We were in town for the Paul McCartney concert. We stayed at Corey's place for a few days. It was excellent. The location can't be beat, literally 15 mins to the arena, and other museums and attractions. The beds were comfy, and our son loved the 3rd floor bedrooms, like a little retreat for him. Would definitely stay again, next time we're in Pittsburgh

Thank you so much for staying and for the wonderful review! I’m glad the location worked perfectly for the concert and that you found the beds comfortable. It’s great to hear your son enjoyed the third-floor space — it really does feel like its own little retreat. I’d be happy to host you again next time you’re in Pittsburgh!
Accommodations were perfect. Neighborhood was very quiet. Close to downtown and various locations. Very clean and plenty of room for everyone. Would definitely stay again!
It was a good place to stay overall. The furniture in the living room was not the most comfortable, so hanging out with family there was not the greatest, but it was a good place to land while exploring Pittsburgh.
The house was what we needed for a family get together. the large dining table accommodated all of us and we were able to walk to a nice view of the city. A bit more attention should be paid to the sheets, towels and condition of the mmattresses. Overall we had a nice stay.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear that the home suited your family gathering and that you enjoyed the dining space and nearby views.
We sincerely apologize if the linens and mattresses did not meet expectations. Guest comfort is very important to us, and we will be reviewing the condition of these items to ensure they are up to standard. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our space for future guests.
We appreciate you choosing to stay with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide a much better experience in the future.

Great host. Very accommodating. Nice house. Carpets need a good cleaning and front walkway needs a bit of repair. Great location for walking to some restaurants, bakeries, the incline, etc.
Charming property with a lot of character. Great location; short drive to downtown and restaurants. Host regularly checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Furniture could be upgraded as there were some water stains. Overall would stay again.
We chose this house based on the location near Grandview Park. The house was comfortable and suited our needs for a short trip. Everyone had their own space which always helps make a vacation go smoothly! We didn’t have a car this trip but there was always parking available when my oldest son, who lives nearby, came to pick us up.

Great place! Highly recommended!
We had such a nice weekend in Pittsburgh, and this property was a huge contributor to our positive experience! It was easy to check in and check out, it was clean and it was ready for us when we arrived. There were simple instructions for WiFi and the television. The location was convenient to everywhere we needed to go. And Corey was SUPER helpful and responsive- before and after our stay. We didn’t actually need to communicate while we were there! I would absolutely recommend staying here and will book again upon my return to Steel City!

Thank you so much Megan! Looking forward to hosting you again :)
Our stay was extremely smooth and easy to navigate. The host replied quickly when we noticed we had run out of trash bags. They personally dropped off a new set for us. Great place for a large group!
The place was what we needed, plenty of room and a good kitchen. There's a leak in the roof so the stairs leading to the top floor were wet anytime it rained. The 2 top floor bedrooms get very cold so we had to borrow a space heater. We otherwise enjoyed our stay.

Thanks for the review Tim. There was a roof leak at the time of Tim's stay. We currently have the roof on the schedule to be replaced so that should not be an issue moving forward. We have not heard of guests having issues getting the upstairs warm in the past.
Lovely place, everything it states on the description. Fun location on the hill top. Clean and newly remodeled. Wonderful place for a large family get away.
I really enjoyed by stay at this property. We were in town for a concert and stayed two nights. There was plenty of linens, amenities, beds, bathrooms, and space for five people. The house is nice, clean and comfortable with a back deck. I liked the location pretty well. It was in close proximity to local restaurants and the overlook of the city. It was easy getting downtown also. We found two parking spots right in front of the house. It beat staying in an expensive hotel hands down! I would stay here again and recommend it to others. Thanks Corey.
Stayed for weekend with a group of 6. Was perfect size for the group. Deck was really nice. Gorgeous views of the city only a block away. Great breakfast and coffee places a few blocks away. Highly recommend
We enjoyed our stay at this rental property. Renovations were done tastefully. Kitchen was spacious. Large dining room table easily sat10 people. Family room provided ample space for card games, conversation. Bathrooms were clean. Location provided fairly quick access to the downtown area. Only drawback were the uncomfortable beds. Some of the mattresses were hard, and made for a restless sleep. Despite that, I would recommend this property.
We had high hopes for this property. We were traveling to Pittsburgh to visit family and needed a place to stay with our small children. Upon entering the property we noticed heavy evidence of lingering cigarette smoke. There were exposed nails all over the floor boards. We first noticed these when one of our children got stuck on a nail and scratched her leg. The basement door was off its hinges and open for anyone to fall down the basement stairs. The back door did not lock securely and the slats in the back deck were wide enough for a kid to fall through. The cleaning supplies were tucked behind a curtain that was easy to get to and not safe or secure in any way. Both the property manager and VRBO have been extremely difficult to work with in issuing us any refund after we deemed it not safe to stay with our children. This property would be fine for college kids who don’t need to worry about the safety and security of small people. It is NOT family friendly. Very disappointed in this property and VRBO.

Unfortunately this review is filled with dishonest remarks and lies. As a professional host I do everything I can to ensure guests stays are comfortable and enjoyable. This property is highly reviewed (4.7 Stars with 60+reviews) on Airbnb. We have hosted numerous families who have enjoyed the space with their children.
Many of the issues raised are just not true, the property did not smell like smoke our cleaners are trained to run an air purifier immediately if smoke is detected (guest breaking house rules). All of the doors are in fact on their hinges. The rear deck door sometimes sticks in the hot weather, and the slats on the back deck are built to code – 4” on center for all spacing. We do store our cleaning supplies in a closet, and there was a small nail pop on a transition strip leading to the rear deck that has been repaired.
We strive to provide quality stays for our guests so that they feel the property is a “home away from home.” If any issues are raised for our properties we have a maintenance team that can stop by within hours to make repairs. Our cleaners utilize a checklist when they clean the property to inspect for issues so that they can be dealt with preemptively. We hope that you take this review as an outlier for this property and not the norm.
