Group Getaway Loft | 2BR Balcony + Backyard

Summary:
Rally the crew in St. Louis’ legendary Soulard district—steps from live-music pubs, craft breweries, and the 200-year-old Farmers Market. This freshly remodeled 2BR flat sleeps four in comfort, offers a balcony for pre-game drinks, a shared backyard with seating, and includes a coveted off-street parking pad. Self-check-in lets you roll in anytime, then walk or ride-share everywhere.

The Space:
❖Experience the Vibe
Your getaway begins in a red-brick 1880s rowhouse reimagined for modern fun. Exposed brick and hardwoods set the stage while fast Wi-Fi and a 55" smart TV handle the after-hours wind-down. Slide open the balcony door, cue up the playlist, and toast to a night out just blocks away from lively bars and America’s second-largest Mardi Gras celebration.

❖Space to Gather
The open living-kitchen flows easily—perfect for sharing snacks before the game or recapping the day’s brewery crawl. Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2 each host a queen bed with hotel-quality linens. Two vanities (1.5 baths) mean no queue when everyone’s getting concert-ready.

❖Local Playground
Park once and forget the keys: walk seven minutes to Soulard Farmers Market for fresh beignets, ten to Anheuser-Busch Brewery for a tour, and rideshare five to Downtown stadiums. Between sets, explore local drinking wells, late-night eats, and live music bars and restaurants —all clustered within a few easy blocks.

Guest Access:
The entire duplex has a half + balcony, a backyard share, and a parking pad off the alley. Second-floor walk-up (no elevator).
Keyless entry from 4 PM; check-out 11 AM.

The Neighborhood:
Founded in the 1830s, Soulard is St. Louis’ oldest residential district and still feels like a compact French village—red-brick row houses, iron balconies, and gas-lamp streets. Within a 5-minute walk you’ll find more than a dozen locally loved pubs (try McGurk’s for live Irish music), farm-to-table restaurants, and the Soulard Farmers Market, operating since 1779. Anheuser-Busch Brewery sits eight blocks south; take the free Clydesdale tour or enjoy a biergarten flight. On Saturday mornings, Tower Grove Park’s expansive trails and Whitaker Music Festival are a quick drive or scooter ride away. Expect a lively atmosphere on weekends, especially during baseball season and the February Mardi Gras parade—the second largest in the U.S!

Getting Around:
❖On Foot: Walk Score 88—most guests never move their car once parked.
❖Scooters & Bikes: Lime and Bird scooters plus STL Bike Share hubs line 7th & 9th Streets.
❖Transit: The #30 Arsenal bus (stop two blocks away) reaches downtown in 12 min and connects to the Metrolink light-rail at Civic Center.
❖Rideshare: Uber/Lyft average $8–$12 to Busch Stadium, $18 to the Arch.
❖By Car: Quick access to I-55 and I-44; airport in ±20 min. A dedicated parking pad behind the house is yours, with ample free street parking if you travel with two vehicles.

Other Things to Note:
❖Stairs: Bedrooms are on the second floor—no elevator.

❖Climate: Central HVAC plus tower fans; portable heaters or fans available on request.
❖Trash & Recycling: City pickup Tuesday morning—dumpsters are in the alley.
❖Seasonal Events: Mardi Gras (late Feb) brings street closures and live music steps away—great energy but higher ambient noise.
