Parking is a free! We provide instructions for obtaining a digital parking permit for any number of vehicles. You’ll park in the zoneGG located directly in front of the home or within one block.
Filtered Water We provide a refrigerator for your use, but we do not stock filtered water. This is because most standard refrigerator or pitcher filters do not effectively purify the water—they primarily improve taste and odor without removing many contaminants. In our own home, we use reverse osmosis (RO) filtration, which provides a much higher level of water purity. RO systems remove a wide range of impurities, including heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride, and other dissolved solids that basic filters can't. When we travel, we personally purchase reverse osmosis water from the store to ensure we're drinking the cleanest water possible. If high-quality filtered water is important to you, we recommend picking up a few gallons of RO water nearby during your stay.
Interaction with Guests: Rank One Stays offers 24/7 virtual concierge service to support you with check-in, answer questions, and assist you with your needs. We also maintain a dedicated team of local staff, available for any in-person assistance you may require.

Incredibly clean, absolutely lives up to the photos, host was responsive, location is great (safe and close to things), easy parking, the list goes on and on. I would hands-down recommend this place to anyone whether it’s a couples get away, a gathering of friends, or parents doing a stay-cation with their kiddos.

The house was amazing. So comfortable for the four of us. We had some trouble with the wifi, but called the property manager and we fixed it quickly.
Walking distance, both up the hill and down the hill, from some fantastic shops and places to eat.

Truly memorable stay. Everything was absolutely delightful and well-maintained. If anything, the listing under-promises. What an absolutely magical place. We sincerely appreciate all the time and thought that went into the design.And it wasn't just the amenities. The kitchen was fully stocked with plates, cutlery, and coffee/espresso makers; and the washer/dryer included detergent (which was a life-saver after our kiddo got their clothes soaked at the Children's Museum).I can't recommend this property highly enough.

The creativity in the decor of this property is amazing! You can’t have a bad Monday staying here just makes you smile! It was a fun experience and set up provides plenty of privacy for 2 people!

Had a great time seeing friends and the sights of the city! Central location to all the fun - and always a street parking spot to be found in front of home. The property didn’t disappoint - super clean, comfortable for the whole family. Great place to relax after a busy day and the Willy Wonka theme was on point! I recommend watching the movie - you will appreciate the attention to detail!

Brought 5 girls into the city to stay for 13 year old birthday. They were so excited about the house and loved all of the Willy wonka details. The only thing we couldn’t figure out was how to start the dishwasher but the check in process was easy and free parking was available in front. It was imaginative and fun for kids!

Modern and clean with each bedroom having a full bath. The house was very quiet. The Willy Wonka decor is unusual endearing. Possibly because we arrived mid-week, we had a quick response from the City of Pittsburgh approving the variance request for parking on the street. If you're arriving on a Friday, you might send a request before you arrive.
We would definitely rent this place again!

We came into town for the Taylor Swift concert. Our stay at this property was fantastic. I took my two daugthers and their best friends. The house is obviously fun but it is also well laid out, very clean, updated with beautiful bathrooms and amenities. The bathrooms and kitchen are well appointed. The plush towels and nice toiletries made it feel like a luxury hotel. The neighborhood was safe and located near everything we needed. Parking was easy and convenient. All communication with the owner/manager were very quick and helpful. We would stay here again and highly recommend it.

We stayed at the Willy Wonka-themed property for an overnight trip to the Pittsburgh area. The house was awesome! The kids had an absolute blast checking out all the surprises the property had to offer. They spent a lot of time enjoying the atmosphere and playing the arcade game. The property had everything available that we could’ve needed, and Brandon was a wonderful host. He was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions I had. We truly enjoyed our stay and the Willy Wonka experience. It is definitely one of a kind! We look forward to staying here again when we can come back and stay longer. 😊

Overall we were satisfied staying 4 nights at this property. We were a group of 5 adults and 3 children. There were ample bathrooms.
One critique is not having a comfortable/spacious couch to relax on. The couch is small and only accommodates two adults.
Another is the top bunk mattress is so thick that it comes flush with the metal that is supposed to keep the person from rolling off during sleep. I wouldn't let my son sleep up there, or anyone.
The location is great and it has a nice kitchen. Check-in, parking, etc, was a breeze.

This place was simply magical! Our 5, 6, and 11-year-olds were in heaven, and even our 13-year-old begrudgingly acknowledged the unique features. Whimsical and fun decor, surprises around every turn, and clean and comfortable accommodations. I couldn’t recommend this highly enough for a family.
