We had an amazing stay at the Lady Emma in St. Louis! Literally every detail was thought of by the homeowners. From little things like labeling drawers, and making sure that there are “odds and ends” (ex: we needed a pair of scissors and were happy to find one), to being super responsive when anything came up. The space is huge and our kiddos had so much fun in the third level making it their “hangout”. One of the best places I have stayed and I highly recommend it!

Awesome place to stay

House was amazing and clean and just wonderful. Nicely stocked. I only put 4 stars in one area because it took several days to get the futon that the house was supposed to have and several days to take care of a non-op AC. BUT besides that, I’d most happily stay there again. And there’s a great icecream place at the end of the alley.

This home is beautiful. Very clean and had everything we needed. The neighborhood was nice and quiet. Great parking space for 2 cars in the back. Our family had a lot of fun in the game room. The kitchen was well equipped for making meals. The host was very quick to respond and great to work with. The location was great for all of our St Louis attractions. We would highly recommend.

Lovely Historic Home

This house was lovely, and we thoroughly enjoyed all the games available on the third floor. We were very impressed with cleanliness and thoughtfulness of amenities. Convenient location to downtown and also walkable to a few cute restaurants. The house is adjacent to an intersection of two larger roads, so there was a little bit of overnight traffic sounds/sirens, but not too bad. The 5 PM check-in time is later than what I am used to, so definitely plan around that. Overall, we were very pleased and would recommend!
