Had a great time here! Comfortable and clean place, love the decorating as well. Easy, free, accessible parking. I was able to go downtown one night and stay in and relax the next, away from the city bustle. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe here. Close drive or Uber ride to the city center. My only criticism is the Steelers blanket I found myself using at night … GO BILLS! ;)
Cleanliness is important to us- used wash cloths in shower; dark beard shavings in sink, odor and some thing stuck on drawer inside fridge. The bed was an issue for us (although it may not be for others) very uncomfortable. Otherwise as expected.
A couple of problems:
1) when I asked how many stairs led into the property, the host told me 3. Actually there was a total of 8 and two were pretty steep. I made it work, but I wasn't happy that I wasn't told correctly
2) Starting on the first night the heat wasn't working properly. The temperature was in the teens that night and the host said they would get someone out the next day. The heat continued to be a problem throughout the week, although the hosts did bring two portable heaters to help.
3) A very minor problem: there was no handsoap in the bathroom (just the empty bottle) so I went out and purchased my own. I left that bottle so the next person wouldn't have the same issue.

Grimy... not very clean.
We were going to a concert and booked the listing for 2 nights. As instructed we parked right out front and unloaded our luggage and parked across the street. Absolutely no problem. The location was nice as it's tucked in front of the fire depo and diagonaly across the street is the Crafton Police Dept. Right across from the listing is the cutest library. There is a Dollar General within 1,000 feet. The first thing we noticed when we opened the door to the apartment was it smelled like fried fish so bad. Maybe there's a fish fry at the fire department? It was a bit difficult to get the security box open that held the keys. Probably my fault honestly. Husband got it right open. The place was just as the picture showed. Super cute but when I went to go put groceries away first thing I noticed is there were condiments in the refrigerator and in the freezer was a bag of frozen vegetables. There was something that had dripped in the bottom of the refrigerator drawers. It was really gross. Then we started to notice a few things were not top-notch. One of the pictures in the living room had slid and you could see the cardboard backing. It looked like it was going to fall off of the wall. In the shower there were four or five large bottles of suave shampoo and conditioner (half used) all different fragrances. Like someone just left them there. So weird seeing how we did not know who had used them. Other than that the bathroom looked clean. Bathroom is huge. In the bedroom everything looked fine my only concern was that the box spring for the bed was showing. There was no bed skirt just the brown slightly rusted bed frame there was no headboard. The box spring was just the box spring; an old floral 1970s patterned box spring. It just looked unfinished and unkempt. We went to our concert came back and went to make dinner. All of the dinnerware was chipped and cracked. The silverware and utensils were spotted and looked really dirty. There was a open grungy looking bottle of Dawn on the sink. It's just hard to fathom that this is during a covid outbreak and we'd asked for a Primer Host. Nothing was sanitary or one time use. The microwave was clean on the inside but so coated in grease and grime outside that I literally used my nail to scrape the word "gross" into the front of it. No joke. I had such high hopes for this apartment but it just fell short. Maybe Jenna needs to get a new cleaning company. This apartment needs some TLC. Has such great potential.
Great apartment, very clean and comfortable. Everything we needed for a long weekend stay. Location is great, walkable to area businesses and public transportation. Safe neighborhood. Jenna is very responsive!
Checkin instructions were clear and easy. Everything we needed was provided, kitchen was great. Living room was comfortable and with lots of natural light through windows. Everything was very clean and the neighborhood felt very safe. Thanks Jenna for a comfortable stay. We will be back. 🙂
I was by myself, but felt very secure. Plenty of areas to do your daily walk. Thermostat wasn't working for me upon arrival, and it was to be a very cold weekend. With only a short text, it was fixed by owner simply changing batteries. Thanks! Cozy after that! Everything was as advertised. Thanks for being wonderful hosts.
Quiet neighborhood, nice place! Very close to a police station and fire company which is very comforting. There were a few stains on the quilt and the bed was a little too firm. Overall I would come back
Nice place to stay, very clean and good communication. The only concern we had was the camera that is pointed at the front door, it made us feel like we were being watched and we weren’t sure if the camera could see into the apartment.
We stayed here for the weekend to see the Steelers Play. We did not rent a car, we Uber’d around. I’ll say there is not a ton around. We stayed in the downtown areas of Pitt most of the time, and just came back to the apartment to sleep. It was really clean, my only complaint about that was I pulled an extra blanket out that had some stuck on crumbs or something. Also I would request the upstairs if I stayed here again. The people above us were loud, and horrendous. The rule was to not wear shoes in the house and these people did. All. Night. It’s all I could hear was walking around and loud chatting etc. This was not the property owners fault but if I knew there was an up and down and I would’ve picked the upstairs in a heart beat. Overall it was a good place to stay.
We were comfortable and location worked well for us. There was no cable and Netflix worked part of the time and sometimes not. Had to do a bit of cleaning in the bathroom on our first day and the floors could be a lot cleaner. Had some issues with the shower handle falling off and faucet loose but got fixed eventually. Property manager was good about responding to my requests. Overall it was a good experience.
I enjoyed my stay, and almost met my expectations. Parking could be better. At times it was hard to find parking during the day. Night was no problem. Owner needs to fix the shower fixture. It prevented us from getting a nice "HOT" shower. This needs immediate attention
Over All except for the above, nice property
