Description
One bedroom, one bathroom 2nd floor apartment located in Lower Lawrenceville with easy access to downtown, the Strip District, Shadyside, and our own very walkable neighborhood. You'll be able to park right behind the property and walk to a ton of coffee shops, yoga, art galleries, shops, and restaurants.
There is a washer/dryer in the bathroom. The kitchen has a dishwasher. The second bed is a pullout couch in the living room. Every window has a shade you can pull down to keep out the light.
There is one bathroom with a separate toilet room, a hallway with a closet by the front door, an open kitchen that flows into the living room (with a sofa that can be turned into a full bed with very little effort), a bedroom with a queen bed and a closet, and a large deck with a table and seating area on the rear of the building.
Guests enter the building either from the back parking pad or from the front on Penn Ave with two steps up into a central stairwell. The apartment is on the second floor. There's a keycode on the apartment door that will be provided to the guests and physical keys that are accessed through a lockbox to enter the stairwell for the building.
We have lived in Pittsburgh for 10 years and have plenty of recommendations. See our guidebooks or ask if you're looking for anything specific. We live in the building and one of us is usually around so message us for any questions or help we can provide during your stay
Lawrenceville is a long, thin neighborhood that hugs the Allegheny River north of downtown Pittsburgh. It sits right next to the Strip District, Polish Hill, Bloomfield, Friendship, Garfield, and Stanton Heights. Butler Street is the main stretch of Lawrenceville and contains most of the neighborhood's restaurants, shops, cafes, bars, and breweries. Please see our guidebook for the attractions we want to highlight.
It’s very easy to get around Pittsburgh from our building! Here are the best options
• Two bus lines run on Penn Ave (one direction to downtown, the other direction to Oakland) and another bus line runs on Butler Street for additional options
• If you are driving in, the city is pretty accessible with most areas less than 15 minutes away. It can be confusing to figure out which lane to be in so pay close attention to a GPS, especially on a bridge. Parking is fairly easy in most areas but it can take a minute to find a spot on a side street. Expect to walk at least a bit if you’re going to any busy neighborhood like the South Side.
• Walking is a great option for Lawrenceville. You can easily stroll to most destinations within 20 minutes and making it to some other neighborhoods like Bloomfield also within 20 minutes. Pittsburgh is a hilly city so come prepared with that knowledge.
• If you’re bringing bikes or want to rent one from the POGOH system, you’ll just have to be aware that it is a hilly city so that can slow you down. The city is very bikeable though, with lots of bike lanes. Follow your GPS directions for the most direct routes.
Coffee: we provide a French press, a 4 cup drip coffee marker, and pour over with filters for use during your stay. Bring your own grounds with the right grind you prefer or you can purchase some from any of the multiple coffee shops located within a 5 minute walk of the apartment. We highly recommend going to any of the locations listed in our Lawrenceville guidebook for delicious espresso drinks as well.
Tea: we provod tea steepers and an electric kettle for your use during your stay. Guests have left behind an assortment of tea bags and sweetness but feel free to bring your own as well.
