About this property

Urban Retreat with Garage on Mt Washington

The whole group will enjoy easy access to everything Pittsburgh has to offer from this centrally located place. Steps away from a grocery store and a variety of restaurants/bars, you can also take the famous Pittsburgh Incline down to a trolley station and travel all throughout the city including to the North Shore where the stadiums and casino are located. In addition, it is a short walk to the famous city views at the Grandview Overlooks.

Walk in the front door to an open floor plan with a cozy living area with two large couches and a 65" wall mounted TV. Notice the 9 foot ceilings. A stunning dining table with 4 chairs and an arc floor lamp are located near a window overlooking the side yard. Enjoy the fantastic, modern kitchen filled with all the utensils and gear you need to cook up a master meal and drip coffee pot with complimentary coffee grounds. There is a deck off of the kitchen with two comfortable zero-gravity chairs. Head back inside and upstairs and you will find a large full bathroom with dual sinks. The bathroom's 2nd door leads to one of the entryways of the large king bedroom that includes two long closets on either side. The King bedroom features ample storage space, a ceiling fan, and a luxurious bed with two stunning lamps on either side. Head up to the 3rd floor and you will find a spacious bedroom with two single beds, up to 10' ceilings with sky light, a ceiling fan and a walk in closet. Newly purchased front-loading washer and dryer are located in the garage-level basement.

Featured Amenities

Board Games
A variety of awesome games for kids to adults and for two people to larger groups are located in the living room.

Yard
There is a yard on the side of the house making it perfect for your dog(s)!

Outdoor Furniture
The deck has two comfortable zero-gravity chairs and a table for morning coffee or late night drinks.

Coffee, tea & snacks
The townhome features a drip coffee pot with complimentary coffee grounds, a variety of tea, and light snacks for when you check-in. Note also that a grocery store is steps away so you will be able to do all of your grocery shopping quickly and easily!

Garage
The townhome has a garage for 1 vehicle and another two parking spots in the driveway straight back from the garage.

Miscellaneous
Most everything you need is included in the home such as bath towels, paper towels, toilet paper, Kleenex, dishes, glassware, kitchen utensils, pots, pans, laundry detergent, hand soap, shampoo, body wash, moisturizing cream, Q-tips, etc.

What We Don't Supply
The only things to note for most guests to bring is your toothbrush and toothpaste, and, of course, all the belongings you need or want to bring. Also, note that the house does not currently have some baby-related items, but we do have a pack 'n play type crib. If you are bringing young children please bring everything else you need for them (high chairs, gates, etc). We do include a dog gate, but that should not be used to block off toddlers at the top of steps because it is not made for that and not sturdy enough.

The townhouse features three off street parking spaces - two in the driveway and one in the garage. Mt Washington is a safe and very walkable neighborhood with a variety of restaurants, bars, a bakery, a coffee shop, an ice cream parlor and a grocery store steps away. It is also a 4 minute walk to the Grandview Overlooks and Monongahela Incline which travels down to the Station Square Trolley Station, offering quick access to anywhere in the downtown area. By car, it is an 8-10 minute drive to downtown and to the North Shore (Acrisure Stadium / PNC Park / Casino / Carnegie Science Center).

Check yourself in with the keypad on the front door. I will send you an access code a couple of days before your first night stay.

Notes about charges
If a “Guest Service Fee” shows on the breakdown of charges for your stay, that is not charged by us. That is the fee charged to guests by the rental site you used. When booking remember to include the total number of guests and also the number of dogs (1 or 2).

Just what we needed

Property was just as advertised and exactly what we needed. We found the place clean and comfortable and close to restaurants we enjoy and less than a 15-minute drive to Pitt. The host even accommodated a late check out so my family could attend an evening event and leave our pet until it ended. Alleyway to access the garage is narrow and challenging with an SUV however did not affect our enjoyment of the stay. We would without question rent again.

Home away from home with great hosts!

The house was well located and a short drive/walk to all things Pittsburgh. It was clean and well kept and overall felt very cozy and comfortable for my family of 4 dog. Having the garage to park in during winter weather was a huge bonus! Communication was stellar, with Dave going out of his way to ensure we had all info necessary to enjoy our stay. We would enthusiastically recommend this house to others!

Lovely House

This house was very clean and comfortable. It was also well equipped for cooking. The streets surrounding it are very narrow, which is common in that area but if you have a choice, I would take the smaller car. With that being said, we did just fine with my full size tri k.

Property is an excellent spot to stay and the house is taken care of very well. Mt Washington has restaurants within walking distance and the overlook to the city is amazing. Must be able to do stairs for bedrooms and the area has very steep roads when walking around.

Great little place on a hill

We had a great stay! Communication was excellent, gave us a list of all the basics when needed. A phone number was provided in case we needed immediate communication. The parking and driving around the place was a bit tight, but we have a big truck. So we expected it to be that way. Parking is in the garage or out back and you can enter through the garage, or walk up the sidewalk to the front door, but honestly it was very easy to get in through the garage. The neighborhood was a little loud at night… lots of dirt bikes were riding around pretty late. Not sure we were in the best neighborhood but we had no issues. The inside was spotless, and clean as can be! The only issue we had was we couldn’t get a lot of channels to work on the tv… but that could be operator error. Coffee and some light snacky stuff was provided, which was great. Also a water filter pitcher was clean and ready for us to use. Cups, utensils, towels, and other amenities provided and greatly appreciated! Overall a nice place with plenty of space for us. We could have had a few more people there comfortably, but it was just the two of us.

Urban Retreat in Pittsburgh

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Adam's house in Pittsburgh during a home remodel, and it was an absolute lifesaver. The house itself was modern, impeccably clean, and incredibly comfortable, providing my family with everything we needed during our temporary relocation due to construction at our own home. Adam proved to be a generous and gracious host, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction throughout our stay. His prompt and clear communication made the booking process and our entire experience seamless and stress-free. Booking through Vrbo added an extra layer of convenience to our stay, and I cannot thank Adam enough for providing us with a haven during a hectic time. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone in need of a comfortable and accommodating home away from home in Pittsburgh.
