Great downtown PGH property!

We loved our stay at this property! It’s perfectly situated for the cultural district, strip district, downtown, and convention center. The historic building is beautiful! I would agree with other comments that the backgrounding required upon booking seems to be a little much compared to other VRBO experiences, but it is definitely worth it in the end. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great property

This is a beautiful building with a great fitness facility. It’s across from the Westin conference center and is quieter and has better parking than nearby hotels. The apartments are huge compared to hotel rooms and the staff at the Pennsylvanian were super helpful. The identity/credit card verification process prior to stay is onerous. Well worth it but annoying compared to just showing an ID and card at checkin when staying at hotels.

Great location but too small for 4 adults

We were staying for a competition at the convention center, which was within walking distance. The location was great and there were a lot of restaurants within walking distance as well. There were 4 of us (all adults) and it was pretty cramped. There was a small couch and a metal chair, none of which were very comfortable. The finishings and fixtures were on the cheap side (the doors felt like plywood and the front door and closet doors wouldn't close properly). Also, the windows were filthy. That may be an issue with the building owner versus Abode. The registration through Abode was clunky as well. They did email to make sure everything was ok, but the things wrong weren't things they could quickly fix. Overall it was an ok stay.

Stay in Downtown Pittsburgh

The listing for this property is just using VRBO as a platform to reach potential renters. Everything goes through ABODE, you're just paying VRBO the booking fee which is lame where you can book directly through ABODE. Anyways, the property itself I would state looks nice from the pictures but in reality it's just average IMO. There are certain upgrades that could be made to make it more pleasant. The amenities are pretty solid though. With many units in the building it can get noisy after hours. Getting to the parking lot may be confusing although detailed instructions are provided. It's close to a lot of places (restaurants, venues). All in all it's a good stay just don't have high expectations.

Downtown Pittsburgh - Centrally Located!

The property is exactly as the listing describes. Parking is also great, safe and affordable! This modern space is located in a quiet, historical building that has been very well maintained and preserved with the “historical feel” to it. You can walk throughout downtown or drive to destinations. We went to Steeler stadium on a Sunday (free parking there on Sundays!), enjoyed an early dinner at Burghatory (the most amazing burgers you’ll ever have), had fun at Shorty’s and walked around the waterfront. We also drove to the Duquesne Incline, the zoo, Phipps Conservatory, the Strip District and Lawrenceville District. Lots to do here!

Great experience and stay!

We have nothing negative to say, the property was clean and very cute. A little tricky to figure out parking and entrance for the first time but the directions were thorough and helpful. We had no issues and would stay again for sure - great location to everything, we walked to PPG paints arena and the strip district.
