We loved our stay in the late 1800's renovated apartment/boarding house, but, it is not for the faint of heart. Four flights of narrow, steep stairs would be difficult for some people to negotiate. The main living area with kitchen, dining, and TV lounge is beautifully and comfortably renovated while still retaining vestiges in the form of wooden doors, flooring, and windows from an earlier age. The bedrooms are comfortable if somewhat sparsely furnished though the back bedroom is in need of blinds or shades. The fourth flight takes one to the "party kitchen" and a roof top deck with the most spectacular views of downtown Pittsburgh. That said, the wooden deck and chairs and table are all in need of refinishing and upkeep, as are many little details in the home. Regardless we loved the enormous space and general feel of the house which kept offering surprises. Another aspect of "not for the faint of heart" is that though the neighborhood is in transition and being revitalized with some very interesting, innovative yet reasonably priced restaurants and other businesses, vestiges of "down and out" linger. (But then, what city in the world today doesn't.) Nevertheless, would we stay here again? Absolutely. In a heartbeat!
