Wonderful hostess, peaceful neighborhood
We had a great time at Erela's place! There were three of us, including my 6 year old granddaughter. There were plenty of kid's games and books for her to enjoy. There is freeway noise at the house, but it actually made for good sleeping, and their neighborhood is very peaceful- incredible that it is just 3 miles from the 2 major universities and many museums. We enjoyed riding the bus (7 min walk) and getting groceries in the neighborhood (15 min walk). Erela checked in with us and made sure we had everything we needed- we plan to stay again!

Weekend stay
Nice and clean, right by the highway so a bit noisy but convenient location to Schenley Park, Squirrel Hill, and Oakland makes up for it

Thank you for your review. Please note that the listing for the house clearly states that the house is located by the interstate and it is noisy . Perhaps you were not aware of that ?

Everything I needed
Stayed here for two nights and loved it. The place was very comfortable and felt very safe. Very quick access to 376, Schenley Park, and Shadyside. I would love to stay here again next time I’m back in Pittsburgh.

Great spot for Parents’ Weekend!
The listing is accurate - quaint, easy parking, road noise (didn’t bother us at all). Convenient place to stay with great communication from Erela (kindly allowed our arrival an hour early). Beds were comfy and kitchen met our limited needs. TV streaming lagged a bit, but we weren’t there for TV. I would stay again!

Very cute
We went to Pittsburg to see Eric Clapton. Not knowing anything about the area we were very pleased with the location of our place. I do not remember seeing that it was upstairs but it wasn’t a problem for us. It could be for others not as physically fit though. It was staged nicely but was not as clean as we would have liked. Even with that we would stay again.

Family trip of 5 back home to Pgh!!!
This was a family trip back home to Pgh after six years of not visiting. We were coming from SC for my aunt's 75th Birthday, and needed a location that would accommodate myself, my husband, and our 3 kids. We decided to go with Vrbo instead of an Abnb due to costs, and issues we've had in the past with booking; let's just say I'm so happy we did! Erela was amazing from start to finish! She made sure to ask for information on what we would need for each of our children upon arrival so we didnt have to pack so many additional items (pack n play, high chair, games, etc) and also approved my request to check in early since we were traveling from out of tpwn with children and were unsure about our arrival. I did forget how hot the houses could in the Summer since not all houses in Pgh have central air, but the town home did have window units in each immediate room (livingroom, both bedrooms). If you are looking for a unit that is easily accesible, nice neighborhood, and great host, would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Excellent, cozy place
Wonderful stay!!. The place is amazing. It is beautiful inside and cozy. Myself and my sons felt the couches and beds are comfortable. There was no problem finding on street parking in front of the house. The house was within minutes from many of the main attractions Pittsburgh has to offer. The owner is gracious and available if anything is needed. I highly recommend staying if you are considering a trip to Pittsburgh.

A gem of an apartment in a great location!
My brother and I really enjoyed our stay in this wonderful apartment! The living room was lovely and comfortable! The kitchen/dining area was darling, and it was nice to have an office available! The outside of the house was adorable and I loved the front patio. The location was excellent! We enjoyed the neighborhood and the very close proximity to all the great places in the beautiful city of Pittsburgh. Erela has done a wonderful job with the apartment. The communication was excellent; any questions were answered very quickly! I definitely recommend this apartment. It’s quite a gem!!!

Close to everything
We came to Pittsburgh for a tournament and this property was close to everything. They were attentive to our needs. The house is in a busy area so there is a crazy amount a traffic, the window air conditioning units helped to drown out the highway sounds. For our needs the place worked out great.

Great Pittsburgh stay
We enjoyed our stay at Erela’s property. The house was comfortable and Erela was very nice and easy to communicate with. We appreciated the off street parking, the extra double high air mattress that we weren’t expecting and the little touches like the filled candy bowl in the living room. We would recommend Erela’s place for a Pittsburgh visit.

Great little place.. will be back.
Host is very gracious, is on top of things 100%. Clean, roomy, cozy.. thanks for the candy 😊 Everything you need..plus minutes from Pitt, such an easy drive. Easy on/off of 376, nice neighborhood with abundant street spots available. Little creaky..so I apologize to the folks downstairs for any annoyance during the later hours. Slight noise issue, I mean you are next to highway..but it wasn't terrible, yet should be mentioned. Full kitchen, anything you need is within 5 minutes, and it's about 10min to UPMC. Easy peasy.. Really nice, homey place to relax..furniture comfortable, lots of space to breath. All in all, I'd certainly stay here again and most likely will.

Nice weekend get-together
Erela went out of her way to make my family's stay enjoyable. She responded immediately, and helpfully, to make sure that everything went smoothly. The home was comfortable, clean, and attractive. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The living room and dining room were welcoming and allowed for family together time. The kitchen was set up for easy food preparation. In addition, the home is conveniently located. My family was able to spend a lovely weekend together in preparation for my daughter's graduation. Thank you, Erela, for making a memorable occasion even more memorable.

4 stars
Great owner -- communication was easy (tho she doesnt use text). Just make sure the app emails you and she's great. House is good -- clean and easy access to highways. Pretty central. Only negative (and not much) is that its right between a highway and a major road/off-ramp. It can get a little noisy if you're sensitive, but it wasn't an issue for us. (We were able to work and sleep quite well -- noise only a problem if your sensitive to that kind of thing -- and I'm a light sleeper.)
