"We came to Pittsburgh for a Steelers game and chose this Airbnb as hotels were ridiculously priced and this was fairly priced and close to downtown. I won’t say it was a bad experience, the first night was the only night with any real issues. The hosts seem very welcoming, I didn’t have any issues with them, personally. As we showed up on a Sat night and weren’t driving to Heinz on Sunday, we weren’t able to use the church parking lot the first night. Parking is pretty difficult without it, but I’m from NYC so I’m used to struggling to find parking; not the end of the world, not a problem caused by the hosts. When we were about to go to bed on the first night, the comforter that was laid out on the bed smelled intensely like body odor, which means that it was not washed before we arrived. We tried to wash it ourselves, but there wasn’t any detergent or any washing supplies anywhere in the bnb, despite the fact that it comes with a washer and dryer. Thank goodness for the spare sheets left inside of the futon, which were all clean. I thought it was a little ridiculous that I was charged a cleaning fee but was also presented with dirty sheets. The bed is also right next to what I can only assume is the boiler, which was hard to sleep next to as it constantly emits a sound and, at one point in the night, woke us both up with loud noises that lasted for about 5-10 minutes. Again, this isn’t something within the owner’s control, just something to take note of if you plan on staying here. The walls are pretty thin and you can hear other guests go in and out, which wasn’t a problem to us, but could be if you’re a light sleeper. All in all, it’s a good value for the money if you’re just looking for a place to rest your head at night."

"Of all the Airs that I’ve stayed in over the years, this was one of my absolute favorites. This place is a gem. It’s in what I consider an up-and-coming spot in Pittsburgh that’s conveniently located in decent walking distance to the T and to all the good bars and eateries on Carson. The only downfall with this location is that, when walking back from the T late at night, the walk back was a little sketchy. Beyond that, the house looks newly renovated and was exceptionally clean. I’d stay here again when visiting Pittsburgh in a heartbeat."
