  We stayed in this property from March 5-March 11th 2013. We found the apartment to be clean, comfortable, well equipped and convenient to everything we needed to enjoy our stay in St. Louis. The beds are comfortable with plenty of linens for your stay. The kitchen has everything that one would need to cook a hearty meal. The balcony was nice and had the weather been warmer we might have used the bbq grill that was available on our private balcony. There is adequate parking for more than one car and the area is safe and secure. We are relocating back to St. Louis and fully intend to rent this space again as we head back to St. Louis to "house hunt." I would recommend this property to anyone!

  We enjoyed our stay in St. Louis. I voiced some concerns to Boris before we arrived and he took care of all of them. The updates on the condo are very nice. We would definitely stay there again!

  This is a CLEAN place to stay for a couple of people! We stayed only over the weekend due to house renovations in St. Louis. The condo was newly remodeled and freshly painted. There is also new laminate flooring in the whole condo. My wife and kids we stayed enjoyed the cozyness. Boris even met us at 11 PM when we arrived! This place is in a nice community of homes and is very quiet. The price is right too. The apartment is well stocked and maintained well. We enjoyed our stay and would go back again. The email communication was timely, clear and consise. Thanks!!

  We had the condo booked for our family vacation last week. Boris was extremely responsive and very helpful, and prior to our arrival he even purchased a pack and play and booster seat for us to use for our daughter since we were unable to find a location to rent baby equipment in the area. My husband and I had read other reviews and looked at the photos and we were excited to find such a great place to stay for the week. We arrived late in the evening, and upon entering the condo, we immediately noticed the smell of cigarette smoke. This surprised us since it is a non-smoking unit and there are even "no smoking" placards on the wall, plus Boris had told me that they had new laminate flooring installed a week prior to our arrival. We walked through the condo and noticed multiple air fresheners throughout the unit as well as an air purifier in one of the rooms. My husband went out to the store to get a few things and returned with spray air freshener and we sprayed the whole condo but could still smell the smoke through it. Every time the a/c kicked on, the smell of smoke came through with it so we could tell the smell would not go away with air fresheners or open windows. My husband and I are both very sensitive to the smell of smoke, and we did not want our daughter exposed to it, so in the morning we booked a hotel for the rest of the week. I spoke with Boris and he was very apologetic and said that as far as he knew, no one had been smoking in the condo. He agreed to refund us the remainder of our money, and we received this refund within a few days. Boris was great to work with and the condo was very nice. If it had not been for the smoke smell, we would have stayed there for the week.

  Owner response: Thank you for the review Pamela! We are very sorry about your trip. We did inspect the condo and it recent families that were staying smoked in the condo. This is something we will watch out in the future. The condo was vacant for two weeks and we made a lot of changes and renovated the condo a little because of this issue. We painted the walls and took the old carpet out. We also cleaned our furnace completely as well. We had tenants that were staying recently and they were satisfied with their stay. Thank you for the positive comments as well. Regards, Boris

  First, I want to say Boris was really responsive and available to answer any questions we had. We would email him and he would respond very quickly. He was a pleasure to work with. The entry into the building needed a good cleaning and a coat of paint. Potential renters should also be aware that the sofa pictured in this ad is not the one in the unit. There is large, orange, overstuffed leather furniture in there now and it was worn and torn in spots, and the leather felt sticky. Not a huge deal I guess, but not sure what happened to the sleeker, more modern arrangement pictured above in the VRBO ad. When we first arrived at the condo the smell of air fresheners was somewhat overpowering. We unplugged three of them in the living room/kitchen area and put them on a ledge out in the entryway. After half a day we could smell stale smoke very strongly, either from the HVAC system, carpets, or from smokers in the building. We weren't sure of the exact source. Maybe my sniffer is super sensitive, but it seemed we had a choice between the overpowering scent of air fresheners or smoke. We had to wash everything once we got home because they smelled strongly of air freshener and smoke. The master bedroom was great. The room was nicely decorated and the bed was very comfortable and the closet and cabinet provided lots of storage. The futon in the 2nd bedroom/office was perfect for our 3 and 4 year old to sleep on together. The queen air mattress went flat the first night for our other guests. Boris very quickly brought a replacement over the next day and that one worked great. The TV and the entertainment system was outstanding, though actual HD on a TV that size (60 inch?) would be a nice addition. We watched NCAA basketball and the kids watched movies on it. Also, there is no wifi in the unit and no neighbors with unsecure networks to tap into. When the other review said there was an issue with hot water they weren't exaggerating. About halfway through the first shower of the day the water would be luke warm at best, and those who followed (4 adults total) would have room temperature showers. I was not able to get the balcony sliding door to lock, though there was also a storm door that did lock. I moved one of the big chairs in front of the door to keep the kids away from it. We had a lot of fun in St. Louis and the unit is very well placed to get fun attractions like the Zoo, the Magic House, and Busch Stadium.

  Owner response: We appreciate online reviews of our rental unit, and we thank Jessica for her comments. The previous renters also experienced a cigarette smell in the hallway. As mentioned in the previous review for them, we took action immediately and called the management regarding this issue. They will put up "no smoke" signs in the hallway and clean the carpets. We also added another weatherstrip to the door. We try to make out guests stay as comfortable as possible. We were sad to let go of our black sectional. We replaced it because it was not very comfortable for our guests. The new furniture purchased not long ago is much more comfortable. We did notice few tears in the couch and will repair it. We spray the furniture with leather protector and conditioner after each visit. We will try to use a different brand so it doesnt stick as much as before. We checked the water heater and it looks like one out of two heaters needs to be replaced. Since this is an older boiler and it is hard to find parts for it, we will replace it with a new one by end of this week. The balcony door has been fixed. There was a small piece missing preventing the doors to lock. We do appreciate Jessica's positive comments about the Master bedroom with the Entertainment system and 2nd bedroom amenities. I also wanted to clarify that we have a 47" LCD TV in the Master bedroom and in the 2nd bedroom there is a 32" LCD TV. In closing, we agree with Jessica that our unit is very well placed to get to fun attractions like Zoo, The Magic House and Busch Stadium .

  When walking into Apartment building, it has an awful smell. The apartment is upstairs which I didn't see mentioned in the info. The apartment was freezing in the bedroom with the futon. We constantly could smell cigarette smoke. When I got home our clothes smelled of cigarette smoke and a musty smell. I was not impressed with the place. Was only about 10-15 miles from most of the places we visited.

  Owner response: Thank you for the review!! We are very sorry about your experience staying in our condo. Our unit is smoke free and there has never been a problem in the past. Since we take this subject seriously, we did call the management immediately about the cigarette smoke in the hallway. We asked them to clean the carpets if possible and air the hallway out and also put up "no smoking" sign in the hallway to prevent this happening again. We also put another weather strip in front of our entance door to the condo. We are confused in regard to the cold room with the futon bed. The vent in the bedroom with the futon bed was half closed, maybe that is why it was a little colder. We did check the heat in the apartment and in the bedroom and everything was working properly. The warm air was coming out of the vent. I wish you had contacted me during the stay. I don't know what could have been done, but we probably could have worked out something to make the stay a bit better. Sincerely, Boris

  This was a great place to stay when visiting St. Louis. We have two kids and they loved our home away from home. It was clean and homey. There were enough pans and plates, and ample amenities, like salt and pepper. The washer and dryer were also great to have. There was limited hot water, so make your showers short :), but other that that, it was nice. Great to have a parking spot and only 15 minutes from everything we wanted to see and do in St. Louis. Boris was also very kind and easy to work with.

  We really enjoyed our stay at the condo. Would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. It is close to restaurants and malls, parks,etc. Our family loved the fact it had washer and dryer accommodations as well as a full kitchen and was clean. The landlord Boris was wonderful in setting up everything for us, he even brought in some extra blow up mattresses. Thank you again for everything Boris. We definitely will stay there again.
