Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire home with NO shared space.

The Neighborhood:
Overall it is a quiet neighborhood.

The neighborhood boasts of numerous parklet playgrounds, the Carnegie Library of Carrick, historic Phillips Park (comprising walking paths, a disc golf course, a recreation center and swimming pool) and Volunteers Field (comprising a baseball-only field and a multipurpose athletic field). Carrick is also the home to Emma Lazarus Sensory Garden, where the Columbia of Carrick mural by Brian Gonnella is located.

In 1997, Carrick was named the first "Cool Community" in the northern United States by the U.S. Department of Energy. "Cool Community" is a national recognition program for strategic treeplanting for energy conservation purposes. Partnering with conservation organizations, community groups worked to weatherize homes and businesses, plant trees and flowers, and add elements of "green building" to the renovation of Carrick High School.

Getting Around:
You could Uber or use the bus line, but I recommend having your own vehicle.

Great stay

The house was clean and well kept. Overall it was a 5 star stay, just a few little things we noticed. The stairs to the basement are a concussion machine if you're not used to ducking (I'm 5'6) and the stairs to the property have a lip at the top that's hard to see in the snow. Hosts provided labeled spots for items which is nice and provided many items for use around the house. They were communicative throughout the whole process and even allowed us to extend our stay when we needed to. Our cats even liked the house, despite a lot of things (stairs, ceiling fans, etc) being new to our one cat.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Wilson

Host profile image
Hey! My name is Sarah, and I would love to host you at one of our amazing properties! I am a resident of the neighborhood and just a few short blocks away with my Labradoodle wolfhound Copper! We love this city and are always happy to share it with new people! On the weekends you will usually find us around the Mount Washington area, either walking one of the many hiking trails in the Mount or just up Grandview Avenue (best view of the Burgh). My family is from Pittsburgh, but I have always loved to travel. I moved to Nashville and toured the country singing with my band. It was amazing, but all good things come to an end so I got my business degree. I lived in Australia for a while too! This world has so many amazing places to go - I still have a very VERY long list. Even with all of that, my heart is still here in Pittsburgh, so this where I started my business and now call home. Thanks for taking some more time to check the place and my profile! Please reach out with any questions!
