Great place in The Hill

We have been coming to St. Louis quite regularly while our son attended college at Webster University. Found this gem a little late, but loved the location and the home. We will definitely stay again. Walking distance to so many quaint Italian restaurants and a bakery. Quick drive to local attractions too.

Happy on the Hill

This Property was outstanding, clean, comfortable, great lighting, kitchen utensils and a fantastic welcome basket for us and our dogs. This is one of the best VRBO's that we have stayed in that also considers all that you need for your dogs. The location was awesome, walking distance to everything you would need or want to sample & enjoy the "Hill" in St. Louis. Can't wait to stay again.
