Keur Koura @The Ville

Your lovely words touched my heart! It was truly an honor to host you and your friends for such a special birthday celebration. You are so kind and knowing that you felt comfortable and enjoyed the home, especially my books makes me smile! Please know that my house will always be your house in St. Louis! I would be delighted to welcome you back for more beautiful memories. Thank you for bringing such warmth and for sharing this wonderful review!

Thank you Jill for being pleasant, polite, and perfect guests at my home. Thank you for staying and come again!

Thank you Kendra for staying at my home and being good guests. It is a new set-up and purposefully designed to be a minimalist rental. The listing states all that is available and present in the home. There is not a TV and the listing does not state there is one. Sorry you believed that you would find one in the home. Most guests entertain TV and movies via their electronic devices. The photos are very accurate to the listing. The photos of the kitchen only show two chairs. Sorry you expected to find more than what was actually shown and listed. It is my plan to get outside furnishing for the hot STL summers. Perhaps, guests may wish to eat on the back porch, since it is roomy enough to hold more guests outside.

I strongly disagree with this characterization of my property. The home is accurately represented, professionally maintained, and located in an urban area of St. Louis, which is disclosed in the listing. As with any city environment, surrounding properties may vary and are not within a host’s control. This guest never addressed any of these concerns, upon checking in. I found no evidence to support the claims described. I host many guests without issue, and their experiences reflect the quality and safety of the home. I encourage guests to review all listing details and location context prior to booking to ensure it aligns with their expectations.

Rachel’s review is xenophobic and exaggerated. Please ignore her bias rant. For the amount she paid to stay at my home and for what she received far exceeded the expectations. Rachel has felt a need to review my home poorly because of her poor spirit and bitterness for not having her request for a refund granted. Had Rachel taken the time to read the listing properly perhaps she could have gone somewhere else to better suit her make-believe needs. As stated, the home has two bath tubs. These bathing concepts do not require a shower curtain because no rod is present on the tub. Of course, photos of the tubs are shown on the listing to provide visuals. Rachel did not see these either, just as she had not read any of the details of the listing. However, she looked very hard to find evidence of an excuse to complain about nothingness in my home only to find two dead insects behind the toilet stool. As I explained to her the home had been recently sprayed and the handyman failed to discard them. Interestingly, Rachel states that some of the lights didn’t work in her review but never informed me about an issue during her stay. Rachel and her crew created an electrical concern and never informed me until now in her cruel review. Rachel’s security deposit should have been charged but I spared her out of pity. Rest assured Keur Koura is cleaned professionally and is very safe. Please note that all bed sheets and linens are thoroughly cleaned and pressed for each arriving new guest. Don’t let Rachel’s negative review deter you from your chance to have an authentic experience in one of St. Louis’ most centrally located and very affordable short term rentals.

Juan took good care of my home! It was a pleasure to host him and his team. They did arrive unexpectedly with a dog. There were no issues.
