Luxurious Hideaway with a Skyline View

Hiya! We are Grace and Chibi, welcome to our luxurious apartment with an amazing VIEW! This amazing architecture of a home has all the conveniences desired. This home is located on a private street in a quiet neighborhood. Hop on PA28, which you can take directly to downtown (Heinz Field, PNC Park, PPG Area), Lawrenceville, the universities, hospitals and more. All are between 5-10 mins drive. Conveniently located near by to local breweries and music venues!

Our home has a total of 2 units, and this secondary unit has 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. We have 1 King Bed, 1 Queen Bed, and 2 sleeper sofas. Our kitchen is full with dishware like martini glasses, a Keurig, utensils, and different cooking supplies. Smart TV with Roku, closet space, and plenty of living room seating offers all the basic perks & amenities for a small group. With lots of windows to see the river and Pittsburgh skyline (especially at night!!), comfy furnishings & personal touches, this is a great place to lay your head after a day of city life!

Guests have access to the entire apartment. This apartment is a secondary unit. Both units on the property are separate and have their own entrances. The only shared space on the property is the backyard and driveway, which you will share with guests residing in the primary unit. You are also free to park on the street.

Our home is open for families! Keep in mind we have a pack and play for you to use, but other areas are not baby-proofed. (We do not have baby gates, kitchen cabinet locks, toilet lock, etc.) You will need to have full eyes on your little one!

We also are open to pets as well. Keep in mind the house rules of not allowing your pets on any furniture. They are not allowed on beds, couches, etc.

We have a strict no parties and events house rule.

Since we are so close to the woods, bugs can get into our home very easily. Please be mindful about keeping the door and windows closed to help prevent bugs from getting in. Thank you!

Our neighborhood is a quiet and residential street. Many families live near by. Our home is at the end of our street, and it is more private. To recline the sleeper sofa in the TV room to be a flat bed, gently push up on the back until you hear a click, then gently recline it down to the flat position.

Please treat our house with the same respect as you would your own home. We’ve put a lot of effort into making this into a lovely space to be enjoyed by our guests.

NO PARTIES, WEDDINGS, OR EVENTS!

By booking, the guest agrees to a security deposit hold on their method of payment by their booking platform. It will be released shortly after check-out if all rules are honored. It is the booking guest’s responsibility to make sure ALL registered guests in the group honor all House Rules, as the release of the hold is based on that.
