Good choice if you're looking for a bargain stay in a clean, decent place. As advertised. The neighborhood is actually outside the City of Pittsburgh. It is also not a good first impression of what has made the Burgh easily one of the best places to live and visit in the US. You won't find the vibrant neighborhood centers with restaurants, cafes, entertainment, crowds, well-groomed trails, gardens, and upbeat vibe. If this is your first stay in Pittsburgh ever or in ten years or more consider Lawrenceville or the North Side or Squirrel Hill. If, like me on this trip, you need a good bed and good deal, this is a choice I plan to make again.

This is a great space-- two big bedrooms, a living room and kitchen-- with great hosts. They are attuned to every detail and provide you with more than everything you need. The only thing to note is that if you are a light sleeper the trains rumbling past will definitely wake you up in the night, even with the earplugs they thoughtfully provide. Still, I'll go back the next time I visit my son in college, without hesitation.

We had an amazing time! Best value, very clean, and a wonderful location. The parking is a little difficult but you get used to making a u-turn to park on the street. We really enjoyed our time here and plan to visit again.

Great private place to stay for a few nights near Pittsburgh for less than $50 a night. Very clean and well equipped for guests. There is a full kitchen with all new appliances, 2 bedrooms with full sized beds, a clean newly remodeled bathroom, and a small living room with tv. Everything you could hope for in a small furnished apartment with extras. The trains are loud and frequent, but Brendan and Amanda provide ear plugs in the apartment for light sleepers. The neighborhood felt a little industrious and rundown, but I care far more about the cleanliness inside the place than the outside. I would stay here again.

Great place; very nice hosts. Modernized appliances with lots of convenience. Not too far from much of anything in Pittsburgh. Just make sure you brush up on parallel parking.

I have stayed in probably a dozen or so Airbnb's and this has got to be my favorite! My colleague and I were on business in Pittsburgh and just needed something central to our many events around the city for the week. Everyday I would turn around and notice something new that made my stay that more enjoyable. Everything from the little cookies to dip in my coffee to the sweet smelling shampoos in the shower to the quality dish-wear to cook a feast with to even the sleep masks places by each bedside. There are just too many comfort aspects of this stay to list. The price point and location made this a 5 star business trip for me! Thank you guys for making Pittsburgh rememberable!!! -Shane

Very comfortable and safe location close to great restaurants

Great stay. No issues

This place was exactly what we needed. We have family in PGH that we visit regularly and we have been to hotels, other airbnbs, finally found something to suit us. Price, location, comfort, everything was spot on. We LOVED the ability to unload our car right outside the door---this is a priceless luxury in the city of hills and stairs. There was plenty of room for our family of four, the house was warm, water was hot and the location was minutes from the main highway and every store/restaurant you could possibly need. Bonus was access to the Great Allegheny Passage trail which we hiked one day when we had beautiful sunny 70 degree weather. If you are thinking of renting here, do it, just not when we need to come back please :).

This is a great place to stay if you are visiting Pittsburgh for a weekend or staying for a whole month. I stayed for a month during a medical externship. Ryan and Darrah made it extremely easy to move in and get settled. Everything was accurate on their description. One thing that I was impressed with was the cleanliness of the home. Throughout the month, it was easy to communicate with Ryan and Darrah when I had questions. They were very flexible with allowing family to visit during the month, which was greatly appreciated. It was great meeting them and I would stay again if/when I come back to Pittsburgh. I highly recommend staying here!

We had a family with three young kids and my father. The kids slept on the pullout sofa, and the adults were in the bedrooms. The place is as we expected - very basic, with the essentials, clean and convenient. If you are looking for value, this is a great option.

Had a wonderful stay in Homestead. This lovely neighborhood would surely have been missed had we not stayed with Ryan and his family. Dara appointed the kitchen extremely well, I was MOST impressed. We had everything we needed to cook meals and the home was comfortable with air conditioning and plenty of room! Parking is easy too! They even have a washer and dryer in the basement for you to do laundry! Wow! We had a great time and would definitely stay again! I did recommend that they get a TV, as it was the only thing that I was left wanting. Thanks again!

Kind and friendly hosts.

The price is reasonable, you got what you pay for. The house owner prepare for everything for you. There is no private parking, and it took us some time to find the place.

Ryan was quick to respond before and during our stay. The pictures and description are accurate - it is an older home, but clean and cared for. The home is a close drive to the city and has some cool hangouts you can walk to. We enjoyed Voodoo Brewery and Studio AM. Also close to grocery store at the Waterfront. Ryan was very easy going and accommodating.

Clean, comfortable home with all necessities provided. We had a few issues the first night and Darrah attended to them right away. She is a super gracious and attentive host. Quiet area, walking distance to a sizable strip mall and some cool restaurants/bars, and a quick drive to downtown Pittsburgh and other tourist areas. I would definitely stay here again!

Ágatha was very accommodating. Everything was very neat and the thought she put in to the apartment is spectacular. Anything I needed she had. I would deffinately go back !!

Very amazing and organized house. I could not think better and I hope we left with organizing everything after us

The rooms are really neat and nice. Everything that we need are provided (soap, towels, cooking utensils, etc) . The house feels more like a second home than a rental place. Agatha is very kind and she is always easy to reach at anytime. Also, the location of the house is very close to many stores in Waterfront and restaurants. (15 minutes walk)

It was exactly what was advertised

Agatha's place was really lovely. The personal touches made it feel like home, and she was quick to respond during the entire process. A great host!

This place was a bargain for our Memorial Day weekend in Pittsburgh. Agatha is an extremely gracious hostess and did everything in her power to make our stay perfect. I had contacted her before our arrival with a special request, and she was very honest about possibly not being able to accommodate the request and then did everything in her power to make it happen. Greatly appreciated! We were a bit surprised by the Hollywood decor as it is not in the current photos. Also, I was expecting a one bedroom, and this is set up much more like a large studio.

Great, everything as expected except please install a shower Thanks for the food and snacks provided :)

I enjoyed staying here! Agatha quickly responded to any questions I had, and gave me loads of information about the place before I got there, and checked up on us via text once during our 2-night stay. I couldn't check in until late (11 p.m.), and she was incredibly accommodating of my late arrival. The stocked pantry is a very nice touch, and was a convenience after a long drive into town. The bed is comfortable, and the water temperature/pressure is great. When we were there, we spent most of our time on the balcony as the weather was perfect for fresh air. This was my first Airbnb experience, and I'm looking forward to using the site again!

The room, bathroom and kitchenette available for guests are perfect. The room is complete with a selection of books, an audio system to use with your phone or computer, and a super comfy mattress. My partner and I only stayed for one night, but it was perfect! We will definitely stay again if we are in the Pittsburgh area.

Great place to stay. One of the best airbnb experiences I have had! Would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

This was my first AirBnB experience and it was really comfortable and amazing!!!! The location was very easy to find as well..and yes !!! Eric is a great host

AMAZING Eric was great. This was our first time using air BnB and we had a lot of questions, Eric was very helpful and answered all of our questions. He was really flexible and accommodating with the check in and his dogs were adorable. 5/5 would stay again

I barley got to talk with Eric, but he was super accommodating and kind! I was driving all day and went right to bed then left very early, but the room is super spacious and Eric supplied a killer book shelf!!

Very hospitable, SUPER comfy bed(s), adorable dogs. Would absolutely come back.

Although brief, I had a great stay in Eric's Home. The space is quite large when you take into account it's the whole second floor, which includes a relaxation room stocked with water, soft drinks and other snacks. I love that he has a dry erase board in that room to leave a friendly message of your stay as well! It felt like a real BnB experience! I was on the last leg of a cross country trip, so I didn't interact a ton with Eric, but I could tell he's most friendly and an interesting guy! Also, you'll love the eclectic way the room is decorated. I would stay again in a heartbeat! Thanks Eric!

Eric's place is very creative and cozy. He goes above and beyond to exceed your expectations. Highly recommend it!

Judith一家热情好客,随和好相处。她的房子交通便利,步行5分钟就有一家大超市,生活非常方便。如果有机会再区匹兹堡还会选择Judith!

I had a great stay. The room and facilities were just as described, and were comfortable.

The room was clean and the hosts were pleasant. Parking was easy and the location was very convenient for us. Just a heads up, there are no locks on the individual rooms. This isn't an issue, but is good to note if that bothers you.

Everything was ok

This room is great and Judith is very thoughtful and friendly. I would definitly stay again

Excellent value. Friendly hosts. Clean room. Solid experience. Thanks again for hosting me Judith.

A great place. I like it

Judith was really nice and friendly and so was the rest of her family. I felt welcome the bed was really comfy :)

Wonderful place to live in!Everyday I walk to the CMU,maybe just 25 mins.希望明年能考取卡内基梅隆大学的博士,我还能住在这里!房东全家人都很好,而且Luke 还是学习中文的,相处很和谐,还成为了朋友!值得推荐!

It is a clean and nice place to stay and host also is very nice. I strong recommended it for your next trip.

First time using airbnb and it was definitely a positive experience for me. Bill and Sherri were very accommodating and made me feel very confortable in their home, which was clean and super quiet.

Will and Sherri were wonderful hosts. I only stayed the night as I was in town to help my brother move out, but the room was nice and clean. There is a window air conditioning unit, along with a mini-fridge in the room. The bed is comfortable, I would rate it about a 6 on a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being soft, 10 being firm). I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Bill and Sherry are very nice people, and the place was nice and had a reasonable price.

I really enjoyed Bill and Sheri's place. It has a rustic, boarding-house feel with several letted rooms, and is in a nice quiet neighborhood. They were great hosts, and I particularly appreciate Bill waiting up for me when I arrived as my flight was delayed.

The location was perfect as it was close to Carnegie Mellon. Hosts were also very accommodating and I had a good welcome chat with Bill when I arrived. Room and toilet were clean, and area is quiet. Highly recommended.

Great Location with Great People!

Shelley's space was set up thoughtfully, with an atmosphere that made it easy to unwind. I appreciated the little details Shelley set up to make the place more welcome. She had coffee and tea as well as other beverages available in the fridge, in addition to a tea kettle to boil water. Her instructions were easy to understand, and it's a place my boyfriend and I would easily revisit.

shelly was the perfect host and her place was the perfect retreat. we stayed for two nights and my friend and i loved it there. it was charming and cozy and the back yard was lovely. it was easy to get to and there are shops and cafes just a ten minute walk away. shelly was delightful. friendly, helpful, without being obtrusive. i wish we could have stayed longer and gotten to know her better. i would highly recommend this place to any and all travelers.

Shelly was a great host. Very friendly, and very welcoming. We loved the nice residential neighborhood, and it was only 15 or 20 minute drive to downtown. The space is a nice basement studio apartment, part of Shelly's beautiful home and equally impressive garden. The apartment has a rustic feel, and Shelly's decorations go well with the brick walls. The bed, pillows, linens, are all comfortable. Bathroom was clean, and has a nice tub/shower and sink. Kitchen was stocked with good coffee and a few breakfast snacks. Parking was simple, with plenty of space to park. There are restaurants and shops within walking distance (~10-15 mins) in Regent Square. Getting downtown was easy driving, might be a little difficult without a car. Pittsburgh was very cool city, I wish we had spent more time there! Shelly's was the perfect place to stay on our trip.

The apartment is super cute and fantastically located. Shelley was very helpful and responsive. It's nice walking out the backdoor into the park. Very tranquil experience. Would absolutely recommend the place to anyone wanting to stay in the area.

We had a great time in an awesome place. Being right next to the park was amazing. Shelly was a great host . Communicated everything in advance and was very nice. After a day and a half, we wanted to move in

Very cozy basement apartment with great, simple amenities that backs up against a forest/park. Nice scene to "get away" a bit. Shelley was super helpful with chill, good vibes! A great host, relaxed atmosphere. Would definitely book again. Thank you, Shelley!

I rented this place for a co-worker who was coming in for a business meeting in Point Breeze. She loved the space and the beautiful setting. All was clean and convenient, too. The communication was great!

Had a great stay at Shelleys place. Was cute and cozy and had all these adorable little informational notes left out for guests. Too cute. Only sad I forgot to sign the guest book. Would book again.

Sam made us feel very much at home in his house, which is set on a quiet side-street near CMU. The guest bedroom and adjoining bathroom (with an old-fashioned tub actually big enough to take a bath in) provided ample privacy and were quite comfortable. Definitely recommended.

Quiet, beautiful room with a very polite host.

Sam's place is absolutely beautiful! His house is located in a beautiful neighborhood and right next to Carnegie Mellon! The pictures don't do the room justice - it's amazing! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone!!

It's a great place to live if you are visiting CMU. The puppies are cute and the room is nice.

Sam's home is beautiful and the bed and bedding luxurious! Sam could not have been more charming, and we could not have been more comfortable!

It is a very nice room, clean and has beautiful decoration. It is quite. Sam has two lovely dogs. Sam is very friendly and nice. I will recommend this place.

Sam's place was beautiful, comfortable and at a great location. A few minutes you are in a beautiful park, or among tasty restaurants. He was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. I would highly recommend staying with Sam.

Sam's place is one of the best deals I have got in Pittsburgh! It's close to CMU; very quiet. The work desk was the best part since I could easily work from his house. Highly recommended!

Comfortable apartment close to restaurants and shops. I enjoyed my stay, and hope to visit again!

We had a great stay at Alex's place. Would definitely come back as the place was not only beautiful and very clean but also situated close to a lot of nice restaurants, bars and places of interest. The instructions sent were very clear and we didn't run into any issues at all. Thanks Alex!

Wonderful place, better than the pictures. Comfortable for even three people. Provided plenty of good things and was beyond expectations. Would reccommend to anyone!

This apartment was great, Alex was very responsive and gave great instructions for check-in. The off-street parking was a huge bonus.

Our stay was perfectly fine for the cost. I hope that they begin to stock toilet paper and consider a mirror in the bedroom next to an outlet (there is no outlet in the bathroom for blow drying hair). The location was good- about .5-1 mile from the shops and restaurants in Shadyside. It did the trick.

Nice clean and convenient place.

Very clean apartment in a quiet residential area. Everything was in a great condition. We have also enjoyed watching films on a big internet TV. Wi-Fi internet was superb. I would definitely come back for Alex's place if I visit Pittsburgh again.

Exactly as advertised, will return if I get the opportunity!

Dylan was very accommodating, he let us into the house when we arrived very late. The place was exactly how the listing described it, very cozy, clean, and creative. We can tell Dylan and Amber really cared and took pride of their house.

Dylan and Amber were very welcoming and helpful. They weren't there when I arrived but they left me with clear instructions to check myself in. Their cat, Scout, immediately welcomed me when I walked in. Scout and Emma, their dog, are the best! They're so cute and well-behaved, and definitely made the place feel more homey. Amber gave me plenty recommendations as to what to see in the city. The house is not in the most upscale neighborhood, but it is an easy drive away from everything.

This was my second stay with Amber and Dylan, and I enjoyed it just like the first.

Dylan and Amber are both lovely people and they have a beautiful home. Their house is situated in a residential area south and east of Pittsburgh. I stayed there because I attended a concert at Carnegie Homestead. They were both extremely welcoming and were totally cool with me coming back late after the concert, which ended up being around 1AM. The room as a great ambiance. Also, they have a dog and cat and they are adorable!

This was our first time using Airbnb, and it went wonderfully. Dylan and Amber are wonderful hosts. Their home is charming and inviting. While restaurants and shops are not within walking distance, it's only a short bus ride to downtown. I recommend staying with Dylan and Amber if you're looking for a cozy place to stay outside of downtown.

It was great, it was clean, and most of all very welcoming

Really cool place with lists of original style and super comfy bed and a very friendly cute house cat who kept me company! Easy access to city in my car. Super lovely people made me feel at home! Thank you

Amber was very welcoming and super sweet. Their home is very nice and has lots of character. The room is one of the coolest we have stayed in as far as decorations and themes go. Everything was provided that we could have needed. We would go back for sure.

Lexi's place is a funky delight with lots of beautiful objects!

Wonderful. The stay exceeded every expectation. The host is fantastic and provided us with great recommendations for the local area. Thank you Texi!

Although I wasn't able to stay at her place due to weather, Texi was extremely helpful in navigating and accommodating the changes. She was a pleasure to interact with!

Cloud 9 is a wonderful place to stay in Pittsburgh and an amazing deal. The apartment is comfortably furnished and has all you would need to cook a basic meal in the surprisingly well-equipped kitchen. I had a hard time getting to Pittsburgh and Texi was very kind to be flexible when my flight was cancelled twice and I didn't arrive until morning. The bed was perfect after a long day. Little touches like local coffee and fixings and an extensive recommendation list were great. I was sad to leave and plan to come back with company and time to see the city.

The bed was a dream and the apt was very spacious, it was just what I needed after some long travel. Beautiful area, could easily have stayed there for weeks. Definitely the spot for a Pittsburgh stay.

Beautifully designed home in a wonderful (and convenient!) location. Everything was as described and communication with host was impeccable.

This was my first time ever using AirBnB and I have to say I was so pleased and happy with our place. Our host was amazing and she made our stay so pleasant. I now have high expectations and would rebook this place again in a heartbeat. Our place was so cozy and perfect!

The apartment was beautiful! We stayed in the one that isn't renovated, but it was cozy and and everything was clean. It is obvious that Texi is very detailed, and cares about making sure that the people she hosts have a comfortable stay. She made sure we had a list to recommended restaurants (great for people who aren't familiar with the city) and bikes which were convenient since there were so many great restaurants/things to do within biking distance. We didn't have a chance to meet her, but she was easy to contact and she was very helpful. This was my first stay at an airbnb and Texi set the bar pretty high. I would definitely stay here again!

The host canceled this reservation 10 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Scott and Ron were wonderful and their house is beautiful!! Will be back!!!

Staying with Scott was absolutely wonderful! The neighborhood is beautiful - tons of great shops and restaurants in easy walking distance - and the house itself is so great you'd hardly want to leave. Finding it was easy, arrival was smooth, and we had a great time talking with Scott during our brief visit. The next time we're in Pittsburgh, we'll be staying with Scott!

What a beautiful, gracious, grand home! Carefully restored and refurnished large 19th (?) century-home, with modern conviences. My 3rd story room was spacious and well appointed, the bathroom is large, with a claw-foot tub with shower fixture. Air conditioner worked well, plus there is an overhead fan. Hosts are personable and provided an excellent breakfast. Bring a bottle of wine or whatever to enjoy on the back patio overlooking the lawn, garden, and koi pond below. Comfortable bed (memory foam, I think) and delightful experience. Walking distance to several nice restaurants (such as Casbah - Scott and Ron can recommend others).

Very nice place to stay. We felt at home. This house is amazing the pics do not make it justice. It is impecable, and super clean. They have done a great job decorating this house and maintaining it. It is in a very nice area, close to all the main Universities. The free parking is so helpful! Breakfast was incredible, Scott was a very nice host, very friendly and helpful.

Scott was a gracious host. The house is lovely, and he is extremely accommodating. All was as advertised in the many positive reviews I ready before making reservations. The location is also terrific. It is within walking distance to many restaurants, and a short drive to most attractions and universities in the city.

This was my first Airbnb experience, and I must say that I think Scott and Ron have ruined things for me from this point forward. The experience was far better than I had anticipated. I did my research and read many reviews about this property from previous guests. Everything referenced is factual and then some. The pictures really don't do the home justice... The best part of my stay was definitely the interaction with the hosts, as well as the guests. Everyone was extremely friendly and made me feel at home. I would gladly recommend Scott and Ron's home to anyone looking for a 5-Star experience in a perfect location. I can't wait until I visit Pittsburgh again. With Gratitude, Nic

Hosts are truly amazing, and their photos do not do justice to the beauty of the house. Centrally located to everywhere we planned to go, could not have chosen a better Airbnb.

Very good experience! 来匹兹堡玩的话住这里非常棒,房东非常好,很友善。

Alyssa and Scott are very friendly people. Their hause is very nice and clean. They have two pets, dog Uno and cat Milo. They are very friendly. I felt very well in their hause.

The hosts are very nice and communicative. They will guide you about the area in detail and will provide any kind of help required. Place is very clean and quiet. You can use their kitchen anytime. However, you will have to share the bathroom which was no problem for me at all.

It's a cozy and comfortable room with a shared bathroom, the hosts are nice and helpful, pets are well-trained, highly recommend

My stay was great! Most comfortable bed I've ever slept in honestly.

Alyssa was great! Her and her boyfriend were very welcoming. Her pets were well behaved. Communication was very quick, and she was very flexible with me on changing the date and time of check in:

By far our best airbnb experience yet! Alyssa was super helpful from the beginning, answering all of my (many) questions, helping us plan our trip and recommending places to eat in city (though we arrived tired and late and ended up just ordering pizza!). The house was super clean, my bed was super comfortable, and my son and his friend were so comfortable on the big couch in the basement they didn't even need to set up the futons for sleep. Alyssa and Scott went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. We really felt totally welcome and at home in their house. They are a great couple to talk to and share a glass of wine with as well! We'll definitely stay with them again next time we need to stay anywhere near Pittsburgh.

Alyssa is so nice and welcoming. She has an awesome dog and cat that made our stay even better. We will definitely use Alyssa again if we're back in the Pittsburgh area!

Great location--very close to the PPG Arena. Clean and has the basic amenities you need to stay. If you're just looking for a place to crash, this is a great place!

This location is great as it is very easy to get around to all the city has to offer, and Myra was a great host, offering us all the help we needed with checking in, parking and even ironing our clothes. The apartment itself offers all the basic amenities one needs when visiting for a few days.

Location location location. We stay to attend penguin hockey games. Myra is a great host and the room clean. Will always stay here to attend events. You can even walk to Duquesne university or other events downtown.

I was traveling to Pittsburgh for a conference downtown, but didn't want to stay downtown. This is about a 30 minute walk, leisurely to market square. Myra was fantastic in communication and check in leading up to our visit. The accommodations are very clean and simple. The queen bed was extremely comfortable. Do wear earplugs at night because it's located on a city street and earplugs work wonders!

Great place and amazing host. Feels home. I strongly recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Pittsburgh!

The apartment was super close to PPG paints arena, plenty of space and an actual hairdryer (which is strangely rare in many places we've stayed). The shower stall is a bit narrow, but the water was still hot for both of us to shower. So much to do in the city that you don't even miss a TV. Myra is a wonderful host and we would definitely stay here again.

Myra's place was lovely ! If you are in Pittsburgh and need a basic, no frills place to rest your head this is a great option. Myra's communication was super transparent and she herself helped with check-in and letting us know any important information. Parking was easy in the area, and it was relatively close to many different neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. If you're a walker, great option as you can walk to the market/main square as well -- if not, easy Uber drive to wherever you need to get.

Ellie is friendly and knowledgable. The description was accurate. Clean comfortable attractive home in a nice residential area. Short walk to shops, restaurants, bakery and buses. Excellent choice.

Ellie was awwsome! We didn't have much interaction but she was definately there if I needed. Super sweet gal and very clean and comfortable room.

I stayed at Ellie's place for several weeks while adjusting to a new job in a new city. The space was a great place for that change. There are nice shops within walking distance, and the neighborhood is beautiful, particularly with the Autumn leaves. The area is very quiet, and it doesn't take long to drive into the inner city. Ellie herself was very accommodating, friendly and very informative about the city.

Ellie was very friendly and pleasant! Place was great! ️

A great room at a great price! I'll definitely be keeping Ellie in mind the next time I come to town!

The place is pristine and beautiful. Nested in a quiet part of town but still close to everything. A great place to stay!

Had a great stay at Ellie's place third time visiting!

The trip to Pittsburgh was great because of John's kind help and his wonderful house. He gave us warm welcome with awesome prepartion such as asian foods, cold beer, nice candles, and more. Appreciating his art works in his house was another joy for us. This place has very nice neighbors and is very easy access to CMU, nice shopping malls, nice eating places and visitor's points. It is within 10 to 20 minutes to every where around the city of Pittsburgh. My families were enjoying his house and I strongly recommend his house. Thank you John.

My first-ever Air BnB experience was a winner! I was arriving for what was expected to be an intense and stressful week and wanted to treat myself to a gentle landing via Air BnB for my first two days. From the outside, unassuming (corner) row house in quiet, working class neighborhood with friendly feel. Inside – wow! Things I loved about staying here: -The art! (including the spectacular handmade tables) I didn’t need to be in the TV room for anything practical, but I did go in to be with the paintings. -Sleeping with the window open and the ceiling fan on (there is central AC, but breeze was nicer) -Sitting in the living room drinking coffee, eating raspberries and listening to music on Sunday morning -Being able to work at the desk in the office – also a clean, uncluttered environment -Interesting books artfully arranged on the stairs (and being permitted to borrow one that hooked me before I checked out) -Backyard hammock As host, John made things exceptionally easy. -Said he could accommodate a late arrival close to midnight and then was still extremely gracious when I arrived at 1:20 a.m. after delayed flight and road closure detour (of course, it was beyond my control and I was apologetic and I communicated as best as I could about ETA) and patiently explained what I needed to know about the house. (There was also written information available.) He seemed completely sympathetic to my travel travails rather than seemed annoyed. -Asked the day before if I had questions or needed anything in particular, and when I asked if the house had decaf coffee and half and half already, he said he would take care of it and did. -He had left some really nice food items in the house for guests – chocolate, fruit, good bread, and even some greens, certainly more than anticipated. -Texted in the late morning just to see how things were and if I had questions or needed anything. When I had a question later, he responded promptly. -He didn't need me to check out right at 11 (which I’d planned to do) so he offered a slightly later time unbidden, that was more convenient for me. Other: Frick Park is a huge greenbelt with many intersecting walking trails – with an entryway within a mile of the house. Square Café (in Regent Square) has terrific breakfasts. There were lots of folks out walking dogs or with strollers or exercising in the neighborhood. Very good feel to house and ‘hood.

It was our first experience using airbnb and it was a good one..better than we expected.. John is a very nice and welcoming man ..He had a bottle of wine w 2 glasses ,a loaf of french bread w olive oil and cheese waiting for us ..He is extremly hospitable and would highly recommend staying with him as we would again when in the Pittsburgh area..

We had a lovely experience at John's house! His home is very unique and serene- lots of clean open spaces and interesting artwork at every turn, most of which was created by John himself. He left lots of amenities for us such as beer, bread, eggs, and fresh fruit. He also provided us with some ideas about what to do in the city and where to go for things like groceries, pharmacy, and other essentials. Also, there is a little corner bar about 50 yards from the house that also sells to-go beers and we spent a good bit of time there. We would definitely stay at John's again!

John made my boyfriend and I feel very welcome! He gave us a very thorough tour of the house, got us hooked up to his chromecast so we could stream tv, gave us access to the internet on his own office Mac, left us enough food for a hearty breakfast and gave us pointers for multiple neighborhood eateries/hang out spots. We would definitely stay here again if we're ever back in Pittsburgh!

John was extremely accommodating. His home is lovely and the neighborhood is very pleasant. Not too far from downtown area, and public transportation is just around the corner. Overall great experience!

First off, this home is in a sweet little neighborhood. Quiet and family-oriented. The home itself is an expression of John's taste as an artist and is nicely appointed. John is a gracious host. He patiently explained the various aspects of the house and was kind enough to provide some healthy provisions such as yogurt, berries, snacks and cheeses. He checked in from time to time by text to see how things were going. The location, so close to Squirrel Hill, the universities, Frick and Schenley Parks, is terrific. I would love to stay here again and highly recommend this Airbnb host and his home.

Just left this little 'home away from home' and I had another peaceful, pleasant week. It's my third stay here, and this place is like a miniature art gallery. Bright, sunny, in a quiet neighborhood, convenient to much of Pittsburgh. I always feel welcome. It's like staying at a friend's house, who has set you up with some starters for meals, and of course he provides a canonical list of favorite places to shop, eat, and visit. I sleep like a rock here. Clean, thoughtfully appointed, and homey.

Great place to stay in Pittsburgh! The host is great and has put together a great unit for guests.

Very nice

We loved staying at Kate's place! She was super friendly and accommodating. The apartment is spacious and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again.

Kate was a great host! Her communication was excellent and the place was very clean! She even has a few breakfast items there for my stay. I definitely plan to stay there again.

Great location, super easy to get to downtown Oakland. Pretty house and lovely decorations. Everything was very easy. House was well stocked and comfortable. Yummy biscuits and fresh orange juice and cream for coffee. Nice neighborhood to walk around.

What a great stay. Really enjoyed the house. Host was easy to reach and stayed in touch the whole time too. Loved the artwork, the neighborhood, and the vibe of the place. Best to you, Kate, and thanks!

Kate was very easy to communicate with and her place was clean and even more charming than the photos. I've stayed at quite a few air bnbs and this was really a good price for such a nice place and host. I even had to change my plans slightly and Kate was very understanding and accommodating. Thanks!

Kate is amazing. The space is beautiful and homey and she made arrival clear and easy. Very thoughtful host!

Marco was out of town and quickly put me in contact with Myra who was extremely proactive in helping to make sure my arrival went smoothly. Street parking was safe and convenient. Everything else is exactly as described.

Very nice host and great room!

Comfortable quiet and warm. Very accommodating for a late arrival. Clean. Very good wifi.

Everything was good. Location is great. Very quiet. No problem with parking. It has a share bathroom, but it didn't cause any problem for me.

Even for a one night stay I felt very welcome. I only got to meet Marco's landlord, Myra, who was extremely nice and chatted with me when I arrived. I came and went easily and the house was very quiet. I'd stay there again.

Myra is the absolute kindest person. She she waited up until 2:00AM for me to arrive because my bus was delayed. She made me feel so welcome; I felt like part of the family. I wish I had more time to chat with her, I'll stay with her next I'm in Pittsburgh for sure. Plus the room was nice and the location was conventient and felt safe. Thanks again Myra! <3

The room is clean and sweet, and is exactly as those pictures show. The hosts are very nice, and I really appreciate their hospitality. I'll definitely choose this place to stay if I visit Pittsburgh again.

It was the most pleasent stay i had so far in my AirBnB history. Very kind Host, like a second home in another country.
