There were several positive aspects of this property, including its convenient proximity to activities and amenities, pleasant neighborhood, and spacious historic character. However, there were also several issues that affected our experience. The house is advertised as accommodating 10 guests, but the available beds consist of three queen- or king-size beds and two twin beds, which provide standard bed space for eight people. It was not clear to us how the additional two guests were expected to sleep.One of the sleeping areas is also an open loft overlooking the main living area. Because it has limited sound separation and privacy, larger groups may want to take that into account.We also found that the kitchen did not include basic cooking staples such as salt and pepper. In addition, we observed some cleaning concerns, including trash beneath the couches, along with a few relatively minor maintenance issues.Overall, the house was spacious, attractive, and very conveniently located. However, given the rental rate, we expected clearer sleeping arrangements and greater attention to cleaning, kitchen basics, and maintenance.

Henry’s place was beautiful. We enjoyed staying there and it was clean and was exactly as described in the pics. The host was very responsive and accommodating. We didn’t get a chance to explore the area but would definitely stay here again.

Hi - We requested access to the property a month in advance to make sure it would work for our guests but the property owner was not willing to accommodate a quick meeting. There are some nice features to the house and lots of space, but many of the cheap flip features now common in vrbo investment properties (for example: broken drawers, a wood feature wall with price tags still all over the wood, not great beds, etc.). The basement room off the stairs and the cellar entrance were also creepy.

We stayed here the weekend after Christmas for a few nights, along with my Mom. We were able to have a nice family holiday gathering with the family from the area. The property is perfect for a group, especially one that plans to cook. There is a little market around the corner; close enough to walk actually. <br/>Be aware that, like most old Pittsburgh homes, bedrooms mean climbing stairs; and the master suite is on the third floor; so getting up and down can be a project, depending on your mobility. <br/>There's plenty of space for a group to spread out and relax and have fun. We were able to watch the finale of Pluribus downstairs, while those of us who weren't caught up could watch a movie in the living room upstairs. <br/>Host was very responsive and helpful; even brought over some extra dining room chairs for us and helped us work the dishwasher.

We are local Pittsburghers who hosted our extended family for Thanksgiving and they stayed at Henry’s beautiful old home, located perfectly in Highland Park close to businesses and the park. The house is spacious with comfortable beds and multiple areas to relax in. The young ones especially loved the basement space with TV, pool table and darts. Henry was easy and pleasant to communicate with, and very helpful! Our only complaint is that the kitchen, while beautiful, was not well stocked and not very functional for making family meals or dining together. If you were planning to takeout or eat simple you probably wouldn’t notice, though.

We love our stay here. The neighborhood is beautiful. Cleanliness and the parking situation is huge for us. This place met those expectations. Highly recommended if you're looking for a large place to stay.
