittsburgh's Swing City offers public swing dancing and great music on the Grandview lookout in front of St. Mary of the Mount!

Getting Around:
One short block from Monongahela Incline (image search online, it is VERY unique to Pittsburgh). Can ride the incline down to Station Square T stop (Pittsburgh's subway system) and are a couple of stops from the ballparks or PPG Paints Arena (or on foot it's a very pleasant 20 minute walk across downtown with two bridges providing EPIC photo ops of the city and the stadiums). Uber and Lyft also work great from this location.

Other Things to Note:
It's a great apartment, great location and within a building with a great history (over 100 years old, the building used to be an Italian Social Club and boarding house). Easy access to Station Square, down-town Pittsburgh, David Lawrence Convention Center and even the fields (Heinz Stadium, PNC Park, Consol Energy Center) are a ~20 minute walk or a couple of stops on the T (Pittsburgh's subway system) from Station Square.

Interaction with Guests:
I live close by, so I am available to provide assistance as needed - restaurant recommendations, things to do, etc. but the apartment is fully self-contained for the privacy of guests.
