This place in Squirrel Hill was incredible. A beautiful historic house with updated amenities. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were incredible, and everything was exactly as we expected. It was close enough to everything we wanted to do without needing to drive more than 15 minutes. It was much too cold to walk (9 degrees out during our stay) so I can’t attest to that since we didn’t even try but I’m sure it’s a lovely walk in the spring/summer. Would definitely staying here for any Pittsburgh trips! This house was fabulous had all the little things you expect from a vintage home, down to the creak of real wood floors, loved it, while also being styled very well. We use for a family trip and had plenty of space for everyone. The beds were very comfortable and lines so nice, kitchen had everything needed we even enjoyed the piano a couple of days. location can't be beat, so easy to get to all thing in a short drive. would recommend to anyone who has a family event and need to see the charm of Pittsburgh. It was a very comfortable and pretty place for our family to enjoy the Christmas holiday together. We really enjoyed hanging out in the living room. Nice showers and beds. Roxanne Pitts

The house was beautiful and exactly as described. The only thing I would change is bring your own pillows because the pillows were flat and uncomfortable to use
