Families, singles, couples & business travelers will all enjoy this gorgeous space and the extra amenities.
Please Note: This beautiful space is a private, second-floor apartment within a duplex. Because there is a separate guest apartment located directly below you, you will have neighbors nearby and may occasionally hear typical footsteps or building sounds.

I include a welcome manual with lots of great Saint Louis attractions. I LOVE Saint Louis and want to share that joy with you. If you have specific interests, let me know and I will point you in the right direction. Saint Louis has so much to offer!

Traveling with Children? The space is GREAT for kids. We are parents of young children and understand the importance of safety and convenience. The entire apartment is setup with this in mind: all outlets are covered and the home is free of dangerous or breakable items and a baby gate is installed at the stairs. We also include a pack n play with mattress and fitted sheet, high chair, booster seat, baby monitors, play mat, infant bouncy seat, coloring and crafting tools for kids, single and double jogging strollers, and a bunch of toys. (Something you need not listed, just ask! But don't wait too long, if it takes ordering and installing I'll need a heads up).
Suffer From Allergies? This Vacation Home comes with a heavy duty Air Purifier and I ensure that the filters are changed regularly not only on the Air Purifier but on the home's furnace system as well. Also, each time guests stay the home is exceptionally cleaned and disinfected along with detailed dusting each and every time. Traveling with Pets?
Traveling with Pets? To ensure a comfortable, quiet, and allergy-free experience for everyone, this property maintains a no-pet policy. Because this is a single-floor listing in a shared building, keeping the space pet-free helps guarantee a wonderful and peaceful stay for both you and the guests on the other floor. We truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation!
(Note: If you have a registered Service Animal, please reach out to us directly before booking so we can best accommodate your stay.)
Guest access: The entire 2nd floor apartment, back porch, and one parking spot in the back of the home is for your personal use.

This is a wonderful property. The property is particularly great for families. It's right next to the botanical gardens. The neighborhood is very walkable. Everything was clean and well thought out. Sara was extremely responsive. We really enjoyed our stay
We had a wonderful stay, the place was extremely clean and had everything we needed. We especially loved the location and baby equipment that was available!
Great house in a great location! Our kids loved the play-set in the backyard. Additional amenities for kids were a nice bonus. Space to spread out. Easy check-in and check-out processes. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed here for 5 nights while some work was being done at our home. It had everything we needed for our family of 4. The beds were comfortable, the communication with the host was easy, and it’s in a great location close to the botanical gardens.
We were so lucky the weather was perfect. We were able to utilize the back yard which was perfect for the young kids. Great location for us to go to any of the museums, the zoo, aquarium, and garden. The house was fantastic and completely childproof which was great for us to really relax on our stay.
Cute upper half of house. Close to Missouri Botanical Gardens, walking path and Tower Grove Park. We were not there much, so much adventuring to do! Home was clean and beds were very comfy
Super cute and clean place to stay. Really In the middle of so many fun things to do in St. Louis. Owner has so many nice touches in the place and very responsive to questions. So pleased to be able to bring our dogs and let them share our vacation. Would absolutely stay here again if in the area.

Hay, thanks for the great feedback and taking the time to write the review. I hope you get a chance to come back to Saint Louis again.
The home was very nice and clean. The host Sara was prompt in answering all our questions. Thanks for the list of local attractions we experienced some new great places. Thank you for the great stay!
I cannot imagine a better VRBO for our family with 4 kids ages 2-7. Sara has thought of EVERYTHING a family might need, from a high chair to pack n play to sound machines for every bedroom, and more! The playset in the backyard was a huge win and our kids loved it. The entire home was clean, comfortable, and stylish. We visit St Louis often and hope to make this our home away from home!
This was perfect for our family's stay. We have a 2 young kids (2 & 3.5) and it was definitely toddler proof. The fenced in backyard and playground was wonderful for those times of the day we needed to be at the house. The location was great, close to everything in St. Louis (zoo, museums, downtown) and the neighborhood felt safe and was quiet. The unit was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We'll definitely book again for our next trip and would recommend.
We had a wonderful time in St louis. We loved how close the rental was to lots of things that we could walk to. Sara had some great recommendations for our teenage sons to do some shopping in some super cool areas.
WOW. This stands out as one of the best vacation rental experiences we've ever had. We really appreciated the coffee options (drip and espresso) and the collection of games for our family trip. Location was convenient. Instructions for parking and accessing the home were super clear. But above all, Sara answered my questions about certain St. Louis attractions and was cheerful and helpful every step of the way. Would definitely book again.
Fantastic stay! The location was perfect for exploring St Louis, with all the major attractions within easy reach (passes to the Botanical Garden next door were an added bonus). The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Sara was incredibly responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!
The neighborhood was very nice. Also a fantastic location in the city. We were centrally located and able to get everywhere easily. Sara was also very responsive if we had any questions. It was very nice to have the baby toys, pack n play, etc already at the house.
