Amazing property and location!
We were extremely impressed with this property and its central location. We were within 10 minutes of the places we visited: the Botanical Gardens, the Arch, and the Budweiser plant tour. We had one question during our stay and the homeowner answered our message to him within minutes. We highly recommend this property and homeowner!

We had no issues with the property. It was accurate to the listing, and clean. It was a great location walkable to tower grove park, the botanical gardens, and some local restaurants. Safe neighborhood, we stayed with young kids and walked around the neighborhood without a second thought.

The unit is very cute and clean, and the neighborhood is great. I wouldn’t call the street parking ample, and there are a lot more than a few steps to the front door. I have a tiny car, and I had to park Hand and dish soap soap were pro

Great place with only 1 exception.
Everything was good with only once exception.,..I am a 6'2" male with a slim, athletic build (not overweight) and the bed was so soft that I slept in a "V" position during my stay for 3 nights. It made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. But that is the ONLY complaint. The place is immaculate, AMAZING location...fantastic nearby restaurants and we had a great time. So thank you very much.

Family road trip
We decided to take a road trip from Michigan and spend our Spring Break exploring St. Louis. This was good for our family of 4. Clean, awesome location 10 minutes from everything. The neighborhood was very cute and charming. It was priced well too, definitely a lot of bang for your buck and way better than a hotel at a similar price point.

Good location
It was in an amazing location. Most places that we went were within 10 minutes. The communication with the hosts was great and they were quick to reply to any messages. It was very clean and comfortable. The only negatives that I have were that there were steep steps up to it, which was fine for us, but it was not put in the description. Also, we stayed in the downstairs unit and we had people stomping, running, and yelling for most of the day. It was a quiet neighbourhood though and things settled down at night with the upstairs neighbours.
