About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Best Location & Neighborhood (2.5 to Downtown PGH)

Walking distance to various restaurant & bars, as well as to a pool hall, movie theater, and break out room. 3 minute drive or 10 minute transit trolley ride to the city for Heinz field, PNC park and museums! You’ll love my place because of convenience, the comfy beds, the high ceilings, the kitchen, the coziness. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets).
We do provide cable and wifi access. The apartment is located on the 2nd and third floor. There is a completely separate apartment on the first floor. The only common area is the front door and the laundry room.

Great Spacious Place

This property was very well kept with plenty of space. If you rent the upstairs unit you get to park in the driveway. The location is great and the communication with the property owner is quick. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance and it is close to downtown. I would definitely stay here again.

coming home.

We were coming back home to visit family and wanted something better than a hotel room. We found this property and it was right in the middle of everything we needed to do the whole process went smoothly and contributed to having a great vacation.

Pittsburgh Weekend Visit

This homestay suited my family's needs during a long weekend visit. It is within a quiet neighborhood. Dining places within walking distance and grocery stores close by. We loved that the drive to the city was easy and quick.

Comfortable and clean

We had an amazing night in this property. It was cozy and quiet. I felt safe and comfortable. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The only things i can say that could have been better was coffee and creamer wouldve been a nice touch, and the toilet malfunctioned right from the start, so that was a bit inconvenient. But other than that we would definitely stay here again!

Hockey tournament

We're from West Virginia and made the trip up to Dormont. We finally got to see our NJ grandson play ice hockey! Three games were at the Ice Castle Arena only a few miles away.

Long weekend in Dormont

This would be a great rental for someone with a pet, but I wish it was a bit cleaner. Had a dog smell - but it’s clearly listed as pet friendly. Host had forgotten our reservation but so apologetic and communicative it was barely a hiccup. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a walkable neighborhood and you need a pet friendly spot!

Off street parking nice to have; host responsive; apartment clean; beds comfortable; kitchen well stocked; take note that bedroom on third floor has to come to second floor to use bathroom; window a/c unit not installed in 3rd floor at the time of our stay but most nights were cool enough with window fan

Convenient location without downtown price

A really nice upstairs half of a duplex in a charming neighborhood very convenient to bus and light rail. Plenty of restaurant options and a great little downtown in walking distance. Nice amenities like wireless chargers in headboard and a great shower. Tasteful decor. Comfy bed. It was a little dusty on the headboards but that's the only issue. Clear check in instructions.

I concur with others that Russell's place provided a very nice stay. My sisters and I came home to visit family in the South Hills area. Cute space, Great location with some nice walkable restaurants. Be careful the shower is very slippery.
