    A memorable piece of old Pittsburgh in a restored neighborhood. Walking, stores, beautiful churches and townhouses, and easy access to downtown make for a wonderful travel destination. Truly a gem expressing the gracious ideals of the gilded age, but with the easy accessibility of the modern Midwest. My wife has extreme dietary restrictions, and a complete and accommodating breakfast was planned and served for us both; thank you! We hope to return to the Parador and Pittsburgh.

    We sourced the Parador by Internet---the facility and the hospitality-- were as described. How nice is that?! Ed Menzer gets the B&B space. We reside in New York; we now have a second home in Pittsburgh!
