The bustling Strip District, known for its unique shopping and dining experiences, is easily accessible, and the heart of Downtown Pittsburgh is just a stone's throw away. The neighborhood is also family-friendly, with the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh nearby, adding to its appeal.

Adding to the experience is your host, Ellie, a small business owner who lives next door. Through her business 'Derive Home,' she specializes in event rentals, design, and custom laser engraving.

A beautifully renovated home that comfortably sleeps 8. It's a culinary adventure waiting to happen in one of the city's most vibrant neighborhoods.

Pittsburgh is a food lover's paradise, boasting a variety of outstanding restaurants. A few of my personal favorites include Fig and Ash for their inventive American cuisine, Federal Galley with its diverse food hall experience, the authentic flavors of Nicki's Thai Kitchen, and the innovative dishes at Scratch Food and Beverage.

For those seeking a taste of authentic Hungarian cuisine, the area does not disappoint. Moreover, Pittsburgh Magazine's recent highlights add to the culinary richness of the neighborhood. Places like 40 North at Alphabet City, Alta Via Ristorante, and Back to the Foodture offer diverse dining experiences. The Butterjoint and Casbah are perfect for an upscale evening out, while DiAnoia’s Italian Eatery and Eleven Contemporary Kitchen present exquisite Italian and contemporary dishes, respectively.

Everyday Noodles serves up delightful Asian fare, and Moonlit Burgers is a must-visit for burger enthusiasts. Pusadee’s Garden is known for its lush setting and Thai cuisine, while Sally Ann’s offers a cozy and welcoming dining atmosphere. For a unique culinary experience, Scratch & Co. and The Speckled Egg provide an eclectic mix of flavors.

Another gem in Lawrenceville is Wildcard, known for its eclectic selection of whimsical cards, clothing, and original art prints. It's a haven for those seeking one-of-a-kind gifts and treasures, embodying the creative spirit of Pittsburgh.

For art enthusiasts, Contemporary Craft in Upper Lawrenceville is an unmissable spot.

Perfect Location in Pittsburgh

We loved our stay at Rare Oasis. The home had everything we needed! The host lives next door and was quick to respond to my questions. There is plenty of parking behind for two cars. The home was very clean and decorated beautifully. We walked to the strip district for coffee and shopping. We came for the Penguins game and it was a quick Uber ride to the stadium. I really appreciated all the extra linens in the hall closet.

Pittsburgh RowHouse

We enjoyed staying at this beautifully decorated 3 leveled home. Lovely mirrors throughout the first floor. Kitchen was cozy and well equipped. Each bedroom had its own unique style. It was very close to our excursions downtown. The only negative was the very narrow and long staircases Up to each level.These were difficult to maneuver for ladies over 64 years of age. We still really enjoyed our stay!

We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Historic Rowhouse

I was not necessarily familiar with the term "historic rowhouse" and it would have been helpful to have a few more details on what that means. And it would have been nice to know more details about the neighborhood of the location. There was nothing wrong at all but more details and info would have set expectations better.

Bike trip finale

My college friends and I stayed at the rowhouse on the last night of a 5-day bike trip from Washington, DC, to Pittsburgh. The host was very accommodating and offered to let us store our bikes on her back porch. The house was impeccably clean and well-appointed with ample room for the six of us. We took an Uber to a great restaurant and brewhouse in a church but could have easily walked 30 minutes over the bridge to the Downtown area. It was a great end to an amazing trip.

About the host

Hosted by Ellie Harward

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Ellie

A bit about me…
I purchased the house next door in December of 2018. Sometime though the middle of 2019 my neighbor voiced that he was going to be placing this house on the market. Even though I was still full swing in the middle of renovations at my house, I knew I had to take the plunge. I come from a very large family (14 siblings) and loved the idea of having the space when I host and can have the spaces together if I ever had someone wanting to be in Pittsburgh. Plus, I have a huge passion for design, and creating items for the home.

I am both an interior decorator, party planner as well as lover of all things vintage- so expect to find lots of charming fun decor. I have recently embarked on the small business journey and provide additional services that include party decoration for birthdays, bridal parties, and all life’s special events. You will see some photos through listing of what I create, I absolutely love to help guests make special occasions come alive- so just reach out if you need help!

Why they chose this property

This authentic, cozy home in East Deutschtown is nestled between Allegheny Commons Park and Interstate 279 and is one of the closest neighborhoods to downtown Pittsburgh. Both PNC Park and Heinz Field are within 1.5 miles.
Walk across the 16th Street bridge into the Strip district to see the vibrant shopping, fresh fish market, and a excellent selection of dining options

What makes this property unique

Thank you for choosing my home!

I hope you find it warm, inviting and full of charm. I have spent a lot of hours devoted to making it a little sanctuary for those spending time here. It is of healthy age, has authentic pine floors, lots of character and is one of my pride and joys.

I try to make sure you have an authentic Airbnb experience with extra services available upon request. If you are looking for a hotel vibe, this is not the house for you. It has all the traits of old rowhouses with modern additions.

In addition to being a wonderful place to lay your head, I am a local small business owner that specializes in custom gifts and personalized laser engravings.

Some of the services I offer you will see in this packet but include special occasion decor, planning, and gifts. I create custom laser etches family and travel memorabilia.

The neighborhood includes restaurants & bars, grocery and hardware stores, clothing boutiques, a post office, a gift shop, banks, salons, a bakery… and the list goes on!

Our home sits on Vinial St with a popular local brewery at end. There is plenty you can walk to, if you enjoy walking. Otherwise, within a mile you have a wealth of cuisines that you will see listed further down this packet.


Please do not hesitate to contact me for any questions or concerns you may have during your stay! I absolutely want to ensure you have a 5 star stay!
