Weekend Trip
It was a great space overall. The bedroom with the twin bunkers was smaller than expected and the space where the toilet was is not plus size friendly which made using the bathroom a little difficult for three members of our family. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

In town for 25th Anniversary Celebration. This property was just what we needed: at home environment, close proximity to a shopping center (Edgewood Towne Center), and close to venue as well as family members who still live in the area. As in previous messages: driveway is narrow, however, parking was convenient. Glad property was available for us!

Lovely home but noisy
Very nice place. Meet our needs.Loved the living space and large kitchen/dining room. Bedrooms were big too. Bathroom a bit awkward but all very nice. Heidi made good use of an old house. Downsides were the train that comes through between 5-7 am which is just outside the property and lots of noise from emergency vehicles.

Spacious and comfortable home
Great, clean, comfortable space for our family to spread out during a quick Pittsburgh trip. Swissvale location is a close drive to everything we planned to visit. Not a “destination” neighborhood in itself but there’s an awesome soft serve spot around the block and a coffee shop within 10-15 minute walk. Convenient parking space in rear of property- as advertised, narrow driveway. Our minivan fit.

Super-spacious accommodations and lovely sun room!
Our host was amazing! She was very kind, helpful and communicative. Loved the on-site parking, too! We had a pet bird with us and we kept his cage in the sunroom where he loved looking out over the street. Thank you for a great experience!

Gorgeous and comfortable!
We came to Pittsburgh to visit my stepdaughter attending University of Pitt. This location was a 10 minute drive from everywhere we wanted to go.
The house was spotless and the beds were super comfortable. The only downside (that is not the fault of the property owner) is that we visited during a heatwave and the property is on the second floor. It took a full 24 hours of running all the A/C units to cool the house down. The owners had the units running for us when we arrived to help combat the heat. Each bedroom has its own A/C unit so we slept very comfortably.
There was an issue with the Amazon fire stick that was fixed by the owners immediately.
All of the furniture and linens were very clean and comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked with essentials. The towels and bedding were very luxurious! Similar to a 5 star hotel!
The pictures do this home no justice as it is much bigger than we expected. Plenty of room for our family of 6.
The neighborhood seems a little sketchy as we heard sirens throughout the stay but we never felt unsafe. The driveway is challenging but we managed to navigate my minivan in and out of it many times with no damage. There are nearby train tracks but it wasn’t so loud it woke anyone up, but you did hear the trains.
We will definitely return to this property when my step daughter graduates and we visit again!!

Super clean and conveniently located apartment!
SUPER clean and beautiful apartment. There was plenty of room for myself, husband, 2 small children (a 3 y/o and 5 y/o) and my parents. Heidi was very responsive and made check-in and check-out so easy. My only concern was the neighborhood was so-so and we wish there would’ve been more secure locks on all of the doors but any neighbors we saw were very nice! As others said, parking behind the place is tight and we have a minivan so it took some maneuvering. All in all, we had a great experience and were right next to the highway and shops! We’ll definitely use this place again!

1 bathroom for 3 bedrooms, no laundry, right off the highway
This was the worst pick of places we had on tour. There are not near enough bathrooms per bedroom, there is no laundry, and the location is incredibly loud with a train nearby, as well as being directly off the highway. It's super loud at night, and the beds were so uncomfortable.

Labor Day Getaway
My family of four stayed here over Labor Day weekend to explore Pittsburgh. The location was very convenient to everything we wanted to see and was easy to get to. The property is the entire upstairs of a house and was very spacious and comfortable. It had everything we needed and was a nice place to come back to and relax after long days exploring the city. Heidi did a great job communicating from the time we booked the property until we left, including checking in during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and recommending restaurants and things to do. Highly recommend this property. As another reviewer noted, the driveway to the back parking spot is narrow, so go slowly! The parking area itself is spacious, and it was a treat not to have to find on-street parking.
