About this property
The Dackel - Townhouse in Historic Soulard
Located in the heart of Historic Soulard within walking distance to the neighborhood coffeeshops, used book store, Farmer's Market, and dozens of locally-owned restaurants and bars. The Dackel is a light-filled, two-story loft-style townhouse with a private entrance and off-street assigned parking with enough room to park two vehicles in tandem (one in front of the other). Amenities are conducive for a short or long-term stay. The brick courtyard is a relaxing space to enjoy your morning cup of coffee!
The space includes a full kitchen and living room on the main floor. The second floor starts with a spiral staircase and features an ultra comfortable King bed, full bath, and large walk-in closet. All basic cooking essentials, coffeemaker with fresh roasted coffee, linens, towels, iron, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, high speed internet, and a 48" SMART TV, and record player with records are provided. Free washer and dryer, with complimentary laundry detergent, are located in the basement for your use.
The private front entrance has code locks for easy self check-in. You'll be provided with a personal code prior to your arrival, which will be unique to you.
My wife, Laura, and I live three City blocks from the The Dackel. We'll assume you'd like completely privacy during your visit, but if you need immediate personal assistance, we can meet you within minutes.
Please note that while the location provides you with the benefit of convenient access to great restaurants, bars, and shops, you will be in a bustling entertainment district and may be subject to occasional urban sounds, such as a loud car or excited group of bar-hoppers walking past your home.
The Dackel is next door to The Dachshund and and The Doxie, which are similar Townhouses to the instant listing. If you are looking to accommodate more guests, you can rent one, two, or three spaces at once if they are available! Because we operate adjacent townhomes, we try our absolute best to book wonderful guests to ensure your neighbors are respectful. As a result, we do NOT host guests that are local to St. Louis and/or with 0 reviews! This our non-negotiable policy.
The Dackel can accommodate a maximum of 2 guests. NO additional guests will be permitted on the property at any time for any reason during your stay, unless they have been pre-approved.
* If you are looking for a long-term rental (two or more weeks) due to a work or family commitment, please send me a message and we can discuss a discounted rate based on the length of time of your planned extended stay.

We really enjoyed this little gem! From the great location and parking to all the cute lil touches! Loved the records and record collection. Loved sitting out on the balcony having morning coffee! Everything was perfect for our Girl’s Weekend!

This was an exceptionally located place, great parking, very private and quiet but so close and walkable to many neighborhood establishments. We visited several restaurants, a great donut shop, a coffee house, the Soulard market, and really just enjoyed walking around and getting a feel for the neighborhood. The townhouse was quite homey, nicely decorated, fully equipped kitchen, some GREAT records and turntable, a comfy bed, nice dressing room and closet, and a cute spiral staircase. A bit challenging getting the suitcases up and down, but fun nonetheless!! :) We did have a slight issue while we were there, but this gave us a chance to meet our host in person - Jim was there immediately, doing his best to alleviate the situation. I would highly recommend this place, and would stay again. Thanks so much Jim!!!
This quaint little abode resides in the charming Soulard neighborhood. I definitely recommend checking it out. There's a fantastic bagel shop (Baked & Boiled Bagels), outstanding BBQ (Bogart's), and excellent pizza & cocktails (Pizzeoli -- if you go, say hello to Daniel for me!) all in the area. Molly's and 1860 can be a bit rowdy late in the evenings, but nothing crazy. A fairly quick ride-share away from being downtown to the Americas Center, Busch Stadium, or Anheuser-Busch for a brewery tour! Super convenient!
The apartment is a funky, comfortable space that feels like you are New Orleans with its porch and shady garden courtyard. The location is in the heart of the Soulard music and bar scene. Bed was so comfy and we slept well. Host was great. Can’t wait to come back!
The townhome is exactly as described. Clean and welcoming. Extremely walkable neighborhood. The designated off-street parking was nice, too. We had easy communication and check into the townhome. We would stay here again.
The designated parking spot was close to the townhouse and I felt was very safe. This was in a location with a lot of "night life", but the townhouse itself was quiet and had nice garden/courtyard views. The townhouse kitchen was very well furnished with everything you need to cook meals. The welcome basket full of snacks was appreciated! The whole place was super clean and comfortable.
We really enjoyed our stay. It’s safe and in a great neighborhood. Lots of dining and entertaining choices within walking distance!! Definitely a future repeat stay place
We had a great time! The area is so fun and was perfect for us! Cannot thank James enough for the last minute accommodations we needed! Definitely recommend this place!
Awesome place and great location! Perfect little spot that was great for my wife and I. Can walk and get anywhere in the neighborhood very easily. We will definitely being staying there again on our next visit to St Louis!
We loved it here! Clean and comfortable. Great location, access to everything was easy. We visited the coffee shop everyday for the coffee and chocolate chip cookie!
The Dackel was clean and welcoming, just as advertised and we had an overall wonderful experience! The owners left a binder with some great suggestions that we took and we would suggest adding Clementine's Ice Cream to your list. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!!
The place was awesome! We loved the decor and the spiral staircase! Everything was clean and comfortable.
The location couldn't have been better! We had a great time!

About the host
Hosted by James T Lettau
My wife, Laura, and I are transplants to St. Louis. She is from Philadelphia and I am from Pittsburgh. We moved here in 2012 for new jobs, met each other, and fell in love with each other and St. Louis! We live in Soulard and are very passionate about this neighborhood. We own two businesses in Soulard, Protagonist Cafe (the local coffeeshop and used bookstore) and Pieces (a board game bar and restaurant). We live above the coffeeshop and are highly active in neighborhood groups and boards. Laura loves to compare us to Luke and Lorelai from The Gilmore Girls, especially after we started our AirBNB and Vrbo journey!
Why they chose this property
We purchased this property from a long-time resident of Soulard who operated this space as a short-term rental for 30 years! The moment we stepped foot on it, we knew it was magical. The moment you step on the property you are surrounded by an open-air Courtyard filled with beautiful foliage and aged ivy cascading up the historic brick building. It truly is a quiet oasis away from the urban setting. The Dackel itself is a modern, clean, renovated space that makes you feel at ease the moment you enter. The first thing we hear most of our guests do upon arrival is throw on a record, pop open a bottle of complimentary wine, and relax.
What makes this property unique
Location! Location! Location! You are walking distance from quaint coffeeshops, the highly popular and historic Soulard Farmer's Market, and bars and restaurants (many of which are known for their gorgeous outdoor courtyards and patios). The Dackel is also a 5 minute Uber drive from Downtown so you can easily access the Arch, the Cardinal's, the Blues, music venues, and the new Ferris Wheel and Aquarium! If you're more of a homebody, you can avoid the bustling activity outside by cozying up and making dinner as we provide all utensils for cooking. We are also within walking distance of a locally-owned grocer, Vincent's Market.
