It was the perfect crash pad. Me and my buddy’s chose this spot because of its proximity to Pittsburgh and the NFL draft. The apartment was clean, and was just enough space for all our needs. Plus it was close to the Waterfront which had restaurants and shopping if we needed anything. If I was taking a group back to that area again I would book this spot again.

Our host, Holly, was great with communication and answered all questions in a timely manner. The “Crash Pad” was as advertised, a space to land in between activities.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The location is ideal. It is walking distance from shops, restaurants, the river bike and walking trail. There was a playground across the street. The place was not clean. There was dust, trash under the beds and dressers. Some of the bedding had stains on it. I would not recommend this. My asthma was exacerbated by something in there. I had to lesve.

Clean, great for the price

The property was clean, the communication with the manager was fast. It wasn't very sound proof and I could hear the tenants below pretty clearly but was an easy resting place after my conference.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
The apartment is in a clearly uninhabitable and unsanitary condition. Upon entering, there is an immediate and persistent sewage odor coming from the bathroom, suggesting underlying plumbing issues. This is reinforced by a note attached to the showerhead indicating known piping issues, raising concerns about both hygiene and functionality. The unit has not been properly cleaned. There is visible debris on the bed, indicating that linens were not changed or the space was not prepared for a new guest. The bathtub is also dirty, with residue and buildup that make it unsuitable for use. The windows are so heavily coated with grime that they are effectively opaque, making it difficult to see outside and contributing to the overall sense of neglect. In addition, the apartment is excessively hot and uncomfortable. The thermostat is not working and the air conditioning is not functioning. I have texted the host regarding these issues and have received no response. The temperature inside the unit has reached approximately 87 degrees, making the space feel like a sauna and not reasonably livable. Overall, the condition of the apartment falls well below basic standards of cleanliness, maintenance, and habitability expected for a short-term rental.

Las habitaciones son amplias, la cocina tiene un tamaño aceptable pero mi opinión es que el baño es pequeño. Yo soy una persona alta y como el lugar es un ático, hay algunas zonas donde el techo es muy bajo y hay que tener cuidado con eso, en general no es un problema aunque en el baño por ser pequeño es más notorio. En una de las recámaras no hay un armario, y tenerlo ayudaría mucho para guardar la ropa. Igualmente por ser el ático, hay que subir a un tercer nivel, y para mi y mi familia no fue un problema pero podría díficil para personas con alguna limitación física. El lugar está lleno de conexiones eléctricas lo que ayuda mucho si tienes varios dispositivos. La cocina cuenta con todos los elementos básicos aunque nosotros sólo usamos el micro-ondas en una ocasión, pero funcionó sin problema. La regadera del baño funciona bien pero tenía un letrero de que no se debía mover porque podía averiarse, nosotros no la tocamos y no tuvimos problemas para bañarnos pero si da la impresión de que está un poco endeble. En mi opinión la relación calidad-precio es muy buena, me pareció económico contra otros lugares que revisé en la zona, y tiene algunos detalles pero creo que al no ser un lugar caro considero que es bueno para lo que pagué.
