Was in town for our cousin’s wedding and had a great stay here! Awesome location for what we needed in a nice neighborhood. Will definitely consider staying here again if back in town.
A group of 5 of us stayed here for the weekend to celebrate a 40th birthday and had a wonderful stay. The house was beautiful, beds were comfortable, and everything was very clean. The location was also great, with food/activities/shops all a short drive and some small cafes were walkable. Highly recommend!
Great property. Very clean and furnished beautifully. Loved all the art. It worked well for our family. Off street parking a big plus. Will stay there again.
Our host, William, was wonderful to communicate with and a great help. The house we well equipped and fit our extended family perfectly for a weekend wedding in St. Louis. Thank you!
Our stay at the house for the weekend was amazing! it was the perfect size for all of us. The house was comfortable and inviting. We would stay there again!
We were so happy with our stay at William’s beautiful home. Any issues we had while we stayed were promptly taken care of by William. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay for our larger group and it was in a great area!
The house was fun. And quirky and all of the teenagers and adults were pleased but just sometimes hard to do!!Very well appointed. Excellent to have off street parking!!
The home was warm, welcoming, astetically beautiful, and fully stocked with everything we needed, for comfort, and practicality. I highly recommend this place!
Everything was clean. Available parking was so helpful given limited street parking due to construction. Area was cute. Felt safe, which is great in STL. The host was flexible and exceptionally communicative. The beds and pillows were firm and comfy. The upstairs rooms were a tad warm but there were notably multiple ceiling and standup fans available to help with that. We used the lodging to prep for our wedding and take first look pics.
This was an okay place to stay. It accommodated our party just fine. Communication with the host was excellent. We visited during an extremely hot weather period and the upstairs bedrooms (2nd and 3rd floor) just could not keep up and cool. It’s understandable but somewhat miserable to sleep in. Of note, the stairs are narrow and steep. If mobility is an issue for anyone staying here I would not recommend this house. Parking was good. No problems with that. Check in and check out was easy.
