Great stay

The environment was cozy, like walking into you own home. It served well for our family to have a place to land after a long day of exploring St. Louis. The accommodations we’re also beautiful architecturally to look at. In all the experience was wonderful, exciting, and comfortable.

Last minute trip at a great place

We decided the day before to go to St Louis and were lucky to find a place that met our needs. The owner was quick to respond and kind. The place was exactly as it looked in the photos- small but perfect. We easily fit 4 adults and two very small children. The place was clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you

Great location!!!

The property and location was exactly what we were looking for. The owner sent us all the info we needed before we arrived at the property. We didn’t need to contact the owner because all of our questions were answered in the manual provided. Perfect size for our family of 5! Thank you for your hospitality!

Great time!

We had a great time in St. Louis! The apartment was neat and clean. It was very convenient to the all of the attractions we visited. We felt very safe and never had any issues with finding a parking spot on the street out front. Much more room than a hotel and even though we did not use the kitchen to cook meals, it had eveything you would need. We would stay here again if we ever came back to St. Louis.

Great place, Great location !

The apartment is exactly as pictured and we were very comfortable there. The outside deck was a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee. Everything worked in the apartment and all communication was clear on how to check in. The detailed information sheet has great information on where to dine and what to see around the area. We really enjoyed the HILL and the recommendations. We got to meet the owner while we were there and chatted a bit , super nice guy. We would definately stay again !

About the host

Hosted by Mike York

Host profile image
I bought this historic property in 2010 and have been working to upgrade it over the years. I was born and raised in the St. Louis area and enjoy getting out and about in the city by foot, bike and car. Most of my vacations are spent in the mountains either skiing or down-hill mountain biking. I prefer using VRBO for my vacations and have used my experiences to help shape my own. Feel free to ask me for recommendations of good local eats and key attractions on your visit.

Why they chose this property

I bought this building because it is in a quiet, safe, and historic neighborhood. The centrality of the location allows you to drive, walk or bike easily around the city.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. The apartment is just one-block west of the Missouri Botanical Gardens and three-blocks north of Tower Grove Park. You can walk to several restaurants, shops, parks, the Missouri Botanical Gardens, grocery stores and so much more. Some of the close by neighborhoods that you can walk or bike to include: South Grand, The Hill, Tower Grove South, Shaw, Central West End & The Grove. Also, you have easy freeway access to 64/40, 70, 55 and 44.
