We have happily lived in this loft for over 10 years and will gladly share our experience and advice with you. We also try to provide our guests with directions, recommendations, written reviews etc., especially folks from out-of-town, who have never visited Pittsburgh. If you have any questions or need advice please do not hesitate to ask.
And please, make sure to examine all the enclosed photos and read the entire listing, especially the part about house rules, policies etc.-first. So often we are asked to explain details which are already clearly stated and/or shown in photos in the listing.
To ensure a good & trustful relationship we like to learn a little about our guests and the goals and expectations they have for the visit prior to accepting a booking. This also helps us come up with possible recommendations and some custom-tailored advice for your stay.
IMPORTANT- PLEASE NOTE:
The person renting our place has to be over 21 years of age and will be legally responsible for the other guests in the group.
Hope to see you soon!
Awesome place. 2nd time we have stayed. Great owner and great communication
Owner was wonderful!!
Ben is the Best host for sure in Pittsburg. The condo was very clean, if I’m coming back to PA this place is a must rent.
Great location and condo. Walked to Steelers game and Pirates game. Strip District is even closer. Owner was very responsive and had the place stocked like no VRBO I ever stayed in (Milk, Donughts, fresh bread, coffee, bottled water and lots more).
We had a great stay at Bens place. It’s close to downtown/the strip district/sports stadiums so we were able to walk everywhere. Ben was a great host.
We came for an event at the convention center. This location was perfect for us. Ben provided a good supply of breakfast items and gave us some bread from a local bakery. He met us to let us in and show us around. There was good communication throughout the whole process. The loft was spacious and well supplied. We were very happy with our stay.
Sonroomy easy to get everywhere. Excellent will definitely dtay again.
Great location to walk to a lot of areas. Came to a steeler game had a great stay
Renting was quick and easy. Thank you Ben for all your advise
Owner met us at check in, showed us around and explained the property. He answered all of our questions and gave us info on the area. Property was nicely updated and supplied with most of the basics (eggs, milk pop, juice etc) . Bars and restaurants close by. Property had all the blankets, towels, sheets etc that we needed. The garage was nice to have. Would stay here again.
