Shadyside House - 100 feet to Walnut Street!

Reviews

• Shadyside gem!

  5/5

  We loved this house. I wish we would have rented both units, but it was big enough for two of us and a small dog. It is well-appointed with thoughtful touches. You cannot beat the location, as Walnut street is literally right there, and you have your pick of restaurants and shops, and the neighborhood is safe and great for walking. Close proximity to CMU and Pitt, it was within walking distance for our son, who lives in North Oakland. The communication details on the property and having everything you need were SO appreciated. We would have rented it again for Pitt's graduation if it had been available! :-) Highly recommend this location/owner.

  No enclosed bedrooms with a door and basement ceiling low...so hard for tall people. Very clean and safe

  The listing for this property left out very important information about the “bedrooms.” The bedrooms were actually located in the basement, down a narrow set of stairs and low ceiling. My husband is 6’3” and had to duck both down the stairs and in the sleeping area. Also we are an older couple so the stairway was challenging. Anyway the “bedroom”that actually had a bed in it did not have a door. The second “bedroom” also did not have a door and was more like a sitting area with a pull out bed. (The number of pullouts/futons was accurate). The listing should be updated to explain the location of the bedrooms because neither the listing nor the photos indicate a basement location.

  Manager's Response:

  Owners response: "Anonymous, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you.
  - Per the listing Bedroom 1 (Loft Style, No Door): Full Bed | Bedroom 2 (Loft Style, No Door): Sofa Sleeper | Living Room: 2 Sofa Sleepers, all of these details are in the listing
  - I'm sorry if the stairs were inconvenient but we will review the listing and make the necessary changes
  We truly go above and beyond for our guests, and we are confident that future guests will have excellent stays!"

• Very comfortable, clean and so convenient. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Short drive to the heart of Pittsburgh!

  I was able to book the entire house, both spaces, for my friends and I for a trip to Pittsburgh. The home exceeded our expectations! We were all very comfortable and clean. We were pleasantly surprised with all the smart features and how accessible the host was to answer questions. It was less than a 2 minute walk to Starbucks which we enjoyed on our private porch before lunch at Cappy's. We rarely used the car, but it was so nice to have a parking spot. We will definitely be back!
