Bill:
A 5 Star Experience
We were in Pittsburgh primarily for a Steelers game, but also to re-visit our old stomping grounds in Allison Park (north suburb), where we lived years ago when I started my engineering career with USS corp. There were 5 of us in total, all family. Renting a home in Mt Washington was not even on the radar initially, our plan was a hotel downtown, but no go when the Steelers are playing at home. To say we are glad we did would be a huge understatement. It added so much to the experience. The house is in a great location, a very short walk to Grandview Ave and spectacular views overlooking the city. About 0.4 miles to the Duquesne Incline (albeit very hilly) and a little longer walk to the Monongahela incline, but still doable. The house is an a very old neighborhood, typical for many areas in and around Pittsburgh, however the interior has been completely updated and is very lovely and comfortable. A few highlights: 1. Communication with Nicole was superb. She was ultra timely, professional and very thorough, as good as it gets in our experience. 2. Furnishings and supplies in the house were well thought out from a renter's perspective, including things like spices, coffee, paper towels, toilet tissue, hand and bath towels, bedding, and plenty of pillows on the beds and in the living room. 4. Check out was simple and straightforward. A final note. Mt. Washington is extremely hilly, almost crazy hilly. But don't let that deter you, the location is the best.

Blue Haven
Property was exactly as advertised. We had a great stay just outside of the down town area. A short drive/uber ride away from the heart of the city. Nicole was a gracious host, easy to get ahold of, and offered great recommendations.

House was very cleanly with easy to use AC and heat. Nice kitchen and appliances with plenty of other amenities. Bedrooms were comfortable, spacious and clean. Great updated bathroom with plenty of hot water. Communication with the host was efficient. Only negative comments would be house is on top of a tricky hill to navigate, and is a shared level apt. Host was great Easy check in and check out.

Great location for downtown fun.
The location of the place is perfect for plans centering around downtown. The place is newly renovated in an older neighborhood. Parking is challenge in the area but there is a parking pad at the back door. The beds were super comfy and helped us get a good night’s sleep. The host was super easy to communicate with and also was proactive to let us know the AC was being worked on before we arrived. Everything was fixed and we were able to enjoy our week.

Fourth of July Fun
The apartment was perfect for us! It had 3 spacious bedrooms with plenty of closet and dresser space. The kitchen had all modern conveniences. We cooked several times and had all the utensils, bowls, pots and pans you could ask for. The bathroom was spacious and loved that all rooms were on the same level. It was perfect for my handicapped mother in law to get around with her walker. The back entrance was just two steps to get to the unit. The apartment was very clean and fresh looking. We brought our dog and found there were dog bowls and a dog bed if we wanted for him. Felt very safe taking our pup for walks in the neighborhood. Nicole was very responsive when we had an issue with the AC. Turned out to be a circuit breaker issue that was quickly fixed. We definitely would rent this apartment again!!
