Other things to note
This Airbnb is cooled by window unit air conditioning. Some find window units to be a bit noisy. Even though window unit air-conditioning is extremely efficient and effective it's not central air. Please consider this prior to booking with us.

**sounds of the city notice ** this home is a row house in a dense urban area. You will hear the neighbors since their home shares walls with your Airbnb. This is also the city so you will hear sounds of the city. You will hear trains, planes, automobiles, busses, fire trucks, ambulances, police cars, helicopters, people, and wildlife from the Southside Park which is directly behind your Airbnb.

If you are noise sensitive please keep this in mind prior to booking this Airbnb.

To fully enjoy the Roku streaming player make sure you bring all your favorite stations log in information for your viewing pleasure.

The slopes are not the flats. This is not a walkable location to most people. You will probably want to Uber/Lyft to Carson St. Please keep this in mind prior to booking with us.

Our Airbnb features a Nectar memory foam mattress. Memory foam mattresses tend to be on the firmer side and are not for everyone. If you are not totally comfortable with memory foam mattresses this might not be the best Airbnb for you.

Even though our Airbnb is refreshed it is not modern or new. It is a older Southside slopes home in one of Pittsburgh's original blue collar neighborhoods. You will find nice updates as well as older home quirks.

The dedicated workspace is a bar height table and chair in the dining area. Please consider this prior to booking with us.


FYI to potential guests. Pittsburgh is the capital of Appalachia, this means hills. This location and most of Pittsburgh is surrounded by hills. Please keep this in mind when visiting our city.

Neighbourhood highlights

In 1763, King George III of Great Britain granted John Ormsby, a soldier in the French and Indian War as well as the alleged first settler of Pittsburgh, 2,400 acres of land along the southern banks of the Monongahela River for his service in the capture of Fort Duquesne. Ormsby divided the land into four boroughs – South Pittsburgh, Birmingham, Ormsby, and East Birmingham, which is present day South Side Slopes.

South Side expanded and grew in order to keep up with Pittsburgh's industrial boom, adopting the nickname "Workshop of the World". The industry of glass-making was predominant in the early 1800s, and later the banks of the Monongahela River became home to the iron and steel operations run by the company J&L Steel.

J&L (The Jones and Laughlin Steel Company) eventually became South Side's largest employer as by 1910 it employed 15,000 workers.The majority of these workers came as immigrants from European nations such as Germany, Ireland, Poland, Lithuania, the Ukraine, and the Slavic nations and settled into homes in the present day South Side Slopes. The houses built for them were traditionally one room wide, two rooms deep, and up to four stories high. The houses are built into the hillside with narrow walkways between them. Most of the structures and houses in both South Side Slopes are balloon-framed whereas many of those on the South Side Flats were built from brick, in a rectangular fashion. Many of them were ornamented in the popular style of the 1900s – Romanesque, Italianate and Second Empire. They are fashioned in a classical Victorian style row home way with carved doorways, cornices, corbelling, cast iron ornaments and geometric slate patterns.

The Slopes is rich in culture as many immigrants wanted to preserve their native cultures and languages; so they built many bars and churches, many of which still exist today.

The Southside Slopes is one of Pittsburgh's original blue collar neighborhoods.
