Our family had a wonderful stay at this lovely, spacious, and comfy Pittsburgh retreat. Great location and great communication with the host! Would highly recommend! Thank you.
This is the best house we have stayed at in Pittsburgh and we rent a lot of houses. It was clean, well equipped and in a great location. The hosts were responsive and helpful. The location was close to grocery’s stores and restaurants. We couldn’t have asked for anything more in our stay. We will be back!

Hosting allows us to share our love for comfort, cleanliness, and connection with every guest who stays in our home.
Why they chose this property
We love the Oakland area because it’s the heart of Pittsburgh — full of life, learning, and culture. From the property, you can walk to Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, the Carnegie Museums, and Phipps Conservatory. Schenley Park’s trails, cafés, and skyline views are just a few blocks away. It’s close to everything — Downtown, Shadyside, and the North Shore — yet the tree-lined streets make it feel calm and residential.
What makes this property unique
Our home combines the charm of a classic Pittsburgh townhouse with the comfort and space of a modern retreat. With six bedrooms and four full bathrooms, it’s ideal for families, university visitors, or groups who want to stay together under one roof. The location is unbeatable — walkable to universities, museums, and parks, yet peaceful for relaxing after a busy day. Each room is thoughtfully furnished with quality linens, a well-equipped kitchen, and cozy gathering spaces that make guests feel at home the moment they arrive.
