Family-friendly vacation rentals in North Shore, Pittsburgh

Home away from home on CMU Campus. Great space for a family Thanksgiving

Devin has a very beautiful house in a great neighborhood. perfect for a staycation or vacation. super helpful and friendly. I will be back when staying in Pittsburgh.

Oh my goodness! Rick is so thoughtful! And super communicative! He provided incredibly detailed information about how to access the house and the parking. Additionally, he had so many thoughtful details in the house in the way of snacks and beautiful flowers. And while we didn’t take advantage of the extensive list of restaurants because of being in town for the holidays, it was really nice how much information he provided. It was a great location especially to our family in Squirrel Hill.

Rick was so incredible. He had the sweetest welcome, clear instructions, and just above and beyond. I can’t recommend this space enough! Cute off the main path place but a walkable distance to very cute bars and restaurants which made it perfect balance for my family. This place is immaculate! When I come back to Pittsburgh this is going to be my place!!

Russell’s home was the perfect spot for us, especially with an animal. Great location, I really liked the architecture, and felt at home. Would definitely stay there in the future.

Ryan's place was fabulous. It was spacious and beautifully designed. We had everything we needed. I highly recommend you book his place.

My husband loved stating at this place. It was perfect for us to travel from Kentucky to Pittsburgh to attend a Steelers game. We would 100% stay there again. This private room with private bathroom is on the first floor of a three story historic home. Elizabeth, who is the nicest person ever, lives with her husband on the upper two floors. The adorable space was super clean and I felt very at home. The mattress was extremely comfortable and the water was hot in the shower. Bring your own cooler and ice, and you are set. 10 out of 10. Thank you Elizabeth!

What a nice little town, first time for us staying in this part of town and we enjoyed it. Walkable neighborhood, we never moved our car all weekend. Walked to the brewery which we highly recommend the owners were super welcoming. We ate dinner at the speak easy while listening to local music. And ubered over to the Roxian theater for a concert. We stayed in the Pittsburgh unit and had everything we needed, the apts was exactly as described. We would definitely stay at Tyler’s place again. Easy street parking, while it’s described as up and coming we feel it’s beyond that and found it to be safe and established.

Great, cozy plsce. Quiet street. Wonderful stay

Great communication! Loved the house, clean, fun, everything you need! Highly recommend, will definitely stay again! Thank you!

The house served its need. We just needed a place to sleep near the venue we were attending. We wouldn't stay here again though. It is a well stocked house with the basic amenities. Bed's cleanliness was questionable and not that comfortable. Our days were so long though we passed out easily. Hosts are real unresponsive so just read their listing thoroughly especially for the parking situation. I requested for permit parking for the convenience but they did not respond and I did not want to risk being ticketed. I was not sent check in instructions until 15 mins prior to the check in time and appears it was only sent because I messaged them for it. I get that they don't want people checking in earlier but they did not respond to my other communications so I began to worry we would not have a place to stay. Keep in mind that you'll hear any noise from the street and neighbors. When the neighbors returned home late at night it sounded like they were in the same house as you.

Having stayed in a number of Air BnBs over the years, Heidi’s home moves to the top of the list of favorites! We really appreciated the opportunity to stay in Heidi’s beautiful home, where we were treated with kind hospitality. The house is even better than in the photos, so lovingly maintained, with incredible original woodwork and stained glass. After a day of activities in the Pittsburgh area, it was fantastic to come back to this amazing house, which is super comfortable and homey. Not only was the house great, but Heidi provided us with food! It was so awesome to have fresh coffee and a nice breakfast in the morning. She also gave us helpful suggestions for area restaurants and brew pubs within walking distance. I especially loved the front porch for taking in the night air on the porch swing…We highly recommend this beautiful home!

Christopher’s home in Lawrenceville was thoughtfully designed/furnished, and in such an ideal location. It’s only 20-ish minutes to the airport, super close to the Strip District, and right near the main drag of attractions on Butler Street in Lawrenceville. I was a little concerned about street parking, but it honestly never took more than 5-10 minutes at most to find a nearby spot, usually found one right away. Christopher was also very responsive, and was even kind enough to allow me a bit of a later checkout, which was much appreciated. This was a fantastic and comfortable visit - would be thrilled to book again next time I’m in Pittsburgh. Thank you, again, Christopher!

My daughter had to be in the Pittsburgh area for two weeks due to a school requirement. Michael met her there at check in, and made sure she had everything she needed. And, he graciously gave her a late check out since her flight didn’t leave until later in the evening. Everything went smoothly, and this mom was happy she was safe, and grateful for Michael and Michelle’s help.

Gail was friendly & responsive and available to answer my questions. I came into town for a Steelers game and Gail’s place is about a 20 minute walk to the stadium. I’m glad I walked because I got to see all the tailgating along the way! There’s a great coffeeshop two minutes away; and my Ubers came quickly. There’s also an Aviary nearby that I wish I had more time to visit. Gail’s neighborhood is safe and the people in Pittsburgh are super friendly! 💛

This is the 3rd year we have been coming to Mike and Ann's place. As always, they have been super hospitable and provided a nice "home away from home". The apartment is located in a lovely, walkable neighborhood, in close walking distance from good restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, etc. Mike and Anne had Bagels/Pastries/Fruit/Yogurt ready for us in the apartment, which we enjoyed for breakfast. Will gladly return.

The house was amazing...a home away from home. Decor and furniture was very comfy and lovely. Kitchen was amazing and very modern. Bedrooms and bathrooms had all the necessities and nice to haves. Nice linens, extra blankets and pillows. It had everything you could ask for in a home. Walking distance to restaurants, grocery stores and parks. Mark And Evan are exceptional hosts. They provided a wonderful food basket and other supplies to get us started...a welcomed surprise at the start of our stay. During snow storms, they came out to clean the snow and salt the steps. They were very responsive to any questions that we had. Again, they were exceptionally gracious hosts. We hope we're able to stay here again in future visits to the city.

This was our third stay at Martha’s Airbnb. Please see our previous reviews for why we give it a five star rating. It will continue to be our destination of choice when we return to Pittsburgh to visit our son’s family living in the Regent Square area.

We needed this rental for nine days while we were in between houses. It was a great home for our family of four. Loved the location and the unit itself. Highly recommend.

We LOVED staying at Matt's place! We've been staying in Airbnb's for long term stays after selling our home last Fall, and had Matt's place been available for additional months beyond our stay we would have absolutely extended our time there. We would highly recommend for anyone needing a long term accomodation. As is mentioned in many of the previous reviews, the stairs inside are quite steep and took some getting used to, but Matt was incredibly attentive to our feedback and provided a baby gate to use at the top of the stairs to add a measure of safety when crossing the threshold between the bedroom and extra living space. All in all, we had had no issue with the stairs during our stay.
