We came to Pittsburgh for a wedding and this house was the perfect place to stay. It was close to everywhere we needed to go, very clean and comfortable and the coffee bar area was amazing! Tom was a great host. He made sure we had everything we needed, gave us suggestions on local places to visit and eat and was just an all around friendly guy. We would definitely rent from Tom again!

We stayed here the week leading up to my wedding! Coming from out of town, we needed a place we could spread out and organize decorations before dropping off at the venue. The house was very spacious, clean, and was a great location for all the trips we had to make for last minue details. The host was very quick to answer our questions and accommodating of our needs. I would definitely recommend!!

Amazing family-friendly stay!

We were in Pittsburgh for a long weekend with my toddler and parents for a wedding, and this was the PERFECT place to stay. Tom was so welcoming and gave us great recommendations for where to eat within walking distance, and the house has everything you could possibly need. It was definitely a home away from home and we will definitely make this our go-to on our next trip to Pittsburgh.

Perfect Pittsburgh Reunion

Everything from the ample off street parking to the to the comfy beds and stocked coffee bar was perfect for a reunion in our old hometown. And with it being within a short walking distance to restaurants and a grocery store we had all the conveniences of home. I highly recommend this spacious and very clean home.

Let me also point out its centralized location, just perfect to see the many things my hometown of Pittsburgh has to offer. Thank you Tom, it was better than I could have anticipated.

Perfect Pittsburgh location

This is a wonderful house, with space for 10 and a gracious and thoughtful host. House was spotless, stocked with coffees and very comfortable. Guests must be okay with stairs! If you want a great location for museums, restaurants and even parks/pool for kids, this is it. My family enjoyed their stay and we visited lots of nearby museums. Walkable area surrounds the house. Enjoy! This house would also work for small work teams traveling together.

Family Wedding Weekend

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Tom's VRBO for our sons wedding. I can't say enough about how kind and attentive Tom was throughout our stay, making sure we were comfortable and had all the information we needed for a smooth and fun visit. The house itself has everything you would ever need, plenty of space for everyone and extras that made it feel like home. The neighborhood is safe, central and easy to walk to shops, restaurants and things to do. This was the nicest rental we have ever stayed and hope to stay there again for graduation in a couple of years!!!

Wonderful Home in Shadyside

This home is clean, comfortable, big enough for a large family, well appointed, and in a great location. While I recognize that others might not like to walk as much as we do, many of the places we wanted to go in Shadyside, Oakland, and Bloomfield were walkable for us. Also, there's a grocery store right around the corner. The host was fantastic, too. What we asked for, we got. I would certainly book here again.

Perfect Getaway

Our group had a great time at Tom’s beautiful home in Pittsburgh. The place was clean and gorgeously decorated with a modern feeling. Communication was super easy and quick and everything looks exactly like it does in the pictures. There were many thoughtful touches and special amenities including the beautiful coffee bar, multiple charging stations, and bedside sound machines! The neighbourhood is quiet, safe and very conveniently located so you can walk to restaurants and shops. Would absolutely stay there again and I highly recommend this property!

Excellence in All Aspects

We travel at least one week a month and stay in bnbs from Maine coast to California vineyards. The home was the highest quality, and the host was the most responsive and helpful I have ever experienced. The home perfectly accommodated three adult families and a toddler. We all had privacy and beautiful spaces to be alone or together. Everything we needed was included. Comfortable, perfectly clean, and the best location in Pittsburgh…we have visited here for years. Walk to restaurants, groceries, and sights. Stayed here a week while preparing and attending our daughter’s wedding. You will appreciate everything about this bnb. Don’t hesitate to book it. You will be thankful you did!

Wow!

Fantastic property! Fit all our needs. Plenty of space, plenty of bathrooms and the AC worked great! It was so clean and homey. Every detail was perfect! Kitchen was equipped better than my own home! Just wish it had a pizza oven. Oh wait! It did!! Coffee bar room? Yes! With 4 coffee makers! The large (beautiful) dining room and table was perfect for us all to sit together and eat The 1/2 bath downstairs was just what we needed. All the bathrooms were amazing! I can’t express how much we enjoyed this house! Great area with a grocery store right around the corner and plenty of walkable restaurants. Owner could not be any nicer and accommodating! Easy to text with and made us feel so at home! It was so nice to have a washer and dryer to use as we were traveling with a potty training toddler! Have I said how clean this place was?? Amazing! Thank you so much for making our long weekend easy, comfortable and relaxing!!

Spacious house with excellent features and host!

10/10 Vrbo experience! My party included 6 adults and 3 children (one being a young toddler) meeting up for a family get together. This space was perfect for our large group and very family friendly. They had a crib, baby monitor, changing table, and high chair, which made traveling with a toddler so much easier. Additionally, there was plenty of space, big beds, and features such as TVs in the bedrooms, several phone/tablet charging stations, plenty of bathrooms, and a fully stocked coffee/tea station that became a group favorite. Also, cannot speak highly enough about the host, Tom, who was very communicative, easy to reach, and went above and beyond (stocking the fridge with our preferred creamer, providing passes to the natural history museum). The house is in a great walkable area right by several grocery stores. Property is as great as it looks in the picture and next time we are in Pittsburgh we definitely will try to stay here again!

This Home is a Gem

We were in town for a family event, grandparents, parents, and two grandchildren under 1, and this house could not have been more perfect. Plenty of seating and room for everyone. The host went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed for the babies. He also had many nice touches for the adults!! You wake up to so many coffee selections in the morning, even a Frother! The kitchen has everything you need. We had umbrella's available for the rainy Pittsburgh weather and at the end of the day you retire to very comfortable beds! This home is the perfect place to stay while visiting Pittsburgh, if it's available for your dates treat yourself and stay here!

PITTSBURGH WEDDING WEEKEND

We were in Pittsburgh for our son's wedding, this house was AMAZING!!. Even before we checked in Tom was in contact to explain the check in process. This house is beautifully decorated, everything you could possibly need during your stay is provided, even extra touches, creamers, coffees, waters, homemade biscotti. Tom checked with us to see if we needed anything, he is such a gracious host. The location was ideal, we walked to Shadyside shopping and dining area within minutes. This house suited us perfectly. We can not say enough about the kindness of Tom, he even provided us with extra parking during the weekend. We hope to return again because this was ideal in every possible way!!!

The Best!

Tom's Shadyside house is the best! We were in Pittsburgh for our son's wedding, and this house delivered! Thursday night we had out-of-town friends over for take-out Thai food and the dining room table accommodated all 10 of us. (A real dining room!) Friday, all the rest of the family arrived, and everyone settled into the 4 comfortable bedrooms, including a one-year-old. (Tom has everything for infants and toddlers), and parking for 4 cars. Saturday we had plenty of full bathrooms (3) for everyone to get ready for the wedding. And Sunday morning, extended family from both the bride and groom's side came over for coffee (the Coffee Room is amazing, with every coffee maker imaginable) and food (Giant Eagle Marketplace grocery store is less than a block away.). There is so much room in this house's first floor for impromptu entertaining: 3 comfortable couches in the living room, a big dining room table with seating for ten, and a gracious kitchen island with three stools for sitting or standing around and talking. By noon Sunday, after an amazing fun gracious weekend, the crowds were gone and my husband and I relaxed for two days and enjoyed the house's comfort, location (walked less than a block for Middle Eastern food to go, just one of the options within 2 blocks)(Shadyside is the best!), and hospitality (Tom, the host, gave us passes to the Carnegie Museums of Art and Natural History). This house has everything: Location (Shadyside), Comfort, and a gracious attentive host.
