PROPERTY LAYOUT:
Arriving at our home, you can choose to park on the street up front, or in our private parking spot in the alley. Entering from the back through the French patio doors, you'll first enter into our well-equipped kitchen. From here you'll step through the dining area complete with seating + service for 6 ((note the half bath on your left) then passing the stairs on the left into our living room. Settle into your Santorini-inspired space, or head upstairs to the second floor (while of course noticing moments like custom carpeting along the way!)
On the right is your first bedroom - the brightly colored orange & blue space. Moving ahead you'll find the first full bath on your right. Ahead you'll find the larger second bedroom in yellow & blue. Heading to the third floor, you'll find the "suite" - a private shower is on your right, and heading left you'll enter your bedroom. With a small lounge area to settle in, you might decide just to call it a day and relax up here - but if you're feeling energized after your Santorini-inspired tour, you're in the perfect place to head out and explore some of the best places Pittsburgh has to offer!
The entire property is accessible, with the exception of a locked housekeeping closet.

**"Don't trust your stay to someone far way!"**
You name it, Lawrenceville has it! You're just a few blocks from Butler Street in the heart of Lower Lawrenceville, with tons of options just a few blocks away. Great restaurants and bars everywhere, 20+ breweries, quaint coffee shops, awesome vintage bowling, abundant shopping, green space, riverside walking/biking trail, and more! Lawrenceville is one of the top 4 most expensive zip codes in Pittsburgh, and with that comes lots of entertainment (and variety!)
Pittsburgh is called the City of Bridges due to our rivers and hills, and because of this, driving here is a learning curve. If you do drive, you can park one vehicle in our off-street parking area. Since our area is super walkable, with a 90+ walk score, we recommend parking and staying put for your stay, and using Uber / Lyft if you're venturing further out. With more than one vehicle, street parking is available and generally easy to find.

1. Smoking (or vaping) is not permitted inside. Smoking is permitted outside only; please dispose of your butts responsibly. A minimum $1,500 cleaning fee will be reported if evidence of smoking is found in the home.
2. People other than those in the Guest party may not stay overnight in the property without prior notice. Any other person in the property is the sole responsibility of Guest. The host has not represented this unit as an event facility, therefore, there is a limit to the number of any visitors at any one time (in addition to registered occupants) of four (4) up to a maximum of ten (10) persons in the property at any given time. At no time may any of these visitors remain overnight or assume any guest privileges whatsoever.
3. The host is not responsible for any accidents, injuries or illness that occurs while on the premises or its facilities. The host is not responsible for the loss of personal belongings or valuables of the guest. By accepting this reservation, it is agreed that all guests are expressly assuming the risk of any harm arising from their use of the premises or others whom they invite to use the premises.
4. We offer a Chore-Free Checkout, and do not ask our guests to clean prior to check out. However, this does not give permission to leave a big mess; cleaning that requires substantially more time than usual due to excessive trash, stains, spills, etc., will be charged to the Guest at $40 per hour.
5. Late check-outs are not permitted without prior discussion, as our cleaning teams are punctual. Late check outs require additional cleaners to be brought in, and will be charged at $50 in half hour increments.
6. If you have to cancel your trip past the cancellation window deadline, we will refund you any amount we are able to get for rebooking your dates above the cancellation amount, up to a full refund. We don't believe in "double-dipping" if your nights are able to be rebooked.
7. There is no daily housekeeping service. While the property has been thoroughly cleaned prior to your arrival and linens and bath towels are included, daily maid service is not included in the rate.
8. While we love our furry friends, pets are not permitted, as many guests have sensitivities. A deep cleaning unauthorized pet fee of $350 will be charged if clear evidence is found.
9. Host happily invites children with the following stipulations:
- Children must be supervised by an adult at all times
