Immaculate, well-stocked house with comfortable beds, plenty of towels and blankets in a great location, convenient to all things in Pittsburgh. We stayed here for a graduation weekend and had plenty of room for family members who joined us. We have stayed a lot of different places, and we highly recommend this property.

This was such a charming and cozy home for us to be in New Year’s week. We were visiting family in the South Hills and this place had great location for all our planned activities! Owner left all instructions, along with any other info we may have wanted in an easy access binder. We loved the Christmas decor in the home, house was very clean and had everything we could have needed!Mary Lou was accessible whenever we had a question, and kept in touch making sure we were ok.Would recommend her home to anyone needing close access to downtown Pittsburgh, or to south hills area too!

We had the best time staying at this house. We travel as a family quite often and we all agreed that this was the nicest place that we have ever stayed in!
I was very impressed with this house. It's elegantly decorated with plenty of space for 6 people. The location was central to all of the events that were planned for the week. The host answered my questions promptly both before & during the trip. I would highly recommend this property for a stay in Pittsburgh!
We had a wonderful 4 day stay at Eclectic in Pittsburgh.The location was great for all we wanted to see and do in Pittsburgh. Mary Lou our host was great. Our group was 6 retired women who travel together. Thanks for sharing this lovely home.

We couldn't have asked for a better host and home to stay during our time in Pittsburgh. Mary Lou was such a wonderful host and her home is comfortable, clean, and has everything you would need for your stay. The beds were comfortable and location was fantastic for us. We highly recommend Mary Lou's property if you are looking for a spacious, clean, comfortable home with a fantastic host. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful home with us!!

The house was very nice and very clean you can tell the owners really care about the house and the property. The only draw back was the beds were a bit too hard.

This place was great! Beds very comfy. Loved the decor, short drives to everything. (Wished The Cardinals would have won, but that’s not Mary Lou’s fault😁) beautiful outdoor patio. Would stay again.
Loved the property, the kindness of the owners and the great proximity to all the Pittsburgh sights. The home was beautifully done, very artistic and and clean.

We loved our stay at this property! Everything was in great working order, very clean, everything we needed was there. The place is also very conveniently located, close to the city. The host was very responsive and a pleasure to communicate with. If we’re ever back in Pittsburg, we’ll be staying there again!
We traveled to attend a weekend college commencement ceremony with our two children ages two and 9 months. The baby amenities made our packing so much lighter: high chair, crib, baby gates, and pack and play all provided! Mary Lou was so hospitable and responded to every message quickly. House rules and check out were easy for us to follow with our hands full of kids. We would highly recommend Mary Lou’s property!

About the host
Hosted by Mary Lou Borchert
For over 32 wonderful years, I lived in Fortaleza in the State of Ceara, Brazil. While there, fifteen + years were spent as a restaurant entrepreneur together with a business partner. We owned two restaurants: Cafe Matisse and Le Pot. Portuguese is my second language. Now fast forward...for about 18 years, I worked as a real estate agent & am now retired. Hobbies include: cooking, E-biking with my hubby, international travel, cruising, visiting our grown "kids" & camping & exploring new adventures in our Black Series HQ21 RV! There's never a dull moment!! LIVE & LOVE YOUR LIFE! ❣️
Why they chose this property
This is our own "Home Sweet Home". Our neighborhood is considered to be friendly, quiet & walkable! We're retired and enjoy life. Thus, we decided to open our home for guests to enjoy, make memories & explore the "Burgh!" We love our space. My husband & I anticipate that our guests will be respectful & tidy. One of our favorite pastimes includes enjoying coffee or a glass of wine at the patio table, the landscaping or grilling on our flagstone patio. You'll see different birds & new flowers debut each day! The whimsical painted artifacts throughout the garden were done by my husband. His favorite passtime is working the garden & getting his hands dirty! The propane grill is older but still does a lovely job grilling steaks to burgers, pizza, etc. Visit Moore's Park where you'll find tennis, basketball & pickleball courts, a renovated public pool & sprinklers for kiddos. If you want to ride the bus, the bus stop for downtown is located about 50 steps from the house. The Boulevard offers: CVS Pharmacy, nail salons, bakeries, men's hair salon, gas station, 1st Community Bank, Cafes, Carnegie Public Library, Pitaland, & shops, At Pitaland, you can savor a delicious Gyro, Baklava, etc. Take time out to explore the boulevard. Gotta love it!
What makes this property unique
First off, this is our actual home! It's location is in the southern part, away from the hustle & bustle of larger neighborhoods, with a small town feel. In only minutes, you can arrive at Mt. Washington to check out the overlook with amazing views, walk down Shilo Street, move on to downtown Pittsburgh, take in a game in one of the stadiums, check out our museums, eateries & so much more.
