We had everything we needed and it was closely located to lots of fun and family friendly activities!! My only thing is I wish I would have realized the King bedroom on the 2nd floor and the Queen bedroom on the 3rd floor are within the same room, but seperate from, the other 2 bedrooms showing on those floors. Host was amazing and house was clean and as pictured.

This was my first visit to St. Louis, and I absolutely feel in love — both with the city and this home. The location was very convenient to most of what the city has to offer and on a quiet residential street. It was clean, comfortable, and had some of the best coffee I have ever had! The hosts were also amazing! I would gladly stay here again next time I am in St Louis.

About the host

Hosted by Ann Renken

Host profile image
I grew up in St. Louis, but lived in Los Angeles for 17 years, which is where Ted and I met. Eventually, we relocated back here to be with family and enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle with our kids. We love the architecture and how hard St. Louisans work to preserve it. Plus, you truly get most anywhere in under 30 minutes, usually more like 10-15!

Why they chose this property

Benton Park has a lot to offer both types of guests we typically host. For families, there are very nearby parks/playgrounds and easy access to kid-friendly attractions. For adults looking to catch up or enjoy a night out, there are tons of casual and upscale dining options and a lively bar scene in Soulard. We're on such a small street that it feels like an escape within the city!

What makes this property unique

Very few properties in the city have double lots (the last two nearby have been developed with new homes quite recently). We treasure the elbow room, and the light it lets in
to the home. This home has been comfortably updated but still has the character of the 1888(!) architecture.
