Adorable property! Perfect location near Pitt and downtown. House was very clean and comfortable. Upstairs bedroom was a good bit warmer than first level, but overall a great stay. Parking was never an issue on the street, but you definitely need to know how to parallel park! Would absolutely stay here again!

Great stay!

We were in town for the weekend. The cottage was in an excellent location! Easy drive to Strip District, Lawrenceville, UPitt, and more. Parking was easy-never had a problem getting a spot. Neighborhood was quiet. The cottage itself was perfect for our family. Very clean, exactly as described. Checking in was seamless. We would definitely stay here again, and comfortable recommending to others!

Quaint and quiet

Great spot for a weekend in town exploring the city. Clean home. Comfy bedding. House is back off the street and pretty quiet. It is bright inside once sun comes up. Cute neighborhood. Near everything we wanted to do. Easy to park on street. Delicious breakfast nearby at Kaiburs. Host was responsive and easy to communicate with. Would absolutely stay here again.

The host was responsive when I had a question or two. I appreciated the host checking in with me making sure everything was going well. The amenities and the cleanliness of the house was great. There are two bedrooms with one bed and two foldout sofa beds that can accommodate eight people. The washer and dryer is a good feature. They worked well and are clean. Laundry detergent is supplied as well. It was nice to wash a load of clothes before heading home. I was pleasantly surprise how there wasn't fur dander throughout the house from other pets since this is a pet friendly place. The house is located up a short incline away from the street which was a nice feature. I highly recommend this dwelling.
