Always pleasure. Lisa is THE BEST friend ever!🫶

Nice and cozy

Lisa, the host was a wonderful host and communicator. She was very accommodating and responsive. We traveled with our 2 dogs - as it was cold and snowy, I loved that this place had a secure, fenced-in yard where I didn't have to go outside with them on a leash. I was able to bring the dogs in the kitchen and guide them to the bathroom to dry their paws from the snow.The place was welcoming and eclectic in decorations - it gave the place a lot of personality. The kitchen can get drafty, but we didn't have any issues staying warm with the heat and blankets - the bedroom was very warm each night so we turned the heat down.It took some getting used to the bathroom being on a different floor from the main bedroom, but we managed just fine. The bed was very comfortable for us and the bathroom was nice and updated.The kitchen had just enough to manage for a few days - although I struggled to find a pan where pancakes didn't stick to it. There are ample spices and Pam - just no oil in the cabinet.The neighborhood was an unknown area of Pittsburgh to us - although some surrounding homes are rundown or abandoned, we felt very safe going for walks in the area. It was quiet except for the dogs that live next door - but after talking with Lisa we learned more about the situation and weren't bothered. Instructions inside the place were simple, easy-to-follow - recycling and trash were easy to follow too. If we are in town in the future, we would consider this place again!

We arrived late around 12:30 am. It was dark, the directions got us there but I was really not sure about the neighborhood as it was a little sketchy. When I got into the house, and realized there wasn’t a bathroom upstairs near the bedroom, I opted to sleep on the couch in the living room because I have minor mobility issues and the steps are steep. I was concerned about falling down them at night. At approximately 3 am I heard what sounded like gunshots in the neighborhood and I couldn’t sleep because of it. I searched for a hotel nearby and we left after only being there for 8 hrs out of a two day stay. I didn’t ask the owner for a refund and I just cut my losses for my own safety and comfort. And my trip was almost a year ago so I’m not sure why I’m just now being asked to review. The owner was responsive and the home was beautiful on the inside but because of the location and the overall dislike of Pittsburgh, would not return again. Not the owners fault, just not my cup of tea!
