Would Recommend to Anyone
I only have positive things to say about my experience at the Sleeping Octopus. The owners were fantastic, and were flexible with my needs for my stay. The other tenants were also great. No issues arose with them during my time there, an indication of solid vetting by the owners. The few minor issues that arose (A new tenant not keeping up with common area, etc.) were addressed immediately. The home itself is beautiful and well maintained, and will be a bonus for any lovers of art, history, or nature. There are occasionally events held on the first floor of the property, but none of these ever disturbed my peace during my stay. Overall it was a great experience that met a very urgent and sudden need on my calendar to be in the Pittsburgh area. I happily recommend the property to any future tenants.
