Not so tiny house with full kitchen & patio swing

8/10 Good

"Place was clean, which is always my #1 criteria. Location was OK, I'm not familiar with Pittsburgh so I didn't know when booking what area I was ending up in. The neighborhood was pretty quiet, huge plus for me. The mini split AC was a bit temperamental and it was warmer than usual for this time of year. Overall, happy with the place and recommend it to couples."
