This was a great place for a Girls’ trip to explore STL. It is very well located to see many of the sights in the city. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. This home is very old in a charming area and has been completely renovated.

Ideal in every way!

Our stay at West Park Rental was really perfect! From ease of access, to a spotless home, to a fantastic location, to comfort for family reuniting, to fast response times when I reached out…everything about our stay was great! My family travels a lot, and they were super impressed with how great our rental was. Thank You so much for enhancing our St Louis visit!!

Cute little house in St. Louis

My friends and all our kiddos enjoyed staying here for a couple days while we explored St. Louis. The house was well maintained with nice updates in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kids loved the games and books that were available at the house. Street parking right outside was convenient. Would recommend this VRBO to friends!

STL WEDDING TRIP!

The house was perfect for our weekend trip! The host was very kind always responded in a timely manner! The home is in a great location, minutes away from forest park (which was amazing and so much fun for us and the kids). One of the children accidentally broke a window, this is the first time anything has been damaged when we were renting😅. We took care of the cost of the repair and they were super kind and understanding!

Comfortable, safe home in a convenient location

My wife, our three adult kids, their mates and one infant stayed over a weekend in this comfortable, updated home. Plenty of room for the eight adults and one baby. The primary bedroom downstairs features a huge bathroom with walk-in shower. Three upstairs bedrooms were comfy and shared a bathroom. We cooked several meals in the kitchen and had everything we needed. The location is great. About 15 minutes to downtown. 15-20 to the airport. About 15 to west suburbs. This is a neighborhood of older, well-cared for homes. The house is completely modernized inside with new appliances and fixtures. Beautiful wood floors. The only suggestion would be for lamp shades on the two floor lamps in the living room that had only bare bulbs and put out an unpleasant glare. (Or, put dimmers on the ceiling lights which are quite bright.) Second request would be for a place to put clothes in the primary bedroom, where there is no dresser if closet. Minor points in what was an overwhelmingly great stay in a large, roomy house in a great neighborhood. It’s close to The Hill, which has many excellent Italian restaurants. Would absolutely stay here again.

We had a lovely time in St Louis. The house was within minutes to Forest Park and the St Louis Zoo. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the towels in the bathroom were so soft. We took several walks in the neighborhood and ended up finding Alibi cookies. We had great communication with the hosts and we encountered no issues during our stay. If we ever would come back to St Louis, we would stay here again!

Cleaning issues

Home was not ready at check in due to cleaning not being completed. The normal cleaning crew didn't clean so another "emergency" cleaning crew was sent in. The "crew" was one person who arrived 30 minutes before check in and spent one hour cleaning. The home is larger and the hour she spent was simply not enough. There was a dirty pan in the oven, trash in drawers and no trash liners in the trash can. We had to finish the cleaning ourselves. Location met our needs. However I cannot recommend this location due to poor cleaning.

Wonderful Weekend Stay!

We were only here for 2 nights, but it was a great place to stay. A ton of room for everyone to sleep between 2 families. We also met the neighbors next door who were very helpful when we needed an extension cord and they also gave us tips on places to take our kids. We loved that it was walking distance to restaurants and just a short drive to the zoo. We had a great stay, easy booking and checking in/out process, and we had everything we need. Highly recommend!

Great property in a highly convenient location

This property has been very nicely and recently renovated and looks really nice, although you can tell the building itself is still pretty old. We loved that our family of 8 could fit easily in the space without having to use any sofa beds or cots, etc. And the AC works very nicely which was a must during the summer (although it is kind of loud). We also love the location, and we usually try to book places in this neighborhood when we visit St. Louis as it's central to a lot of sites and easy access to both highway 44 and 64/40. As a heads up, the master bedroom didn't have a lock on the door, and there are no other doors for the master bath area other than the laundry space - I know this is a style preference that some people like but we would have preferred a little more privacy in that regard. Overall I would come back to this place in the future though.
