Long story short: we will stay here again!
The local branches of the family were blown away by the pictures I took from the balcony - picture-postcard-perfect, especially the night shots. We watched a marriage proposal, prom photos, graduation photos, and an endless parade of people going up and down Grandview, even in the cold. Yes, we sat out there when it was 50 degrees because how could you not when the view is that amazing?
The apartment met our needs perfectly - two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and space to read. The kitchen was equipped well enough and was perfect for cooking breakfast every day, and my husband was thrilled to find a French press in addition to the standard coffee maker. The pictures of the unit are accurate and appropriately convey all furnishings. It was nice to have some cleaning supplies as well to be able to keep the kitchen clean after cooking and eating.
The only downside was that the interior stairs to the bedroom level were a little steep, but that is to be expected in a house of this age in Pittsburgh. We found the railings adequate to be able to go up and down the stairs safely - although my 84 year old father-in-law took them slowly, he did go up and down several times a day.
Milo was very responsive to my emails both before and during our trip. All in all, it was a great find and we are happy to have taken advantage of the apartment for our 5 day trip.
