You will be able to self check-in using the electronic key lock upon arrival. You can't beat the location of this Shadyside apartment. It is conveniently located near all Universities (Carnegie Mellon, University of Pittsburgh, Carlow, Chatham, and Duquesne). Plenty of boutiques, restaurants, parks, museums, high-end shopping and coffee shops are within walking distance. Some of the primary spots include Lululemon, Athleta, Apple Store, Banana Republic, Starbucks, Pamelas Diner, Brueggers bagels Shady Grove, The Yard, and Marios East Side Saloon.

The airport is roughly 30 minutes from the apartment, by car and without traffic. The cost to uber is usually about a $38 each way, without surge pricing. I highly recommend using ride-sharing services, like Uber or Lyft as you are in a hot part of town and will never have to wait more than 10 minutes for a ride. Parking (Instructions can be found here: - There is a small parking pad shared by the other tenants in the apartment building that you are welcome to use if there is an open spot for you. Street parking is also available, but you will need to request a parking pass in advance. I have one guest pass that I can offer for free. You will need to reach out in advance and provide the license plate number and make/ model of vehicle so I can register the parking pass for up to 3 consecutive days. Parking is FREE on Sundays, and also free from 6PM - 11AM daily (Noon on Saturdays). Between 11AM and 6PM, you are able to park for free for up to 2 hours at a time. There are heavy fees for going over but if you are bouncing around during the day, you will likely be fine without a pass. I am happy to provide one if needed! See photos for a picture of the street parking rules. Biking: - Rent bikes for as cheap as $2 per 30 minutes at any Healthy E-Ride bike station around town! There is an easy bike path to get you downtown in less than 30 minutes and you can get to several nearby parks by bike as well. Great way to explore the city! Public transport: Great walking routes along the 5th Avenue, ‘University corridor' to Chatham University, CMU and PITT. Easy bus lines to the heart of Downtown and the Airport - 28X Airport Flyer stops nearby.

July 2025 5.00We came in for some opening ceremonies at Pitt. Will use the his again. Super location that is very walkable
Sofia N.
July 2025 5.00We really enjoyed our stay. Instructions for accessing the apt were simple and there wasn't a complicated check-out process, they take care of everything. The location can't be beat. It was quiet and easy to find parking, but also a 2-3 min walk to all the shops and restaurants on Walnut, (2-3 blocks on flat land). The host was extremely responsive throughout the entire process and very helpful.
Abby W.
July 2025 5.00Perfect location with a lot to do within blocks. Relatively quiet street with ample street parking and overall a perfect place to stay for my family. I would definitely recommend it and plan on coming back!
Britni G.
July 2025 5.00Jake was a great host! The home was cozy and the bed was massive and memory foam! After a long drive from Tennessee I couldn’t keep my eyes open once my head touched the pillow. By the way I’m always a restless sleeper so that says a lot! Wonderful! This one is in my favorites when I find myself in Pittsburgh again.
Maria J.
July 2025 5.00Excellent location, walking distance from restaurants, cafe, stores, etc. Jake was very kind and attentive.
David L.
June 2025 5.00Jake was great in being in touch from the start to the end. He responded quickly when we had questions and was helpful since it was awhile we stayed in an Air B&B. The neighborhood is close to the universities (since we did several tours of Pitt with our child), shopping (including a few places blocks down the road), and quiet. Parking was fine and did not have to go far if you could not park next to the residence. If you wanted to take public transit, a bus stop was 1-2 blocks away (and they are not big blocks). The place is perfect for a family of four and would recommend to others as well.
Jack D.
June 2025 5.00Great stay in Shadyside Pittsburgh right near the shops and restaurants. The place was everything that we needed, and it was perfect for our family. Thank you again for the lovely stay!

June 2025 5.00Jake was an amazing host & very responsive. The place was decorated so nice & the bed was super comfy. Our dogs enjoyed walking every where with us. Laundry in the basement was fantastic as we had a bit of time away from home. Absolutely recommend & would stay again! :)
Craig V.
June 2025 5.00Jake made the process of using the space easy, starting with making the reservation through check out. It is a very comfortable place within easy walking distance to Walnut.
Kate D.
June 2025 5.00Great apartment in a very nice neighborhood. 2 (short) blocks to lots of eateries, shops and entertainment. We had a great evening at Mario's following our super easy self check-in. Best Burger we've had!! Apartment was clean and welcoming. Two big bedrooms with smaller living area and kitchen, but was practical for our short overnight trip. I did notice extra linens and things in the closet if you had a bigger group or were staying more than a night. Stocked with coffee & necessities. Filled Brita pitcher in the fridge was a bonus! Nice access to the private backyard area off of the back bedroom. EXTRA CLEAN, which is always my #1 priority. Thanks, Jake!
Seung Y.
June 2025 5.00Super comfortable spot and great price

Catherine C.
May 2025 5.00Stayed for Pitt graduation. Perfect location. Easily walkable to all the restaurants and shops of the main drag of Shadyside. Easy street parking even during the hectic graduation/marathon weekend. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. We have two more Pitt graduations in the next two years and would love to stay here again!
Michael N.
April 2025 5.00Jake was one of the best, if not the best hosts I have ever had to deal with. The communication with him made ALL the difference. Jake's property is going my pick for Pittsburgh, every time.
Derek G.
April 2025 5.00I’ve stayed multiple times now and had an enjoyable stay each time.
Marnie B.
April 2025 5.00Jake was a perfect host. He was very communicative and always quick to respond. He was accommodating, clear and very nice to deal with. The apartment itself was pretty much just like the photos. There were two nice sized bedrooms with very comfortable beds and lovely linens. The bathroom was well appointed and actually nicer than many hotel bathrooms. The living room/kitchen were open plan which was nice. The kitchen is a bit small but easy to cook in. The living room/dining area were also compact yet very cozy and comfortable. The apartment itself was in a great location, very walkable to the main drag in Shadyside. Parking was easy as well. I would absolutely stay in this apartment again.
Julianne G.
April 2025 5.00Great location, had everything we needed. Easy street parking. Jake was very quick to respond to our questions. thanks
Laurence E.
April 2025 5.00Quiet and comfortable flat with great private little deck overlooking the yard. As described, well equipped, and very clean. Note that the 2 bedrooms are on a different side of the apartment, great for added privacy when sharing. Convenient street parking, most often in front of the house.
Yo K.
April 2025 5.00Although it said six people for the stay, we were able to stay at the Airbnb with seven people, thanks to Jake's flexibility and understanding. While it was our first time getting an Airbnb, Jake's clear instructions made it easy for us to check in and check out. Overall, great stay!
Richard S.

March 2025 5.00This is my 2nd time staying in one of Jake's properties, and the properties and amenities are nice. Dog friendly. Kitchen and bathrooms are clean and up to date in the properties we have visited. This property is an easy walk to restaurants and CMU and Pitt campus. Had no issues parking on the street. I make a point of looking for Jake's properties when visiting Pittsburgh. Staying again in May.

Tina B.
March 2025 5.00Jake and team were easy to communicate with. For me the bed was too soft, but everyone has different opinions. Upstairs neighbors had a loud barking dog, luckily it was during the day and not at night.
Marilyn L.
March 2025 5.00Jake was a great host very attentive and responsive to questions!
Angel M.
March 2025 5.00Jake’s place was comfortable and clean. Had only the bare minimum amenities, like coffee and salt/pepper, but we LOVED that it had a separate pot for water for tea! This kept it uncluttered and at an affordable price! I was VERY impressed with how quickly Jake responded to my questions! I would definitely stay here again!
Katy M.
March 2025 5.00Jake’s place is 2 streets from Shadyside, an adorable area with restaurants and shopping. It’s also a 15-minute drive to Murray street in one direction and a similar distance to the Strip District - both great areas! Jake is a very responsive and accommodating host. The apartment is cozy and the beds are so comfortable! Highly recommend, will definitely stay here again.

Hannah L.
March 2025 5.00We really enjoyed our stay here- close to many restaurants, quiet at night, and only a 10-15 minute drive to the activities we wanted to do downtown. We felt safe and while there is only street parking available, we managed to park close every time. There are so many cute and well-kept houses along the street, and I did a little research and discovered all were built in around 1900! We loved Shadyside and the gorgeous architecture throughout. The apartment itself was clean and met our needs. The king bed we used was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and large enough that you would be able to do real cooking. The fireplace (which is only decorative) has so much detail and character and looks original. We never smelled weed or other smoke, which was a relief after reading a review about another Airbnb we considered where that was an issue. While we didn't sit outside in the small backyard area, I enjoyed the view of it from the window by the dining table! Wouid recommend!
Aaron K.
February 2025 5.00Had a fantastic stay! Perfect sized back yard to let the dogs out, very walkable, great neighborhood. Jake was very proactive in communicating. Will definitely be staying again!

January 2025 5.00My first time staying in this particular property, but Jake was great to deal with, as in the past.
Craig T.
January 2025 4.00Great location in the heart of Shadyside with walkability to lots of restaurants and shops. While you can hear people in the other apartments, noise was never and issue and the place was quiet at night. The place itself could use a little work with things like broken blinds on the windows but otherwise it has what you need and the location is great.
Wei L.
January 2025 5.00这个房源位于一楼,整套房不大,但是温馨舒适。厨房有做饭所需的几乎所有用具,非常方便。 我们是冬天来的,房间比较暖和。龙头里都有热水。 房东回应很快,很热情。 第一晚有狗经常叫,有点吵。房东马上跟其他房客沟通,后来安静了。
Misha N.
January 2025 5.00We were a party of 5 with a toddler and Jake was able to make accommodations baaed on requests we made. He was super helpful throughout the stay and just a message away. We felt right at home. The place was cosy and clean. 100% recommended
Sydney A.
January 2025 5.00Great place, and host
Kathy U.
January 2025 3.00Positives first: this is a small 2 br apartment within walking distance to Walnut Street in the nice Shadyside neighborhood. King and queen sized beds were comfortable with nice bedding. Cons: the back bedroom is most likely a converted, enclosed back porch, so quite cold due to a drafty backdoor. The pullout sofa is lumpy, and there was no dining room table or any place to eat other than the couch. Overall not practical for more than four people--felt like slightly upgraded student housing.
Tana M.
January 2025 5.00Jake’s place was great to stay at! Super comfy and “homey” feeling. Very Easy to enter, and felt like a quiet safe neighborhood. The only thing was I could not find street parking in front of the house, and had to park on the side street.
Sheryl H.
December 2024 5.00Jake’s place was very clean, quiet and a good size for 2-4 people (except that there’s only 1 bathroom). Beds were comfortable, bathroom was clean, kitchen had all the necessities. Easy checkin and out. Highly recommend.
Maria E.
December 2024 5.00We only spent one night at Jake’s place but we thoroughly enjoyed it. The beds were super comfortable, so all 4 of us including the kids slept like babies. The location is perfect and the host was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. We will stay here again on our next trip!
Caroline M.
December 2024 3.00More shabby than chic. The apartment was clean and quiet but it was pretty run down. Either the previous guest had trashed the place or Jake is not visiting the apartment to see the holes in the wall and ceiling, the missing art and broken blinds, some of which were just unusuable. Furnished inexpensively, some of the furniture was not standing up well to the test of time. But it is in a great location, and as noted above, quiet and clean.
Geoff H.
December 2024 5.00my wife and I had a wonderful stay at Jake's apartment in Shadyside. exactly as described and immaculately clean, Jake was responsive throughout the trip, providing clear checkin / checkout instructions and in a very timely manner. would recommend him and his places in a heartbeat! 10/10 experience. thanks again Jake!

October 2024 5.00I recently stayed at this Airbnb and found it to be a clean and spacious place. The furniture was new, which added to the overall comfort. The neighborhood was calm, making it a pleasant environment. I also appreciated the backyard; it was a nice addition to the experience.

Thank you!!

May 2024 5.00I’ve stayed in another one of Jake’s locations as well as this one and, like before, found him to be a very responsive and accommodating host. The location is outstanding….walkable with shops and restaurants two short blocks away. The place was comfortable and clean; the kitchen well stocked in terms of utensils and cookware…..and the bed was very comfortable. I probably will book with Jake again!

April 2024 5.00Great location!
Elizabeth B.
April 2024 5.00This place is a true gem and exactly as described. And Jake is helpful and knowledgeable and completely a professional. if you are somebody who is reading reviews and worried about whether the upstairs neighbors were noisy or if the house seemed rundown from the outside, I can tell you those things seem to have changed and were not true for us, at all. The neighbors upstairs were lovely and the house looked adorable from the outside. This house had everything you could hope for and was a great value for our weekend stay.

April 2024 5.00Really enjoyed my stay at Jake's place! The location was perfect. Quiet neighborhood. Close to restaurants on Walnut Street. 15 minute walk to CMU. Some reviewers have noted that you can hear upstairs, if there is a tenant renting that unit. That's true. If it's adults, it's not too bad. Kids can be a little louder. If those kinds of things bother you, definitely bring ear plugs. Look forward to staying at Jake's properties again.

April 2024 5.00Jake was very responsive and helpful for our last minute trip. The location is so close to Walnut St which is a great walkable area. The unit looks as pictured and advertised. It’s an older building so we could sometimes hear the upstairs unit, but this was not an issue overnight.

March 2024 4.00Overall our family had a great stay. The location is great - walkable with some nice restaurants and shops down the street, and a 10-15 min drive from many other Pittsburgh attractions. The neighborhood was quiet overall; we just had a bit of noise from the guests renting the upstairs unit one night. The unit’s size was perfect for our family of 3, the place was clean, and beds were very comfortable. The host was responsive and helpful. Supplies in the kitchen were a little sparse but fine (for example we had to improvise for a big salad bowl and for a strainer for pasta). There was no stopper for the tub, which was disappointing to our young child who is more comfortable taking baths than showers. Overall we had a good experience and would recommend this place to others visiting Pittsburgh.

March 2024 5.00Jake was awesome! Very responsive! Next time I am in Pitt I hope the space is available! Thanks Jake!

March 2024 5.00We were only in Pittsburgh for one night and it was so nice to stay at Jake’s place. Just a short walk to Walnut street where you can find many great food options and stores. The place was clean and looked just like the photos.

March 2024 5.00Booked this place last minute as we were traveling from DC. Great location! Just a few minutes away from tons of restaurants and shops. The neighborhood was peaceful. We stopped by a locally owned icecream shop and another customer paid for our order. What a way to start a trip!. The airbnb itself was easy to locate, east to access and was spacious enough. Loved that there was coffee available and a filtered water pitcher. Parking was accessible, we were able to get a spot just steps away. We also found a local park just 3 minutes away. My daughter and I stayed for 3 hours! Everyone was very friendly and polite and there were tons of children. I would definitely recommend and will stay again if visiting the area

February 2024 5.00Jake, we enjoyed our stay in your apartment. My daughter and I immediately felt right at home. The beds were very comfortable, and I really appreciate being able to easily access the TV with my YouTube account. My daughter hopes to attend college in the Pittsburgh area this coming fall, and I'm a die-hard Pittsburgh Steelers fan, so I hope that I can be a recurring guest in one of your units.!
Sean M.
February 2024 5.00Jake’s space was located in an exceptional neighborhood! Parking was readily available on the street and even when there was unforeseen snow, Jake’s team was quick to have the porch and sidewalk cleared. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Mel L.
January 2024 5.00Jake’s place was great. It was as pictured and very clean and comfortable. We had a very good night sleep and am sure it was due to the quiet area and the super comfortable mattress. Walking distance to restaurants and local shops. Jake was so responsive and so easy to do business with. And I so appreciate that he does not charge a cleaning fee. We will definitely stay again next time in Pittsburgh. Thank you Jake!!!
Brandon C.
January 2024 5.00The place was exactly as described. Many shops and restaurants were just 10-15 minutes away. Although parking was limited, I found a spot on Sunday. Jake, the host, was highly responsive. Overall, I enjoyed my stay.

Taryn W.
January 2024 5.00We had a great 1 night stay at Jake’s place. We loved how close to the restaurants & shops his home was, only a 3-4 minute walk! The beds were comfortable and the rooms were spacious and overall very clean. Jake was also an attentive & helpful host who provided clear instructions & responded promptly when I had question. Next time we visit Pittsburgh I would absolutely stay at Jake’s place again!

December 2023 5.00Stayed for my daughter's birthday and New Years. After going to the Pens game and going to the Rivers Casino, it was a nice "home" to come into. We came when it was cold and blustery out, the lights were on for us, was warm and cozy. The beds were very nice and the shower amazing. It is a bottom apartment with tenants above. I would like to explore other properties they have available.

Felt very safe and loved the walkable location to Walnut St. Jake was highly proactive and responsive in communicating throughout. Wifi was speedy and TV was great for the evenings. Highly recommend this for families with young kids!
Maggie H.
July 2023 5.00Had a last minute booking. This is a great location and street parking was very easy. It was nice to have a Brita filter pitcher in the fridge for water! Some of the blinds were broken in the living room but no big deal. You do hear some noise from other residents in the home. Would definitely stay here again!

July 2023 5.00Great value. Lovely neighbourhood. Just as described. Highly recommended!
Rie S.
July 2023 5.00Pleasant stay, as location was very convenient, close to Walnut Street and street parking was easy. Great communication with Jake and his associate who were always quick to respond and very kind. The only issue was, due to the historical nature of the area and the house, it was old, though kept very clean. The blinds were partly broken as well. However, aside from that, it was very comfortable and met our needs well.
Cynthia L.
June 2023 5.00Great location! Easy walk to local shops but street is one-way do minimal traffic. Spacious and plenty of natural light. Comfortable furniture and beds. Found street parking in front of unit. On-site laundry was convenient. Enjoyed the stay!
Salenna S.
June 2023 5.00had a great time here, it looks just like the pictures. had everything we needed!
Comfortable place in great location
Jake was an amazing host. The property was exactly the way pictures were. Would strongly recommend this property who wants to stay in the safe, quiet and centre to most happening places. Thanks Kakes for allowing us to keep our luggage’s in your property till our check in time as we had to board the international flight.
Perfectly adequate for a weekend trip with some girlfriends. The check in was easy, very easy to find parking, walkable to places to eat and shops. The bedding appeared to be very clean, which I appreciated. There were some items of note - a scratched up coffee table, a wad of paper shoved under one leg of the table because it’s uneven, etc that made the place feel a little jenky but overall, it was a perfectly fine stay.
A nice unit with plenty of space, in a great part of town with plenty of options within walking distance for dining and shopping.
The apartment was nice and cozy!! Will definitely stay here again!
Great stay near lots of restaurants. Would come back!
Very nice place, clean and close to dining, parks etc. Would book again.
The apartment was just as described and was quiet enough for me and my dog to sleep.
Great location next to the restaurants and shopping on walnut street!
The place was great and the beds were very comfortable! The location is great as well!
My favorite Airbnb i have ever stayed at! Cannot say enough good things. I felt so at home, great location, clean and lovely details. I wanted to move there permanently!
Very close to Walnut street and with free parking. Easy check in & out. Was fully equipped with Soap, Shampoo, Cond, towels etc, Plus coffee, creamer & teas which I appreciate:) Was cozy and clean!
Last minute booking, Jake was a great host!!
It was everything Jake had mentioned. I'd return!
This rental was at a great location to the University of Pittsburgh for graduation. The bedding was soft and comfortable, and the extras of coffee and laundry made it easy. Recommend!
great location and price great host enjoyed our stay
We enjoyed our stay. The apartment was clean and beds very comfy! Jake was a responsive host. The final cost of just over 2300.00 for a 2/1 apartment for 6 nights was too pricey. The advertised price shows under 150, but it changes quickly when you get to the calendar.
great place in a great neighborhood! The place was very comfortable and in a great area of town. I was a little worried about finding street parking ahead of time - and there was no problem whatsoever. Easy walk to shops and restaurants. And Jake and his team were great at communicating. If I find myself back in Pittsburgh, would absolutely stay here again!
Lovely apartment in a walkable and fun neighborhood, convenient to other parts of the city as well. Jake was extraordinarily responsive as a host, replying within minutes to messages. Wifi and Tv worked great. The beds were very comfortable, lots of closet space.
Great stay in a great location! Came to visit a Pitt student; this rental is convenient to campus in a quiet area. No trouble finding on street parking. Would definitely stay here again. It was very clean and exactly as described.
The apartment was in a great location, an easy walk to shops and restaurants.
Nice quiet neighborhood, close to a lot of restaurants. The place was very clean. And great bedding!
A great stay. Shadyside is a terrific Pittsburgh neighborhood and Jake's place is charming and centrally located. He was a very easy host to work with. Highly recommend.
This is a lovely place for a Pittsburgh stay! The apartment was comfortable and the location is outstanding, just a few blocks away from Shadyside shops and restaurants.
It was great to arrive to Jakes place after a long drive! It felt like home and it was super cozy. As I have stayed at a few air b & bs over time, its so nice when there is actually more than you expected. For example, even though the place was relatively small it was comfortable with well placed details that made it feel personal and familiar. A cozy blanket to wrap yourself up in front of the TV or beautiful painted detail over the doorway. Also it was nice to find olive oil and salt and pepper. I wish more air b&Bs had some spices to at least cook an egg like this one. The bath room was spotless as was the whole apartment and it had towels marked "maycup" which delighted my younger daughter. The back room lead to a porch with lights! Just wonderful! We will be back
Jake was super responsive and helped make our stay positive and just what we had hoped. Would recommend!!
This airbnb hosted by Jake was excellent. Really appreciated the cleanliness and comfort of the apartment. There were good amenities; Jake was a responsive host who provided clear information , and the beds and shower were great .In addition, this apartment is in a super location with easy walking to shops and restaurants and a nice neighborhood with parking available. I would certainly stay here again on a return visit to Pittsburgh.
Beautiful apartment and easy place to stay for a night.
Fantastic, cozy quiet place to stay, walkable distance to great restaurants and shops Jake is a wonderful host flexible checking in and checking out. We’ll definitely look forward to stay here next time.
We had a wonderful stay. The location is close to Walnut and a short drive to almost anywhere. The beds are comfortable and Jake's place had almost anything you would need.
Very comfortable home with easy parking and great access to restaurants and shops. Really lovely neighborhood! Jake was extremely helpful and responsive!
Jake’s place is in a fantastic location and Jake is incredibly helpful and accommodating.
perfect place to go out in shadyside for the super bowl.
A very comfortable stay! We’ve enjoyed a two-week long stay and Jake is super helpful and kind. Would choose him again if gotta chance’
Jake was an awesome host! He made the check in and check out process so easy. He responded to me quickly if I had any questions or needed anything! He was awesome!
I have stayed at more than one of Jakes rentals, and I now try to stay exclusively at his airbnbs if available. All of his units have been immaculate! Clean, comfortable (amazing bedding!), and easy to check into, to say the least. Jake is easy to get ahold of, and accommodating to specific needs. Five stars aren’t enough!
This place is very lovely and it’s location is excellent.
Great apartment space for 4 people and great location. Walkable to shops and restaurants.
Great place in terrific location. It was a short stay for us but everything was overall smooth and restful!!
A terrific apartment in Shadyside. Clean, comfortable and convenient.
Loved staying here. It was clean, cozy, and walkable to dining and shopping. There’s a nice private back seating area outside that would be great in warmer weather. Jake was a great host and made the whole process so easy. We will definitely stay here again when visiting Pittsburgh.
There are a lot of restaurants in the walking distance and the street parking is pretty easy. The place is very clean and we have an enjoyable stay.
Great stay at Jake’s apartment. Place was clean and well equipped! Loved the electric kettle. Coffee and tea provided which made mornings easier. Easy walk to restaurants on Walnut. Easily available street parking. Great communication with host before and throughout stay. Hope to stay again!
Jake was very responsive and helpful. The only downside was the upstairs neighbor who blasted music on Friday night till well after midnight.
Great location, very clean.
Very lovely stay. There was earl gray for all the tea lovers out there. Parking was easy to font and it has everything we needed. Very nice, very cute, very fun. 10/10 :)
Clean small two bedroom apartment two blocks from many shops and restaurants. Loud upstairs neighbors. No blackout curtains in the main bedroom- the outside light is on all night and it is very light in the room because of the flimsy cheap blinds. Pretty dated apartment. Otherwise the apartment was clean and the location was great. It is completely overpriced for what was on offer. Would not book again with the same realtor.
Jake was very responsive and really made our stay in Pittsburg great. We had zero issues and truly enjoyed staying in this neighborhood. 100% recommend to anyone looking to book in the future.
Jake was a great host. Loved the location and the bedding was very nice.
Apartment as advertised, in great location and very clean. Jake is an incredibly responsive host. Always super helpful and very accommodating. We will be back!
Great location and clean, nice apartment. Would come back!
Cute apartment in a beautiful building, quick walk to shadyside and easy check in!
Great location. Coffee, shops and good eats within walking distance. (Recommend Tocayo) Clean and felt secure - can’t beat that! …oh wait you can, with a comfortable bed! The beds made for some serious relaxation and good night sleep! Would definitely stay here again!
What a great place! The location was nice and walkable. Very safe area with some great coffee shops and restaurants near by. Beds were comfortable and the place was exactly as described.
Clear communication, convenient location, responsive host, easy parking, comfortable and clean furnishings. I had a great stay!
Our stay was very enjoyable…the location was perfect for walks to downtown Shadyside .The beds were very comfy and Jake had many little extras to make the stay hassle free. Jake was very responsive and check in went smooth. The apartment was very quiet …I would definitely stay here again.
Jake apartment was perfect. All we needed was in it. It was clean and in perfect condition. The location; Quiet street. 3 minutes walk to stores and restaurants
Jake is a perfect host, he answered immediately and solved any issues! The house was perfect, clean, and in a perfect spot to visit the city
Great lil apartment! Perfect for our needs!
I stayed for a week and it was a wonderful stay. Easy to find, safe area, extremely comfortable. More than anything I could have expected.
Clean place. Well kept. Great location. Just as advertised. Would rent from this host again!
Super close to both great food / shopping options and the university! The apartment is comfortable and the two bedrooms are on opposing sides of the apartment which is great for privacy!
Listing was a great price and exactly as advertised! Very clean
Amazing place!! If you are looking for something in the Shadyside area of Pittsburgh, I would highly recommend this stay. Everything was clean, communication was wonderful. It’s in close proximity to the university and lots of other activities. Will definitely be back!
Great place to stay!
Josh is a great host and communicates immediately. This 2BR unit was exactly as it was described. The unit was clean, well stocked, and very comfortable. Temperature control was easy, beds were super comfortable, and shower was enjoyable. Street parking was easier to manage than I expected, also. Bonus! I’ll definitely seek to stay here again when I return to the ‘Burgh.
Cute place and helpful with some technical difficulties we had.
Jake is friendly and always responds rapidly. Two bedrooms looked beautiful. The location is convenient.
We had a wonderful stay in Shadyside. The location was perfect with plenty of street parking available. The unit was clean, comfortable, and exactly as advertised. Check-in was seamless and Jake was a very responsive host. Would definitely stay here again on a future visit to Pittsburgh :)
Fantastic location. Short walk to Shadyside shops and restaurants. Short drive the the rest of Pittsburgh.
The Airbnb was great and very clean. Jake was also incredibly helpful and responsive
Thanks Jake - nice apartment
Great location! Shops and restaurants on Walnut are only a 5 minute walk. The place is very clean and has very comfortable beds. Kitchen is well stocked with pots and utensils is you want to do a little cooking during your stay.
We found the apartment very clean, quiet and convenient for our weekend trip.
We loved staying here! Beds were SOO comfortable! Nice touches like good quality tea and coffee. Perfect location! Private back deck and with cute lights. Homey place, with cute decor plus really reasonably priced. We just loved it. Will definitely be back!
Nice apartment but the bed was too soft.
Pictures are tricky. Perfect location and great beds but the worst looking property on a charming street. Broken blinds, couches you couldn’t even sit on. Shower spout ready to fall off wall. Remote dead for tv in bedroom. Poison and weeds growing into walkway and you wouldn’t set foot on back yard area. It’s a shame because kitchen and bedrooms are nice. Like they did half a renovation. About same price as downtown hotel, should have done that.
Very clean and comfortable apartment in a great location!
Cute apartment centrally located between Carnegie Mellon and Chatham universities. It’s in a safe neighborhood with ample parking on the street. We enjoyed our stay while college touring.
The apartment is very clean, the beds are very comfortable, and the location feels very safe and conveniently located near great restaurants and shops. The exterior of the property and the entryway need work. It is not welcoming, rundown and dark. The entry door to the apartment is not well lit and feels unsafe bin a right space by a dark basement stairwell. If these aspects of the property are addressed, it will be a great rental I would happy reserve again but not until then.
Clean and comfortable apartment in a great location!!!!
