"This house was amazing and absolutely perfect for our needs. It was literally brand new from to to bottom, paint, flooring, furniture, appliances, decor, beds, linens, dishes, trash cans, you name it. The four bedrooms were each spacious. The host provided lots of extra amenities like laundry baskets in each room, tooth brush holders, bottled water cold in the frig. We gathered there to be close to Kennywood and to the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival. It was conveniently located between them...
