We LOVED our stay at this fabulous home. Our family from Texas and Colorado stayed for a long weekend celebrating my MIL's 93 Birthday. The ability to all stay together was honestly the best part of our trip. Really 5 Bedrooms and beautiful furnishings and EVERYTHING you could want or need. Traveling with little ones is difficult however when we arrived we found the hosts had gone above and beyond to make sure the kids were very well covered. A cubby in one of the rooms decorated with little lights offers a space for sleep.The backyard offered a wonderful space for morning coffee and a place for the kids to explore. The neighborhood is very vibrant during the day, with great little shops and a Prantls Bakery near by. A pub at the end of the street is a great place for a beer. The property has private off-street parking too!I could go on and on. This is the essence of Pittsburgh, and am already looking forward to our next stay.

We had a fantastic stay at this property! The location couldn’t be better—close to everything, yet peaceful and relaxing. The attention to detail throughout the home really stood out, from the well-stocked kitchen to the thoughtful décor touches that made it feel warm and inviting.The three beautifully renovated bathrooms, conveniently spread out across all floors, made it especially easy and comfortable for our group. The layout is ideal for hosting a larger gathering without ever feeling crowded.The backyard was truly a highlight. It's beautifully maintained, perfect for relaxing or dining outside, and the hot tub was such a nice bonus—especially after a day of exploring.Andrew was a great communicator and made the entire process smooth and easy. We couldn’t have asked for a better host or a better place to stay—and we’d definitely return!

What a fantastic property
We had a large group stay at The Heart of Deutschtown! The space was incredibly accommodating and well done! The hosts were incredibly responsive. The location can't be beat. Our group did the zoo, children's museum, baseball game, water park, pickleball, runs, walks, grocery runs, etc. and we were relatively close to everything! Thank you to the hosts for making our family stay in Pittsburgh one to remember.

I liked it!
The hosts made themselves easily accessible. The house is adorable. I don’t really have my city feet and the neighborhood caught me off guard at first. But it grew on us for sure and we enjoyed walking around, finding great places to eat and being in such close driving distance from everything else. If you want to stay in Deutachtown, this is just wonderful!
