Positive Experience
The house was very convenient in location in Carnegie; the layout of the house was very nice for our family. We had a slight issue with the AC not being on when we arrived and it took over a day for the house to cool down; however, there were no other issues with AC after that. Big thanks to the property manager for the support and communication there. As a sidebar, I would also recommend replacing the carpet in the side room, as there was a bit of a pet odor. Overall though, the beds were relatively comfortable, the kitchen and appliances were great, and the backyard was a huge plus for our little one. Parking on the street was very easy.

Good location for city activities, older home with minor issues
Close proximity to the city. We really enjoyed the back yard. It is not fully fenced but with the shrubbery as a physical barrier we had no trouble with our dog running loose in the back yard. We had a few minor issues in the house. There was a broken window latch. The owner did order a new one but since our stay was only 2 nights it was not able to be repaired during our stay. We could only find 4 washcloths for our group of 6. Again, the owner was made aware and is planning on bringing more. Unfortunately it could not be corrected during our stay. Fortunately, there was laundry so we washed and dried so we would have enough for everyone. We could not locate the futon that was in the description. One bedroom is downstairs (very steep stairway) and 2 are upstairs on the main floor. If anyone in your group has mobility issues the basement bedroom would be difficult. The downstairs door to the back yard was difficult to latch. That door latch needs work to feel secure. The door code was very generic. I am hoping it gets changed every time. The place was relatively clean and cozy. Overall, it met our needs.

Very nice redecorating and comfy
The property was very nice. The check in/out could not be any easier. The redecorating on this early to mid century house is very up to date and stylish, with durable materials and lots of stone, granite, or ceramic tile. You could comfortably stay here for days, weeks, or months, with a Lowes, Walmart, and ShopnSave minutes away. There are several good restaurants within walking distance, and the back yard was great for pets compared to the small and overused patches of grass when staying at traditional hotels.

Pittsburgh for Concert at Pavilion at Star Lake
Cute house. Had amenities that we needed. Close to airport (18 min) and Pavilion at Star Lake (30 min to concert). Stopped by Carnegie Coffee Shop on way out which was really nice. Italian restaurant close by but couldn’t go because it was closed on Tuesdays.

My 3 daughters, grandson & I had a great stay. Place was immaculately clean, kitchen well equipped and location was convenient to everything we had planned to do on our trip. And- bonus… I slept like a baby. Bed was comfy & neighborhood was quiet.

Great experience!
This was a perfect spot for our family of 6 (with 4 young kids) to stay while traveling for a conference in the area. Updated kitchen and bathroom, and very clean feel throughout. Beds were comfortable, all essentials provided. Tastefully decorated with a minimalist approach (cozy, but not cluttered at all). Brandi was very responsive and friendly when we needed to contact her regarding a question about check-in. My only suggestion is that the check-in procedure, key code, and lock-box location be made more clear on the Vrbo confirmation email. Overall a great experience, and a hundred times better than a hotel!

Pittsburgh Trip
The house and owner were wonderful. The house is small, and in a diverse neighborhood with charming working class small town and Main Street. Back yard great for dogs, but access is through Basement or gate in front of house, so you can't just open one door and let them out. An observation, not a complaint. Well worth the money, totally renovated and nice.

Perfect Pittsburgh Stop
We just needed a house that would accomodate our three kids and our new dog for a quick stop. Having originally grown up in the Carnegie area I knew the neighborhood. It's cleanliness and convenience to the city more than made up for the lack of scenic views. If we visit again - we would absolutely stay here!

One headache after another. Lingering odors. Constant inconvenience.ience.
We are previous Vrbo renters who have had good to exceptionally good experiences in the past. Our troubles at this property began when I lit the oven on our second day, of a 5 week stay. The stench of rodent urine and feces, and possibly roasted rodents, was overwhelming, even when we opened the windows. The freezer was sticking, and after 5 days, it wouldn't open at all, preventing us from accessing the food we had in it. In addition, a water pipe blockage in the basement created a small flood, leaving a smell of sewage. The host took remedial action in each instance, but the actions did not solve the problems for us, with the exception of the refrigerator. When I raised the subject of a refund with the host, she offered a paltry amount (not paid as of this writing.) We did not have anywhere near the experience for which we paid.

This was our first time to use a VRBO and loved the home! It was very clean and felt so cozy. The whole experience was so easy and the host was so nice and prompt at answering my questions. We are from Arizona and my teenagers have never seen a basement so they thought it was the coolest thing. I don't think we will be staying at another hotel again!
