It's a lovely place in a good location -- walkable to the Mt. Washington overlooks & inclines, and several restaurants. It would've been good to know ahead of time that it's on a narrow steep one-way street, and that it's street parking. Also, just fyi, the second bed (which I didn't need/use) is accessible up a steep ladder. The private back enclosed patio was nice to enjoy a beverage.

Avi was very responsive and kind. The home was just as pictured but it was not cozy. We had some minor issues with the sink and dishwasher, Avi responded right away. None are provided and I’d recommend bringing a blanket or two, it was drafty. The couch is small and not good for watching tv. There’s no tv upstairs. It would be perfect for younger guests not planning to stay in for a lot of their stay. There are several restaurants within walking distance open until late so there was a lot of noise and traffic. Parking was an issue and I was concerned parking my vehicle there with the amount of foot traffic on the street. This house is definitely a place for a younger couple. We still had a fantastic weekend with the plans we had around the city. Thank you for being a good host Avi!

THIS IS MY HOME!!! It's my second time here. I was here last year July 2025. Perfect house for a single or a couple. Everything is nice. There is at least a 10 degree difference between the first floor and the second floor,yes heat rises. So if you don't want to be very hot don't put the heat at more than 72 degrees. Everything else is amazing. And I love those high efficiency washer and dryer(they are 2 seperate units). The neighborhood is fantastic. One block from the Incline(little "buggy " that takes you down the cliff) and one of those observation decks where you get an amazing view of the city. Then Shiloh street has restaurants, bars,a bakery,liquor store ,PNC Bank and another one I firgot the name,a diner agas station next block and a grocery store. I WOULD LIVE HERE!
