Geranium Room in Bed & Breakfast

Julie was a wonderful host and her place was both comfortable and welcoming. The location is also perfect and close to many coffee shops, restaurants, and other business well worth patronizing. Can't say enough good things about the experience or our stay. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed staying with Julie in Lawrenceville. The room was clean, homey, with great light and space for living. Julie was endlessly helpful throughout my stay with everything from answering my questions, to finding me a spot in the house to keep my bike. I can very much recommend julie's geranium room to anyone passing through Pittsburgh.

Julie was friendly and helpful; no issues. The house is in a pleasant section of Lawrenceville. The Geranium room is spacious and has a legitimate view of distant skyscrapers. Unclear in the photos: the desk in the corner has a larger work surface that folds out, and there is also a closet complete with iron and board.

Julie was very nice & helpful. She was not intrusive but was friendly & helpful when we asked. The parking permit was a great perk. The room was big, spacious & clean. The downside was that the bathroom linked to the Geranium Room was downstairs, about 18 steps. Our room had a small video screen, & VCR but no TV or cable. For the price, seems like those amenities would have been included. (Friends stayed at a nearby B&B and payed for 6 days what we payed for 2. & they had a balcony, private bath & kitchen. The down side was that the owners were "nice but weird" & not as professional as Julie. So,

Julie's B&B is exactly what's pictured here. There were no surprises at all. It was great! She went above and beyond making sure my parents had a place to stay during Hurricane Irene when they couldn't leave the burgh because of it. My parents aren't from around here so they had lots of questions to ask and Julie was kind enough to answer them all and more. If my parents ever make it back to the burgh Julie will be getting a call from us! Thanks again!

**review for Palace Garden** Where to begin! Staying here was such a treat: impossibly high ceilings, a chandelier light fixture with a dial dimmer switch, view of trees in the distance out the window, choice of AC or fresh air (via the window), choice of pillows (feather or regular), complimentary toiletries, space glorious space everywhere (the bedroom, the hallways, the staircases, the kitchenette, the communal living room on the first floor). Breakfast was nutritious and healthy, with choices: a generous supply of fruit, Kashi cereal, soymilk, and a view! Gorgeously quaint ivy hems a window in the kitchenette that looks out on Julie's neighbors' yards, my favorite room, so light and airy. To add, there was communal chocolate and other little snacks should the need to feed arise. Calming color scheme and "just-enough" decor to make things homey. Julie is a gem! She pointed me to Frick Park for strolling, and let me utilize her parking permit. I parked right in front of her place every evening, and there was always space available.

Julie is a fine hostess, very accommodating and thoughtful. Lawrencville can't be beat for those who want to experience a real Pittsburgh neighborhood.

I loved everything about my stay with Julie. She communicated early and often, the house was clean, her area of town offered easy access to all of Pittsburgh. Julie herself was knowledgeable and eager to offer assistance upon my request. Her breakfast menu was as good or better than any continental breakfast at a chain hotel. I was happy to have Julie be one of my first Pittsburgh experiences. I woud stay there again in a heartbeat, but I moved to Pittsburgh. Thanks Julie.

The place was exactly as shown in the photos. Julie's place in Lawrenceville is pretty convenient. 2 different bus lines within short walking distance. Going downhill there is a little strip of shops and restaurants (and bowling). Bathrooms were very clean. Kitchenette was nice. Cat was unobtrusive. Bed was comfortable. Julie was very worried about some construction that went on outside 1 morning, but that was out of her control. It didn't bother us, but her concern was nice.

We had a great time. Pittsburgh is just like Julie's House... victorian, quiet and friendly! Enjoy. Pasamos divino. Pittsburgh es como la casa de Julie, victoriano, tranquilo y amable. Que lo disfruten!

A nice place to stay! Easy parking on the street and a cozy atmosphere. I would definitely stay here again.

Julie was the perfect host! she replied to my last minute reservation and met me at the apt with keys in hand. The apt is the perfect size. The neighborhood is close to area attractions and the neighbors are very nice.Would absoutely stay there again!

My stay was perfect. The small house was convenient for me as my son lives nearby-the street was very quiet (great for sleeping!). I felt safe and secure. The property was clean, comfortable and warm! Julie met me there the day I arrived and assured me she would be available should I have any needs or questions. I will definitely stay there again. thanks Julie!

Julie was a great hostess. The Palace Garden room was very cozy and the location of the Briarwood Inn is within walking distance of a bunch of cafes and restaurants. Parking on the street was always available and the B&B is just a short drive to downtown. I'd definitely stay here again!

A cozy place at a good price in Lawrenceville, an interesting and upcoming neighborhood. Still very new and in need of a few changes Julie will no doubt attend to.

We stayed at the Briarwood Home right after Christmas to visit family who live in the area. The house was very nice and Julie was wonderful like always. Thank you! Happy New Year!

We really enjoyed staying here. It was quiet, rooms were comfortable, and it was close to places we wanted to visit. Julie was wonderful in accommodating us for an extra night on short notice.

The host canceled my reservation 12 days before arrival.

Lovely place. Julie was very helpful and friendly and made sure I had everything I could need. I'll stay there again.

It is very nice place to stay. The host is very nice and helpful. I would love to go back there.

Nice clean, sunny room like being home! close to the city of Pittsburgh and bus line would stay again, T.B., Carmel,Calfi.
