About this property

Entire place

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

Comfortable home with an artful flair close to PNC, museums and restaurants..

The ArtHouse was built in the 1920's and welcomes you with a spacious covered front porch, a small yard. Colorful art from around the globe will make you feel at home in this cozy corner of Pittsburgh. Natural light fills the comfortable living room that flows into the dining room and kitchen on the first floor. The dining table is large enough to seat 6 or more and there is a kitchen island for extra table surface/serving area. The kitchen has natural butcher block counter tops, turquoise folk art and a view of the back yard off the back porch. You will find flatware, dishes and cooking utensils to accommodate most of your cooking and dining needs.There is a Keurig coffee machine.

Upstairs are two bedrooms and a sitting room with a futon bed. One queen sized bed, one full sized bed and the sitting room has lots of games to choose from. There is Wifi available for work and entertainment. Sleep will be a dream on the delightful Nectar mattresses, total blackout shades and ceiling fans adding to your sleeping comfort. A recently renovated full bath is located upstairs and a Pittsburgh Potty is in the basement.

This house has historic charm - if you're looking for a new construction stay - this might not be the place for you. The convenient East Liberty location is close to the zoo, aquarium, Highland Park, many universities, the Strip, restaurants, grocery store options and so much more!

Awesome
Excellent property and location. Had a problem getting into the property and the host was immediately helpful. It was completely my fault. There was a power outage because of an accident down the street. Host did everything she could. It would have been perfect if all the windows had screens and there were flashlights at the ready. That is my only recommendation going forward!

A great property!
We had a wonderful stay. The house was in pristine condition when we checked in, the beds were very comfortable, and the house was nicely decorated. There was plenty of space and everything we needed for supplies in the kitchen and plenty of clean towels, which were a nice touch! Parking was easy to find, and the house has a nice little yard area. Janet was very friendly and the check in and check out processes were a breeze! I tend to have high standards with where I stay, and this property definitely exceeded those. I would definitely book this house for a future stay in Pittsburgh. Thanks Janet!!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Pictures are old and filtered. They do not properly represent the property. The house smelled moldy/musty upon arrival. We bombed it with most of a can of lysol. The house immediately failed expectations. However we were choosing to make the best of it. Even after the neighbor (it's a duplex, you share a wall and porch) stood in her doorway and stared at us. We smiled and waved/said hello. We were returned with a blank peering stare and no response. We trudeged on. None of this was going to ruin our vacation....right? It makes for a funny story to remember....right? UNTIL we saw roaches. NOPE, NOT OK. THEN we lost power! One of our guest had a medical device requiring power. We spent most of day 2 of a 3 day trip scrambling to find an acceptable place to stay. The host was non responsive. The neighborhood is sketchy. Then had to spend extra money due to new accommodations. Currently requesting a full refund. Save your money and your vacation...do not book here!

Super clean, very comfortable, and great location
The place was the perfect size for my group of friends. It was an easy location to have as our homebase as we explored. Pittsburgh and I especially enjoyed getting up early and climbing up to the Garfield community garden at the top of the hill. Everything was just as described, and it’s a place I would definitely recommend to others looking for a comfortable space to enjoy Pittsburgh from

We were in town for the Taylor Swift concert and had a nice stay at Janet's place. The house was spacious and comfortable. The only con I would say is that the area was not very walkable.

We ended up coming to town during the Marathon weekend. It was not ideal since we wanted to get to the strip but it was not feasible for getting out of town. We enjoyed the VRBO we chose, quiet neighborhood and easy to get around.

Some friends and I had a great stay here. The location is perfect to get to Highland Park/East Liberty/Shadyside or over the hill to Lawrenceville. The house was clean and we enjoyed using the kitchen to cook some meals. We will definitely stay here again when in town to visit family.

Well decorated!
The best parts about this stay are the very comfortable beds (although they might be a bit tight for 2 sleepers), quality AC units in bedrooms, beautiful decor, easy-to-use security system, Netflix in the living room, and we never had an issue parking outside. I am happy we stayed here.

Felt like home
We had such a wonderful stay at Janet’s place. The proximity to Whole Foods, restaurants, Target, Trader Joe’s was invaluable while we had to move our son into school. Fully stocked with fresh and clean linens and towels, washer and dryer, detergent, toaster, dishwasher, gas stove, microwave and coffee makers - we did not miss a thing. We had a few warm days but we never even used the window A/C downstairs - she has two bedrooms upstairs with window A/C units which came in handy a few nights. Five stars all around! Thank you Janet!

Nice house
We stayed for a month with two small kids. The garden and patio were nice to play. The house was comfy and Janet was quick to help us with questions and needs we had. We do think the pictures are a little flattering, the house does have neighbors and is not very big. At the time of our stay the third bedroom was not equipped for a long stay, with an old couch and lack of a fan. She did tell us she worked on our feedback.

Home away from home
This home is just a half mile from where our daughter,her husband an our grandchildren live so we selected it because it was walking distance to their house. We were there for just shy of a week during the Christmas holiday. When we walked in we were surprised to see the owner had installed a lovely faux birch tree that was lit up with little white lights. It set the holiday tone and helped make the living room even more elegant. Janet was available by phone at all times if we needed her. The kitchen was well stocked with even a small cusinart which I used to chop nuts for one the two family dinners I cooked while we were there. There were enough dishes and silverware etc to be able to cook salmon wellington for 8 and sit comfortably around the table. Our grandkids loved the games. I loved the fact that there were three bedrooms, fluffy white towels and lots of room to spread out. My husband and I stayed there but next time my grand daughter wants to stay there with us too. It was the perfect location for our family… and for a nice run to Highland Park around the reservoir. We will definitely be staying there again.

The perfect little home away from home
This was the perfect space for our family to stay when visiting relatives in Pittsburgh. The location was very convenient. The rooms were comfortable and the whole place was tidy and equipped with the essentials. When I had some challenges opening the front door, Janet was very kind and responsive and even sent her son-in-law over to help fix the door that night. We would definitely recommend to others, including those with small kids.
