Wow. Exceeded expectations. This was the best extended stay rental experiences we’ve had. The owners clearly care about guests being as comfortable as possible and having everything that could possibly be needed available- not just the bare minimum. It felt like staying at a relative or friend’s house with excellent taste and quality. The space was super-clean and easy to access. The area/location is very pleasant and walkable. Great communication. We’ll definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family visiting the area.

We loved our stay! The photos and listing are accurate and give a very clear picture of the property. The house is small—which is expected in this neighborhood—but it is well laid out, beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable. My family of 4 stayed and had plenty of space and everything we needed. There were plenty of hooks for clothing and towels and many cabinets for storage, even in the small upstairs bathroom. Our teen stayed in the basement; this is a great space to stretch out and had a fantastic bathroom. The outside is also lovely and had a little front porch to sit on and enjoy the neighborhood. Neighbors were friendly. There were many people walking dogs. We didn’t use the backyard, but it’s fenced and has a nice eating area and grill. Great central location near Forest Park, Central West End, downtown, and more. Streets in the neighborhood are narrow but it was easy to find parking. I would not hesitate to book another stay at this great property.

Thank you so much for this incredibly thoughtful review! It truly made our day to read. We're so glad the listing accurately set your expectations and that your family of four felt comfortable and had everything you needed. It means a lot to hear that the layout and storage worked well — we put a lot of thought into making the most of the space! We love that your teen got to enjoy the basement — it really is a great retreat. And the neighborhood is one of our favorite things about the property, so we're happy you got to experience the friendly neighbors and the walkable charm of the area. We hope you get the chance to explore Forest Park and the rest of the neighborhood even more on your next visit. We'd absolutely love to have your family back — thank you again for staying with us and for taking the time to share your experience!
