This is a third floor walk-up apartment which is nestled in-between two shady London Plane Trees. There is always plenty of free parking on the street and the apartment is located within 1 block of 3 well-rated restaurants, the best coffeeshop in the city, a small convenience market selling many local, organic foods, and a Saturday morning bakery that is worth waking up for. Highland Park is four blocks away and is home to beautiful gardens, short nature trails, a reservoir, and a magical, wooden, castle-like playground. After you've filled up with good food and have gotten your outdoor fix, two buses stop at the corner and will take you to Oakland or Downtown for entertainment.
I arrange my home as a quiet, simple, relaxing retreat and hope that others can find healing and nourishment there. There are plenty of books for reading, a radio for listening, wifi for surfing, and a DVD player for viewing. You will have the entire apartment to yourself for your entire stay, however as a host, I will welcome you and leave some materials to help you find your way around.
Some specifics on the apartment:
The bedroom gets brilliant morning light. Clean bed linens, fluffed pillows and a fresh duvet will greet you upon arrival. This room has a desk, a reading chair, a chest for storage and a full size bed.
The living room has a vaulted ceiling with wooden beams and a ceiling fan. It is cozy and warm in the evenings and is a wonderful place to unwind after a day of exploring. There is a television and DVD player in this room, however there is no cable television or antenna box in the apartment.
If you have more than one or two guests in your party or have some little ones tagging along, the couch and full-size aerobed are available for sleeping, too. The apartment could reasonably accommodate up to 4 folks who are friendly with each other.
The kitchen is decorated with photographs from my travels. It has all basic necessities for cooking and plenty of dishes for serving. You may use the refrigerator, too. To get you started, I leave items for a self-serve continental breakfast.
The bathroom is tiny but functional. It has only a shower stall (no bathtub). I try to be eco-friendly and have a small hot water tank to conserve both water and energy. I provide plenty of clean towels and linens for your use.
My apartment is pet free aside from my unexpectedly hearty goldfish, Olive. My downstairs neighbor does have two cats.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions about the apartment or with any special needs related to arrangements.
I hope you have a good stay in Pittsburgh!
