Unfortunately this was not a vacation I was in St. Louis to have breast cancer surgery. The host was gracious enough to change my time in June to July when my surgery changed. I appreciate it so much a very peaceful neighborhood I had everything I needed house was very cool, and comfortable for these hot conditions. The host was very easy to get to communicate with I would stay there again. The king-size bed was comfortable I slept in. I had a few other family members to help me because of the surgery. I couldn’t move very well. They also thought their beds were comfortable.

Location was very convenient for a downtown conference! Plenty of room and amenities, and the beds were very comfortable (even for my problematic back)! The house wasn’t cleaned very well in some spots, but other than that it was a great stay.

The host was very communicative and accommodating to my requests. This was a bachelorette trip and I was worried about only have 1 bathroom to get ready in but each bedroom had huge mirrors that made the process so much easier. The kitchen had lots of appliances to use and cookware. The living room was smaller than I anticipated but I did not have any issues.The upstairs neighbors had small children that would run around during the day time but that is obviously not the hosts fault. The parking outside is tight. Everyone parks on the road and you will frequently have to parallel park into small spaces. Luckily, we always found a spot!It was a great stay

It was a nice home and property. Since it was a quaint old neighborhood, the parking was limited on the tiny old narrow streets. I don't parallel park very well! However, the neighborhood was very safe, quiet and quite lovely.

Great location, well kept, ample space

The property is in a great central location: very close to the botanical gardens, science center and zoo, and only about 15 minutes from downtown (Busch Stadium, Arch). The apartment itself is very well kept, and the space was actually larger than I expected based on the pictures. You can definitely very comfortably sleep 6. Check-in and check-out processes were well communicated and very easy to follow. Very pleased with the experience, would definitely stay here again.

Pros:- Location was good- Mattresses were comfortable - Check in details were clearCons:- Not clean! (I.e. food inbetween couch cusions, dead bugs in shower, used sponge for kitchen sink, spider webs in windows, moldy shower curtain)- fridge water system broken and such a mess to clean!- some lights burnt out in every fixture - dead bolt in back doesn't lock- its a bottom unit and our upstair neighbors were not on the same schedule as us so it was incredibly nosiy late and night and early in the morning.

Good stay

Hello, This place worked for what we needed. The kids were happy it had Disney Plus for when we needed some down time after being out exploring. It was close to everything we wanted to see. Was overall quiet and worked for us. I would recommend maybe a welcome guide so you know we’re things are located. I didn’t know where a broom or vacuum was located. Other than that it worked for us! Thanks!

Everything close by.

Location was fantastic, about 15 minutes away from everything we wanted to do. Check-in was smooth & easy. Apartment was clean with comfortable beds & fantastic pillows. Parking was a bit challenging with small kids, as it was only street parking. The owners responded quickly to our concerns, but the issue was not resolved through no fault of their own. The neighbors above this apartment were so loud every night that no one was able to get more than a few hours of sleep every night of our stay. After I contacted the owner of this property after the second night of no sleep, the neighbors literally had a party that night & were running up & down the stairs slamming the door. Overall, if you are a light sleeper you will want to stay somewhere else. If you are a heavy sleeper you will appreciate how close this is to all the fun things to do & the availability of great restaurants nearby.
