Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

We rented the house to bring our granddaughter to her 98 year old grandmother, for a family Thanksgiving and it turned out to be a great choice. Very comfortable for the 5 of us staying there. The furnishings suit the house perfectly. We especially appreciated the crib, the booster seat; we didn’t expect so many children’s toy, a nice surprise. Negatives were parking and higher than expected level of street noise in 2 of the bedrooms. Overall, however, a very good experience.

Perfect location to visit our student at Pitt. House had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. House was huge. Lots of rooms and space. Driveway is narrow but we were fine with that, just be aware of it.

Have had the opportunity to rent various places over our 4 years visiting Pitt. I rank this one of the best we've had. The location was ideal for getting to campus and graduation. Space in house is perfect for catching up with everyone and all the comforts. Easy check in great communication with host. Highly Recc

We came with a group of 6 friends. The house is well located near Pitt and Carnegie Melon. The house is spacious with 4 usable bedrooms for adults. The furniture is older and one of the beds was very mushy. The AC wasn’t great. We had to crank the AC to cool the 2nd Fl, so the first floor got quite cool while it was not so cool on the 2nd floor. The 3rd floor only has a portable AC unit in the Bedroom and it marginally cools. The PM was generally responsive and came to fix some things when we asked. It’s a fine place to stay when visiting Pittsburgh.

This house is a classic and it is massive! We had a large group that had plenty of space to spread out! The location was also optimal with nice views and an easy drive to campus or downtown. Highly recommend!

Ah-mazing
The house was so clean. The beds were dangerously comfortable. We all slept in because the beds were awesome. The rooms also were quiet considering what a busy street it was one. It was close to everything we wanted. We will definitely come again.

Convenient & suitable for group
We were in Pittsburgh for a family function. The home is suitable for a large family. 2 king beds were a plus for us since we had 2 >6 ft tall. The location is convenient to downtown and Univ of Pittsburgh. It was 10 min drive to downtown. It overlooks U of P. Main drawback is parking. We had a large vehicle that didn’t fit in the tight driveway but there was space along the street. The front bedroom had some street noise at night but was ok. Coffee maker is keurig style & we were grateful for the cups supplied! We didn’t cook (only made breakfast) so can’t comment on kitchen utilization. Overall, comfy home and would recommend.
