🏠 HOUSE LAYOUT
Welcome to your cheerful Lawrenceville hideaway—where the layout is just as flexible as your plans.

Step through the front door into a bright, colorful living room that practically says “drop your bags and relax.” Whether you're sinking into the couch for a movie night or just kicking off your shoes after a long day, this space is made for unwinding.

Walk straight into the kitchen, where bold design meets functionality. You’ve got everything you need: well stocked with an electric stove, full-size fridge, blender, dishwasher, microwave, & a coffee setup that’ll make your morning.

Just off to the right, a small set of stairs leads to the basement—where you'll find the washer, dryer, and a convenient half bathroom (no Pittsburgh potty there, it's a real bathroom!)

Back upstairs, continue through the kitchen and out to the fenced-in patio. This little urban oasis is where the magic happens: umbrella seating, string lights, and your private hot tub waiting to melt your stress away.

Head up the main staircase (just beside the kitchen) to reach the second floor. At the top of the landing, you’ll find the spacious king bedroom at the front of the house—sunny, stylish, and super comfy with its smart TV and blackout curtains.

Toward the back of the house is your do-it-all bonus room: part office, part kids’ room, part wellness zone. There's a twin daybed with trundle, a treadmill desk setup for remote work or walking meetings, and a full bathroom tucked right inside.

Every space has a purpose—and a little personality, too.

You'll have access to all areas of the home, including the fenced private hot tub area.

HostWise Stays is one of the highest-rated hosts in the country—with a 4.93/5 rating from 14k+ guests, placing us in the top 0.1%!

Don't trust your stay to someone far away!

🏙 NEIGHBORHOOD OVERVIEW
Welcome to Lawrenceville—Pittsburgh’s coolest neighborhood and the heartbeat of the city.

Once an industrial, working class hub, this riverside neighborhood has transformed into a buzzing blend of historic charm and cutting-edge culture. Think Brooklyn vibes with a Pittsburgh soul: cobblestone streets, converted warehouses, and some of the city’s best bars, boutiques, and bites all within walking distance.

Wander Butler Street and you’ll find vintage shops, craft breweries, indie bookstores, and brunch spots locals swear by. Grab morning coffee at Inkwell, lunch at Geppetto Café, and dinner at one of the neighborhood’s many award-winning restaurants—then wrap it up with a scoop from NatuRoll Creamery or a cocktail at Hidden Harbor.

Lawrenceville is creative, walkable, and packed with personality. Whether you’re in town for a weekend or a few weeks, this is the spot that lets you live like a local, eat like a foodie, and relax like it’s your job.

Cozy and Warm

A quintessential Lawrenceville rowhouse/townhouse. Great location. I was there during a very long cold spell in January and the house stayed nice and warm. Washer and dryer were in great condition. Bathroom and kitchen amenities were also in great condition

Great stay in the ‘Burgh

We were back visiting friends, and this row house worked out fine. The location is prime, just off Butler St. Parking on street worked well, but if you have a big SUV, it might not be ideal. Noise level low. Kitchen very well equipped, and the coffee was great! Be aware there are steep stairs, and if you have bad knees, you might want to look outside of Lawrenceville.

Lawrenceville with Labradors & Fam

This property was exactly what we needed. Easy walking distance to the friendliest city! Pets are welcome in most establishments- especially outdoor patios which made it very convenient. The house was in great condition and the host was excellent with communication. Checkout was amazingly simple. We are already planning a return trip for a Pirates & Riverhounds game. Thanks for a great kick off to the holiday!

Great house in perfect location!

My husband and I recently rented this house for a stay in Pittsburgh in order to prepare for a more permanent move. The property is exactly as advertised and was sparkling clean! The best part was its proximity to Butler street and the many options for food, drinks, and activities. Check in was seamless and easy and communication with the host was nearly instantaneous. With an early flight home, we also really appreciated the "choreless" checkout process. The only consideration I would make is if you have someone with you who has mobility issues, there is no bathroom on the main floor, but otherwise the place was perfect for our stay!

Very responsive host, neat neighborhood

All good. Not a knock on the property, and the host describes it well, but if you're not familiar with the parking/driving situation in Lawrenceville it can be challenging, managing a big vehicle would be a pain. Property is on a quiet end of an alley just off of Butler St making it surprisingly quiet for such convenient access to all the Butler St activity.

Fantastic City Stay

My husband, myself, and our dog had a fantastic city stay in Lawrenceville! Very modern & comfortable rowhouse conveniently located near restaurants & a park for dog walks. The host provided hospitality items & check in and check out were a breeze! Definitely recommended to other travelers. We enjoyed Pittsburgh, Phipps Conservatory, The Church Brewery, and several Lawrenceville restaurants. We had no trouble parking and the neighborhood was peaceful every night. Thank you!
