Parkside Paradise Elegant Victorian Home Just Steps from the Park

This rental space is perfect for family traveling together, with comfortable features and lovely artistic touches throughout. The space is basic, as one would expect from a 100 year old home, but it also literally feels like you’re at home. The apartment is well provisioned, and included amenities like towels, washcloths, shampoo and conditioner, and body wash, which are pretty standard. What stood out was that the kitchen had all the items that you need to prepare a full meal, and included basic spices, coffee, and sugar, so you can basically show up with some groceries and have a great weekend without any hassle. The communication for check in and check out had the hallmarks of a capably-designed AI chatbot and made the experience easy. I’m in Pittsburgh often and will be looking to stay again in the future.

Nothing of note

I really enjoyed the feel of the apartment in this old Victorian home! There were plenty of beds to choose from, nice living room, 2 bathrooms, full kitchen etc. I chose staying here over a hotel and I'm glad I did. It was very cozy and welcoming. The location is great, on a quiet street across from a park, and still close to everything PGH has to offer!

Only had minor issues- -The door to use is on the side of the home, it took me a minute to figure that out. There should be a note posted on the main front door to use the door on the right side of the building. -It snowed and neither the stairs nor the sidewalk were cleared. -A family of 3 stayed upstairs, one being a small child. It was very loud while they were running around and playing, however, they were quiet during sleeping hours, thankfully. But if you do not want to hear other people in the building, don't stay in the 2nd-floor apartment. -I didn't bring a blow dryer because it was listed in the accommodations. No hair dryer in the unit. Truly just nitpicking here, I really did enjoy my stay and love the apartment.

Spacious, comfortable, great location.

Nothing

Someone stole our phone. House was very dirty. Refrigerator was gross. Our bed sheets on 1 bed had blood stain., gross. If you had to cook there, ther was 5 forks, 3 spoons & 3 butter knives. And no hair dryer like it said.. No dish towels or dish rag & no dishwasher soap.

Great location!

The several of the towels appeared as though they could use replacing. Some had rust or other stains. The place was lovely but could use a deep cleaning.

Location

Smoke detector needed replaced

The hygiene was thoughtfully considered—for example, a brand-new, unopened sponge was prepared for washing dishes. The place was also decorated like a real home, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We also liked the historical images of the local community displayed on the living room wall.

One night, the guests (or residents) on the third floor were quite noisy around midnight, and the disturbance lasted for a couple of hours. They may have just arrived and needed time to settle in, but the noise was really disruptive for us. It might be helpful for the hosts to gently remind future guests (or residents) on the third floor to be mindful of those staying on the second floor.

Old house but very clean. Had some charm. The layout was great for our family and it was a nice neighborhood.

Someone had come up tell us about our kids feet being loud downstairs shortly after 830. Quiet hours stayed 11 pm and they were in no way being obnoxious. This was disappointing and off putting but other aspects were great and the value was great.

Historic home, interesting layout, the decorations were very charming. I liked the balcony off the kitchen. Very close drive to everything you need in the city, parking is very easy. I liked that there is a park across the street.

The location is a little sketchy- there were cop cars circling the block pretty much our entire stay- but we personally had no issues. We found one dirty wash cloth on top of the shower, but otherwise the place looked very clean. You could hear upstairs neighbors footsteps coming in late- but not really anyone’s fault it’s just an old house.
