The Neighborhood:

The house is located in the historic Lafayette Square, considered the oldest urban park west of the Mississippi where you can walk to world-class restaurants and sip coffee at delicious cafes and visit nearby Gateway Arch, Forest Park, and Enterprise Center—home of Stanley Cup-winning St. Louis Blues.



Like a picture out of a Victorian novel, Lafayette Park’s flowers, natural grasses, towering trees, waterfalls, fountains and iconic iron bridges provide a peaceful backdrop to the city.



Within Lafayette there are craft breweries; specialty shops; Park Avenue Coffee, which features original small-batch blends; quirky and one-of-a-kind restaurants; yoga and art studios; wine, chocolate, and rooftop bars; a bistro; and a must-try ice creamery.



If you are lucky enough to be in the city at the right time, there are annual neighborhood festivities that are fun to visit including an antique fair (June); Cocktails on the Plaza (July); Movies in Lafayette Park (summer); Taste of Lafayette (August); Tour De Lafayette/Gateway Cup Bike Race (Friday before Labor Day); Tricks & Treats on Park (Saturday before Halloween); the Holiday Tree Lighting (second Saturday in December); and the Holiday Market (second Sunday in December), which features roasted chestnuts, spirits, and crafts.



Take a walk through the neighborhood and admire the 150-year-old two and three-story Victorian mansions commonly referred to as the “painted ladies,” surrounding the lush 30-acre Lafayette Park, the oldest urban park west of the Mississippi.



There is something for everyone to enjoy in beautiful Lafayette just 2 miles from Downtown St. Louis.



Getting Around:

The best way to get around is by car with most highways conveniently nearby. You can also use the Metrolink light rail system to get to many major attractions. Metro's efficient light rail system offers stops throughout the city.



St. Louis also has both UBER and Lyft available. You'll also see lots of Lime and Bird electric scooters throughout the city, so you can zoom wherever you'd like!



Other Things to Note:

We truly value you as our guest, we're always here to help if you need anything during your stay! :)
