Stay Overnight In A Former Convent Right Here In Pittsburgh

Most of us have probably heard that famous quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, “It’s not the destination. It’s the journey.” While that may prove true most of the time, sometimes it really is the destination. If you’re yearning for a getaway but just don’t have the time to travel far from home, set off on a one-of-a-kind adventure when you check into this former convent in Pittsburgh that’s now a charming Airbnb.

You won't have to travel far - just to the South Side - for a unique getaway at this historic home, a beautifully renovated convent.

One of the largest homes in the South Side, the former convent spans 5,000 square feet and sleeps up to 16 guests in its eight bedrooms.

It is, in fact, the perfect destination for a family reunion or a quick getaway with a group of friends.

The Airbnb comes with everything you need for a luxurious and relaxing stay, boasting nearly 60 amenities - from a full kitchen to a barbecue grill in the outdoor dining area.

If you don't feel like dining outside, you'll have a spacious dining room in which to eat. You'll also be within easy walking distance of countless South Side restaurants.

With three floors, the former convent offers plenty of space to stretch out and to relax. Kick back in the first-floor living room or in the second room den.

All of the bedrooms sit on the second floor or in the attic, with 12 comfy beds.

If you're a night owl, you can still catch some z's during the day. The bedrooms feature room-darkening shades.

Learn more and book your stay on the official Airbnb page of the Former Convent.
