We had a wonderful stay. The location was convenient, the unit was clean and well-equipped, and the host was friendly and communicative. We would definitely book again!
Comfortable apartment in a great location - lots of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. Our host Evan was wonderful to work with and extremely responsive. It was ideal for our 'home away from home' for almost three weeks.

This is an absolute perfect spot if you are visiting Forest Park. A block from the main entertainment district with plenty of shops and restaurants. Easy to get to, minutes from the train to the city. Clean, comfortable, quiet tree lined street. Will definitely stay here again.
This place was a great fit for traveling with our two toddlers. The community is very walkable with lots of parks, libraries, events, and food options. The manager is easy to reach and very hospitable. We’d stay again as we travel in this area a lot for work as a family.
Traveling for family celebration. Evan the host was very responsive and accomodating - one of my best experiences with communication in all of my VRBO stays. I would definitely consider returning to this property.
