This space was perfect for a long weekend with family from out of town. Plenty of rooms for everyone to have their own space and great shared living spaces. The kitchen is a tight squeeze, but it had everything we needed to make dinners for our group.A major perk is the proximity to Forest Park!
House is in a quiet location with access to many restaurants. Historical sights and buildings seemed to be mixed in where ever we went. Need to stay longer next time and see and enjoy the sights.
We seem to have trouble getting hot water. It would get warm but not hot. Other than that everything was great.

Thank you for the great feedback! I'm sorry about the hot water — this was the first I heard of it, and this isn't the experience you deserved to have. Please don't hesitate to reach out during your stay for anything that needs attention, as I'm always happy to help get it resolved quickly. Hope to see you again!
Everything was great! We spent much of time in Clayton and it was easy to get to around from this location. Walked to Art Museum , Forest Park area and had a great time at the nearby Heavy Riff Brewery!!
As a group of friends meeting together from all different cities, this home was a perfect place to work as a home base. Our expectations were exceeded with the abundance open places to gather, both indoors and outdoors as well as the cleanliness of the home in general. We also really enjoyed working with the property owners and they made sure our stay was exactly what we wanted.
The property was very nice, comfortable, and everything was as expected. The neighborhood was nice and great for walking with the kids. The location was perfect for visiting the zoo.
We had a wonderful extended weekend in St Louis and this property is perfect. Located in a very quiet neighborhood with easy access. The beds are the most comfortable we have ever had away from home. You will love this place!!
Everything was exactly as described. The location was great. The house was very spacious and had plenty of toiletries and other essentials. We enjoyed our stay!
We had a wonderful weekend at this home! The neighborhood was great! Location great! Walking distance to several bar/restaurants and bakeries. We will definitely look to stay here again!

Thank you for your kind words, Alycea! Happy to hear you enjoyed the neighborhood. Come back and stay anytime!
We stayed a long weekend for a family wedding, the location was central and east access to all areas of the city and county. The house was nicely furnished and equipped - we used the iron!
