We had a lovely time in St Louis. The house was within minutes to Forest Park and the St Louis Zoo. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the towels in the bathroom were so soft. We took several walks in the neighborhood and ended up finding Alibi cookies. We had great communication with the hosts and we encountered no issues during our stay. If we ever would come back to St Louis, we would stay here again!

Wonderful Weekend Stay!

We were only here for 2 nights, but it was a great place to stay. A ton of room for everyone to sleep between 2 families. We also met the neighbors next door who were very helpful when we needed an extension cord and they also gave us tips on places to take our kids. We loved that it was walking distance to restaurants and just a short drive to the zoo. We had a great stay, easy booking and checking in/out process, and we had everything we need. Highly recommend!

Nice stay close to the zoo.

We enjoyed our stay even with the bitter cold days. The house could use a revamp on the heat especially in the back bathroom, but overall, it was a pleasant experience!

Cleaning issues

Home was not ready at check in due to cleaning not being completed. The normal cleaning crew didn't clean so another "emergency" cleaning crew was sent in. The "crew" was one person who arrived 30 minutes before check in and spent one hour cleaning. The home is larger and the hour she spent was simply not enough. There was a dirty pan in the oven, trash in drawers and no trash liners in the trash can. We had to finish the cleaning ourselves. Location met our needs. However I cannot recommend this location due to poor cleaning.

Can't say enough great things about this place. We were in town for a graduation and this was a great "home base" for all of the activities. Great location. Close to everything. Plenty of space. The hosts were always quick to answer any questions we had.
