Excellent weekender

Very close to downtown events. Very clean. Comfortable layout. Master bed is very hard. Not my preference but the guest bedroom mattress was softer. On suite bathroom was nice with 2 other bathrooms. We enjoyed it and the neighborhood felt very safe and clean.

Convenient to Forest Park

Older home, but had everything we needed. Nice sunporch out back for morning coffee. Quiet neighborhood, but walking distance to bars & restaurants, if so inclined. 5 minutes from zoo, Science Museum, art museum, history museum; 10 minutes from botanical garden. Warning for old folks: steep stairs, and warning to short folks: master bed sits high off the floor

Very nice house

The neighborhood is very quiet. The house was clean and comfortable, roomy enough for our family. The main bedrooms are on the second floor, so if stairs are a problem, be prepared. We really liked the house and the area.

Perfect stay in the grove

This house is in a perfect location for those having drs appointments or a love one staying in Barnes Jewish Hospital. The hotels around are a lot more expensive.If you're traveling for entertainment, this house is a perfect location and will save you money to spend on entertainment. Also, the host is very sweet and will respond quickly to text or call. Other places I've stayed has a list of things to do before check out. Not at this house. Checkout is very simple.

Perfect place to stay for doctors appointments at Barnes.

An enchanting older home that's spacious, clean and very reasonably priced. The Host is very nice and responded quickly when questions arose. We plan on being return tenants.

The Good the little bit bad and there is no ugly

The Good: Great Location near The Grove, Check in was a breeze, the hosts were very responsive, very accommodating, beds were comfy, kitchen was well stocked, lots of pots and pans, dishes - everything you need really. Loved the layout of the house especially the little sunroom off the kitchen. Great price for what you are getting. The little bit bad: there is only on street parking- we did get parking on the same street a few houses down. It's an old home so even though the place was thoroughly cleaned - its still an old home (but it has many remodeled components that updated the house nicely). The large bedroom upstairs was colder than rest of house but they provided an awesome space heater that fixed that problem. TV downstairs was small and the speakers were buzzy, I only noticed this because I was sick one day and stayed in otherwise we never watch TV while on vacation. ALL IN ALL THIS WAS A FANTASTIC RENTAL FOR THE PRICE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I can't say enough about the hosts - they were so very accommodating. I feel bad pointing out the little things because really they were insignificant but I want to leave an honest review.

Dingy property with lots of potential

Owners are easy to work with. Check in/out very easy. Floors are beautifully refinished. Poor lighting in bedrooms. Light didn't work in one master closet. Comforter on master bed was for a smaller bed. Attic was open in the large master closet causing it and the bathroom to be cold. Had to use the provided heater for an hour before showering. Outlet didn't work in 2nd bedroom. Property needs a good paint job. It's dingy and dirty. We won't be staying here again.

Perfect for our weekend

My friends and I stayed here on a Bucket List trip to see Busch Stadium. The house was perfect for our needs from the area and location to "everyone has their own space." Check in/out was a breeze. The owners were very friendly, welcoming, and easy to reach. We all loved our time together there and will try to book here again if we ever decide to do it again.

The absolute BEST

There aren’t enough good things I can say about our stay. Parking was easy, communication was great, everything was clean and exactly as described. Property owners were very clear with expectations and flexible with our changing schedule due to travel modifications after Debby. Coming back to St. Louis we’ll definitely stay here again.

STL Cardinal weekend trip

Great house with a lot of character. Despite home being almost 100 years old, it was very clean and inviting! Would definitely recommend. Great neighborhood near Forest Park and close to all places we wanted to visit including Busch Stadium! There were 5 of us—including two 19 year olds and one 18 year old.

Perfect place for the 6 of us!

My fiancé and I were celebrating our anniversary and going to a show with 4 of our friends. We wanted a place we could all stay at together. Share a meal around the table, play a board game or 2, and drink coffee in the comfort of our pj’s in the morning. This was the perfect place for that! It fit us all comfortably and with 3 bathrooms!! The hosts communicated with me very well and honestly everything was perfect. The house is a bit older but it’s lovely and clean. It’s just what we were looking for and we felt right at home. We come to St. Louis often and I will be checking to see if this is available first every time we do as that’s how happy our whole group was with our stay.

My stay was 3 days and nights.

Our stay was not so okay. We were locked in for about 10 minutes, but the landlord came right on. The furniture needs to be replaced as soon as possible. The neighborhood was quiet but the scenery was not great.
