Comfortable home with an artful flair close to PNC, museums and restaurants..

The ArtHouse was built in the 1920's and welcomes you with a spacious covered front porch, a small yard. Colorful art from around the globe will make you feel at home in this cozy corner of Pittsburgh. Natural light fills the comfortable living room that flows into the dining room and kitchen on the first floor. The dining table is large enough to seat 6 or more and there is a kitchen island for extra table surface/serving area. The kitchen has natural butcher block counter tops, turquoise folk art and a view of the back yard off the back porch. You will find flatware, dishes and cooking utensils to accommodate most of your cooking and dining needs.There is a Keurig coffee machine.

Upstairs are two bedrooms and a sitting room with a futon bed. One queen sized bed, one full sized bed and the sitting room has lots of games to choose from. There is Wifi available for work and entertainment. Sleep will be a dream on the delightful Nectar mattresses, total blackout shades and ceiling fans adding to your sleeping comfort. A recently renovated full bath is located upstairs and a Pittsburgh Potty is in the basement.

This house has historic charm - if you're looking for a new construction stay - this might not be the place for you. The convenient East Liberty location is close to the zoo, aquarium, Highland Park, many universities, the Strip, restaurants, grocery store options and so much more!

House was clean and had what we needed for our stay! Janet was very responsive and even left us a gift card for yummy donuts in the strip district. As she says, it is an old house, so the stairs and floors creak when you walk around, but everything functions fine — even the Pittsburgh potty in the basement! My kiddos enjoyed the board games. There’s not a separate AC split unit in the room with the futon, but it got cool enough in the evenings that it was fine. Shower water is hot which was lovely.

Great house and location!

Some friends and I had a great stay here. The location is perfect to get to Highland Park/East Liberty/Shadyside or over the hill to Lawrenceville. The house was clean and we enjoyed using the kitchen to cook some meals. We will definitely stay here again when in town to visit family.

Well decorated!

The best parts about this stay are the very comfortable beds (although they might be a bit tight for 2 sleepers), quality AC units in bedrooms, beautiful decor, easy-to-use security system, Netflix in the living room, and we never had an issue parking outside. I am happy we stayed here.

Super clean, very comfortable, and great location

The place was the perfect size for my group of friends. It was an easy location to have as our homebase as we explored. Pittsburgh and I especially enjoyed getting up early and climbing up to the Garfield community garden at the top of the hill. Everything was just as described, and it’s a place I would definitely recommend to others looking for a comfortable space to enjoy Pittsburgh from

Nice getaway

We were in town for the Taylor Swift concert and had a nice stay at Janet's place. The house was spacious and comfortable. The only con I would say is that the area was not very walkable.

The location was perfect for our stay in Pittsburgh. I was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the house. The amenities were right on and provided us with the comforts of our own home. The property owner was very responsive to any questions or concerns I had and made me feel right at home. Looking forward to my next stay at the Art House.

The house was like it was described in the listing. It was very spacious for our family of 5. When we arrived, all the upstairs windows were open, making the house very cold since it was in the 40s. Directions on how to set the heat would be helpful. There were about 4-5 modes to choose from on the thermostat controllers. Overall, it was a good experience. The host, Janet, was very easy to work with and responsive to my questions.

We ended up coming to town during the Marathon weekend. It was not ideal since we wanted to get to the strip but it was not feasible for getting out of town. We enjoyed the VRBO we chose, quiet neighborhood and easy to get around.

A great property!

We had a wonderful stay. The house was in pristine condition when we checked in, the beds were very comfortable, and the house was nicely decorated. There was plenty of space and everything we needed for supplies in the kitchen and plenty of clean towels, which were a nice touch! Parking was easy to find, and the house has a nice little yard area. Janet was very friendly and the check in and check out processes were a breeze! I tend to have high standards with where I stay, and this property definitely exceeded those. I would definitely book this house for a future stay in Pittsburgh. Thanks Janet!!

Nice house

We stayed for a month with two small kids. The garden and patio were nice to play. The house was comfy and Janet was quick to help us with questions and needs we had. We do think the pictures are a little flattering, the house does have neighbors and is not very big. At the time of our stay the third bedroom was not equipped for a long stay, with an old couch and lack of a fan. She did tell us she worked on our feedback.
