Pittsburgh RowHouse
We enjoyed staying at this beautifully decorated 3 leveled home. Lovely mirrors throughout the first floor. Kitchen was cozy and well equipped. Each bedroom had its own unique style. It was very close to our excursions downtown. The only negative was the very narrow and long staircases Up to each level.These were difficult to maneuver for ladies over 64 years of age. We still really enjoyed our stay!

Historic Rowhouse
I was not necessarily familiar with the term "historic rowhouse" and it would have been helpful to have a few more details on what that means. And it would have been nice to know more details about the neighborhood of the location. There was nothing wrong at all but more details and info would have set expectations better.

Property Needs a deep clean
This property needs a good cleaning. All vents are filthy. Oven, microwave and refrigerator/freezer were dirty. Chose to eat out instead of use the kitchen. The back of the property is a public eye sore. You will never be able to park in the front. There are 2 back spots but there are no numbers and not marked. Drove around back and couldn’t tell which house was ours so had to drive around the front to figure out which one was ours so we could park in the back. Location was great. Short Uber ride to downtown. Pittsburgh was great but this property needs some attention.

What a gem!
This is a fantastic place to stay in the Pittsburgh area. It is a very large and beautifully-decorated row house. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and found the owner to be extremely helpful and friendly. The towels were lovely and we appreciated the ample bathroom and kitchen amenities. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Very Disappointing
It's unfortunate, but my daughter and I came to look at two local colleges, and we ended up leaving early because we felt unsafe and because the unit was dirty. I am leaving this review so perhaps the host could make some improvements, because the unit could be very beautiful if improvements are made. Here is what I found to be disappointing: (1) the ventilation system was filthy. I mean filthy. Not good for health reasons. It needs to be cleaned. It was brown and just plain dirty. Plus the floors. (2) most of the windows either did not lock, or were broken. As a mom, I wanted our windows to actually lock during our stay. I also had to lock the basement door, which was open when we arrived. (3) there were no smoke detectors or CO2 detectors upstairs. Very upsetting. As a granddaughter of a fireman, this was upsetting. I think this is actually a code violation. The detector units were actually pulled from the walls in the bedrooms, and wires were hanging. (4) no warm note, or coffee or creamer, etc. As a frequent VRBO guest, In my experience, and the reason I book VRBO, it's a very nice added touch. (5) The street the unit was on was very noisy, and buses literally zoomed by all night. I understand it's a city, but the fact that the windows were broken made it worse. (6) safety to us was a factor in the location. The car in front of our unit got broken into the night before. This shortened our stay, sorry to say. I would suggest families not book here. Just my two cents.

Bike trip finale
My college friends and I stayed at the rowhouse on the last night of a 5-day bike trip from Washington, DC, to Pittsburgh. The host was very accommodating and offered to let us store our bikes on her back porch. The house was impeccably clean and well-appointed with ample room for the six of us. We took an Uber to a great restaurant and brewhouse in a church but could have easily walked 30 minutes over the bridge to the Downtown area. It was a great end to an amazing trip.

Disappointing
Let me start by saying it was a beautiful space, and that with the right attention, it would have been a nice stay. The problem was in the details. For example there was exactly one-half of one roll of toilet paper in the entire house -- not exactly idea. The towels were hidden in a closet, with nothing in the instructions to explain where they were. Several bedrooms had only overhead lights. There were other issues, but that should give the owner an idea of why it was not an ideal place for our family to stay.

Perfect place to reminisce
Ellie’s home was perfect for a reunion for myself and three best friends. It was impeccably clean and so charming; from the decor, to the comfortable beds and furniture, and all the space that you had to spread out and enjoy company. The location is fantastic as it’s only a short drive to everything and Penn Brewery is right up the street. Ellie was next door and available for anything we needed and it was wonderful to chat with her any time we crossed paths. The home is the same layout as a home we all rented in college in Oakland twenty-ish years ago, so it was a real trip being back in a home that was new to us but also felt so familiar. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay.
