South Side Slopes is a neighborhood in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's South Side area. The neighborhood comprises the hills from the South Side Flats neighborhood along the Monongahela River from the Liberty Bridge (west) to beyond Josephine Street (east). In many parts of the South Side Slopes, homes offer panoramic views of the city skyline that span the distance from beyond McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, to Homestead, Pennsylvania. Many homes are perched well above the city skyline. This neighborhood provides access to the South Side Flats by various means, including the many public staircases. Every autumn the South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association (SSSNA) hosts its annual "StepTrek", where participants travel over the various public step streets. Pittsburgh, like many cities in the United States built on hillsides, classifies public staircases as streets. The hills being steep, staircases allowed access to the different parts of the slopes neighborhood. The SSSNA hopes to maintain the staircases as a legacy of its history as a mining town. The Mission Street steps between Oakley Street and Barry Street in addition to the top of Yard Way off Pius St. offer views of the South Side Flats neighborhood and downtown Pittsburgh. These public staircases are sometimes called paper streets, being pedestrian streets shown on City maps but not accessible by vehicles. South Side Park is a City Park with hiking trails, a small orchard patch and views of the City of Pittsburgh skyline. It is home to many species of birds, small animals and deer. It contains a small wetlands area, complete with cattails and many species of wildlife. Black locust trees form a mature canopy over the park. It also includes a community garden at the former Bandi Schaum baseball field on the lower plateau off Mission Street across from the Mission Street water pumping station. A cor-ten sculpture representing the neighborhood's topography and buildings is on display in the garden of Paul of the Cross Monastery. There is an apartment below this rental. There is no shared space. It is completely separate. Smoking will incur at $300 fine to the guest ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower/bathtub combination - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,615 square feet ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 3:00 PM Contactless check-in and check-out are available Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).

The hosts communicate very well and the house has everything you need. It is a quiet neighborhood, but be prepared for steep alley type streets. It is very nice that the property has a driveway for 2 cars. ##### Lorna S.

My fiancé and I stayed here for our trip to Pittsburgh and absolutely loved it. We enjoyed how clean the house was and how close it was to downtown Pittsburgh while still off in a quiet neighborhood. We’d definitely look to book again if the house is available when we return! ##### Ian G. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kimberly 30 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We planned to have a quintessential Pittsburgh experience and the House on the Hill was the perfect choice. Every trip up and down to it was an adventure. Easy drive to where we wanted to be...museums, stadium, strip district, inclines etc. We enjoyed exploring the restaurants and shops on the south side. The actual house was modern, comfortable and equipped with everything we needed. ##### Kimberly Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex H. 12 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Stay in Pittsburgh!

All the furnishings were very clean and new and has a nice patio. We used the pull out sofa bed and it was comfortable. It’s a top a hill with great city views and close to literally everything. We found great food and ice cream on Carson St. and a fun splash pad for my kiddo at Arlington Field. Neighborhood is safe, friendly neighbors, and many homes are getting revitalized. Sarah, the property manager was very helpful and responsive whenever we had a question. ##### Brianna V. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Debra T. 20 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Getting There Challenging Staying Less So Glad I was familiar with driving in this area. The location was a short drive to shopping and restaurants. The drive to the property and parking ingress and egress can be challenging. Entrance was not well lit and should be cleaned/repaired. The unit was clean and well appointed. Problems with tv remotes. Could only get one to work for the husband. Next day lock would not activate as I was leaving for the day. Reasonable response time with batteries for the lock and additional remotes. None of them worked. Problem is that the tvs needed connection to internet. Need access to tv menu which could not be accessed with any of the remotes or tv interface. I am tech savvy and bring devices. No time for that. Everything should be working when guests arrive. Though unit was lovely; more attention should be paid to routine maintenance. ##### Debra T.

The only trouble we had was parking/ leaving the driveway we were in a large SUV and experienced some trouble spots when leaving and arriving back at the location. Regular sized vehicle would most likely have no trouble. ##### BRANDON M.

Extremely clean. Perfect home for our group of two couples. No issues with the home at all. Enjoyed having the driveway to park in as well. Great location, easy drive to the city or plenty of food nearby ##### Jason D. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michele F. 30 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### 4 week stay… recovering from surgery Robert and Sarah were very accommodating. we had a couple small issues in the beginning but they were handled very quickly and professionally. The reason I gave the location and neighborhood a three star instead of a five is because we live in a different state where all the roads are flat. Everything in PA is very hilly and sharp, steep turns. So for us that was the downfall, however if you’re used to PA then it should be fine! Overall I would highly recommend both Sarah and Robert and any other properties they have to offer. Thank you to both of you for all you did for us!! You were both wonderful!! ##### Michele F. Stayed 28 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bobbie W. 20 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Worth the hills This home is in a very convenient location to many of the key sites in Pittsburgh! Other reviewers talk about the hills, and there were hills, but that is what provides such a wonderful view of Pittsburgh. The rooms were clean and spacious and driveway parking was good for two cars. One caution is that the stairs to the second bedroom are steep but they reminded me of my mom’s and grandmother’s homes. No problem unless you are someone with balance issues. ##### Bobbie W. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ziggy K. 11 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great views and easy to get to city We were in town to go to a Steelers game and enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is located on some pretty steep one lane hills but we navigated without issue. Sarah was very responsive to our requests. The recent roadwork in front of the house was just about complete when we were there and it didn't cause us any issues getting in and out. Traveling to and from the center of Pittsburgh was easy and the south side slopes bars and restaurants were great. ##### Ziggy K.

The home was also beautiful. Only complaint was the Mon-Fri construction we were not informed of. Was quite and inconvenience. Other than that it was perfect! Thank you! ##### Kelley R. ### 8/10 Good #### rick b. 6 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Really nice interior. Hard to navigate the weekend we were there. Beautifully renovated house. Location is ok but the weekend we were there, it was impossible to get around. Almost every road was closed for construction. Couldn't park at the property or get uber rides because of this. Not the owners fault but a pain i wish i knew about. I would recommend this property despite this. ##### rick b.

Communication with the owners were easy and they were always immediately available if needed. Some reviews complained of the narrow roads, and although they were tough, they were 100% manageable. We will also check to see if there is availability here if we visit again ##### Sarah F.

In a historic blue-collar neighborhood on the steep slopes overlooking the city. Great view but only from the windows in the two bedrooms. Very nicely renovated interior with modern kitchen and bathrooms. Host was very responsive and immediately remedied the couple minor issues that did come up. Would definitely stay here again. ##### John H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021
