Adorable, clean, well stocked house in a great neighborhood

This house is absolutely adorable! It is well maintained for being a historic home. It was well stocked with all needed cooking utensils and cookware. The hosts were wonderful in accommodating my allergies by supplying fragrance free laundry detergent and soap. We loved that they provided clear instructions on how to use any appliance. The beds and couch were very comfortable. The neighborhood is amazing! It is super close to the Zoo. There were lots of people walking their dogs who were nice. We had a slight issue at check-in but the hosts were quick to communicate with us. We would definitely stay here again!

Older house but clean

The stay was okay. Near Forrest Park but we still drove to get there... a bit too far to walk especially at night. The house was clean but there was paint chipped off the shower curtain bar in the tub. We had to go searching for extra towels that were left in the dryer. Some updates would make it a higher star rating.... replace the shower bar, rip out the old carpeting and finish the hardwood underneath... and add chairs to the front and back porches... there was no where to sit! I think this would be better suited as a long term rental for single or couple rather than an night or 2 stay.

St. Louis Weekend Getaway

I have stayed in St. Louis before but this experience was much better than the rest! The house is so cute and cozy and the neighborhood was so welcoming. It felt just like home. We were able to walk to the Zoo and the walk was beautiful! If you are looking for a place to stay in St. Louis, don't overlook this property!

About the host

Hosted by Ashley Akhtar and Kamal Akhtar

Host profile image
My husband and I lived in this house for over a year. We enjoyed walking to the forest park, Zoo and science center. We also enjoyed easy access to two highways (I-64 and 44). Most of the restaurants in Dogtown are not too far from our house. We both work in healthcare field, I am an OBGYN nurse practitioner and my husband is an ER nurse as well as he teaches at Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College. We just moved to St Peters and decided to share our house with other guests. We recently renovated our kitchen and had custom built cabinets by Amish and handpicked everything that was put in kitchen. We are excited to share our house with our guests.
