6 Mi to Dtwn: Pittsburgh Townhome w/ Porch

Lots of space, good location!

The apartment is very large with 4 good-sized bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a half bath so there was lots of space for our family to spread out. The unit was very clean and well stocked, and the location was ideal for getting to/from CMU for move-in weekend for our son. Two small concerns -- there was a very strong cooking smell that permeated the unit around 3 am one of the nights. I'm not sure if it was coming from another adjacent unit but it was difficult to air it out and left all of our clothing smelling of garlic. Could be just a one-time thing or something about how the AC vents are routed, but I wanted to mention it so others could be aware. Also, there is a spot on the ceiling in the upstairs king bedroom where it looks like water may be leaking behind the drywall in the ceiling. There was no water dripping out of it but I was concerned that the ceiling was quite soft in that area and it likely needs to be addressed. Other than those two small things, we had a great stay!

Great home and location!

Our family stayed in the house on S. Negley and I was a little concerned about the owners being there while we were there, but there were absolutely no concerns after I saw how securely locked the door to the lower level was from the rest of the house. The beds were very comfortable, kitchen was well stocked for family meals, bathrooms were great, and the whole house was very clean and neat. As we were driving to the home, we saw that we were near the college and saw many college students walking in town, and I thought we would be in a noisy neighborhood, but it was a beautiful, quiet, and very safe home and neighborhood. This is a great place for a family or a group gathering. Emily was very gracious and helpful with the house questions I had and extra tips about the neighborhood! Thank you, Emily!

Comfy site for 8 Senior Games Athletes

Site was as photographed. Bathrooms and kitchen appeared to be recently remodeled. Fluffy towels and nice bedding. All very clean. Host responded quickly to any questions we had. We had 8 adults all over 65 in the residence and all enjoyed the stay. The bunk beds were a bit challenging but they were very sturdy and not a safety hazard. As noted in the description, there is no access to the basement or back yard so there is only one exit. Nice front porch. This is a side-by-side unit and the other side was vacant when we were there, but a couple was moving into the other unit so we have no information on what the neighbors might be like in the future. We did not have any trouble finding parking spots for the three cars. Each person in the home gave it 5 stars.

Just what we needed!

Everything was great and as listed! Would stay here again!! If you want a great breakfast try Pamela's. We went to the Murray Street location...a 10 minute walk.
