☆Guest Access☆

Guests will have access to all areas described in this listing with the exception of our locked storage closet, which we use for cleaning products and supplies and may not be accessed by guests.

☆ The Neighborhood ☆

Take the short 5 block walk to Grand Blvd to sample the international cuisine and experience the eclectic bars of South Grand, or cross the road and take a stroll in the elegant 19th-century Victorian walking park known as Tower Grove Park. If you're here for tourism, then you've chosen the perfect location-it's a quick 10-minute (or less) drive to basically every other tourist destination in St. Louis: Soulard (Anheuser-Busch Brewery, historic district, dining/nightlife), Lafayette Square (historic district), Downtown (the arch/Laclede's landing, Busch Stadium, the Scottrade center, dining/nightlife), the Central West End (Cathedral Basilica, Forest Park, World Chess Hall of Fame, dining/nightlife), the Grove (dining/nightlife), the Hill (historic district, Italian dining), the Loop (historic district, dining/nightlife).

☆ Pending Maintenance Issue (Updated 3/14/2024) ☆

The recent storm damaged our backyard fence so we're in the process of getting bids to have it repaired. The yard is accessible as normal, but one of the panels from the fence is currently removed until we have it restored.

☆ Pets ☆

Bringing your furry friends? We're dog friendly! Our pet fee is $19 per night, per dog ($38 minimum). We allow up to 3 dogs with a weight limit of 60 lbs per pup. Pet fees are paid separately after booking, and we offer discounts for guests staying longer than a week! Just let us know the number of companions you'll be bringing with you when you checkout and we'll get you set up!

☆ Long-Term Stays ☆

Unlike most other hosts, corporate housing is our specialty. We prepare our homes not just to handle the needs of guests staying a few days, but for guests staying for months or years. Not only are our homes better equipped for your needs, our long-term rates are among the most competitive available. Guests staying longer than 31 days will not be required to pay sales tax (saving an additional 17%), and will receive huge discounts on add-on services like pets and parking.

☆ House Rules / Refundable Damage Deposit ☆

Most of our guests are incredibly respectful and kind, but occasionally we have guests who treat our home, our cleaners, and/or our neighbors with disrespect. We require all guests to agree to a simple list of reasonable house rules and to pay any associated fines in the event of violation of these rules, and to take responsibility for any damaged or missing items. To that end, we charge a refundable damage deposit of $395 that will be refunded in full assuming there are no damaged/missing items and our house rules are followed. Please familiarize yourself with our house rules in the rental agreement when you check out.

☆ Parking ☆

There is usually ample free parking right in front of the building on Victor (directly in front of the apartment)

☆ Cancellations+Alterations ☆

Travelers who cancel at least 30 days before check-in will get back 100% of the amount they've paid. If they cancel between 14 and 30 days before check-in, they'll get back 50%. Otherwise, they won't get a refund.

The same policies also apply to alterations, with the amount of the refund being applied to the new dates. If the alteration just extends an existing reservation while retaining the original dates, there are no cancellation fees – you just pay for the nights you’re adding

We sometimes receive requests for additional refunds beyond those already offered. We understand that there are many valid reasons for needing to cancel or alter a reservation, so rather than acting as a kind of judge for the validity of each case (and in fairness to our guests who do not ask for special treatment) we highlight and clearly explain the terms of our cancellation policy here to make sure it’s understood upfront and do not offer policy exceptions for any reason.

We ask that guests respect our space, our belongings, our neighbors, and our cleaning crew. We've prepared a reasonable set of house rules that clearly communicate our expectations, and reserve the right to charge fees to guests who violate these rules.
