Easy check in, clean house, awesome rooftop patio, great location

We really appreciated our stay and communication leading up to the trip. Thanks again!

We loved this condo! It was perfect for our family of 5 and had everything we needed. The condo was spotless when we arrived. Looked just like the photos online - beautiful and comfortable. We loved having 4 bathrooms! The view was amazing from every level (except the bottom floor) and especially the top deck! That was our only disappointment- the outdoor furniture was broken so we couldn’t sit out there. But the room off the deck had an incredible view, plenty of furniture and a bar. The street seemed a little sketchy at first. The buildings on each side of this beautiful condo were very rundown but the neighborhood was very quiet and although the train tracks were very close, the train did not bother us at all. It is walkable to shops & restaurants but we did not feel it would be safe to do at night. It is very easy to get an Uber in Pittsburgh. Thomas, our host, was very responsive through email.

I’m fairly disappointed with certain aspects of this rental. Some of it could be explained by a strange glitch I experienced with VRBO and the reservation process. Regardless of that, the beds were fairly uncomfortable and most reading the advertisement should instead plan for this being a 3 bed, 3.5 bath house, not 4 beds. The 4th space was a loft that was hot and had these cheap, uncomfortable futons in it. The adults did not like sitting on them and the kids didn’t like them either. The beds in the bedrooms were also uncomfortable and the AC seemed too small to cool the house. So, we did not get much sleep. The living space was fine, but we hardly spent time here. The patio space was cool on the top floor, but the boards on the floor were broken. I felt like the sensitivity toward renting was odd with the property owner asking questions about why we were renting for dates showing available online. The message I think had to do with deterring parties. We were a family visiting Pittsburgh to attend a funeral. I was annoyed with questions about guests as our situation may have resulted in us having family pass through. Overall, I just felt uncomfortable. The place was designed to be a rental house and not homie. We were just passing through, so it worked for our needs this time. The house was clean and nice enough. I just wouldn’t recommend the place. I also don’t like VRBO’s app and rental process, which was not the landlord’s fault.
