Nice, clean rental

Everything was as described. Very happy with the cottage. Neighborhood is a bit run down, but that didn’t effect the rental or our stay.

Great location as guests to a weekend wedding event in Pittsburgh.

The apartment location was great for a weekend filled with wedding events around the city. There were many details that were were selected by the owner to make for a comfortable stay including a make-up table. Not being on a main street offered a quiet area for rest. We would suggest bringing your own pillow if you are a particular sleeper.

Perfect location in a quiet neighborhood

We loved our stay at this VRBO. The location is safe and provides easy access to running down to the Strip District. We could walk to Pittsburgh Glass in 5 minutes and to Whole Foods or Aldi in under 15 minutes. The host provides nice fans in each bedroom. On a side note, we stayed here during the 100 degree “heat bomb” and the fans were able to help the AC maintain comfortable conditions upstairs.
