About this property
The Doxie - Townhouse in Historic Soulard
Located in the heart of Historic Soulard. Within walking distance to the neighborhood coffeeshop & used book store, Protagonist Cafe, Soulard Farmer's Market, and numerous locally-owned restaurants and bars. The Doxie is a light-filled, two-story townhouse with two bedrooms (one is a loft) and one bath. The decor is fun and comfortable with an urban feel. Amenities provided 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
The Doxie is a two-story 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). The space includes a full kitchen and living room on the main floor with two bedrooms (one being a loft) and full bath on the second floor. All basic cooking essentials, linens, towels, iron, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, standard cable, high speed internet, and a 48" SMART TV are provided. Free washer and dryer, with complimentary laundry detergent, are located in the basement for your use.
The Doxie is next door to The Dachshund and and The Dackel, which are similar spaces to the instant listing. So, if you are looking to accommodate more than 4 guests, you can rent one, two, or three spaces at once if they are available!
* Check out my custom "Guidebook" for personal recommendations from my wife and I for places to eat, drink, and visit! The Guidebook is located in the section under map below.
Guest access
Accessing The Doxie is easy! Once you enter the rear courtyard you'll immediately see your assigned parking spot (if needed). Code locks are located on your front door. You'll be provided with a personal code prior to your check-in. The code will be the last four digits of your phone number to make it easy to remember and to comfort you that the code is personal to you and has been changed since the last guest.
The Owners (my wife Laura and I) live three City blocks from the space. We'll assume you'd like completely privacy during your visit, but if you need immediate personal assistance, we can be at your townhouse within minutes.
Other things to note
The Doxie is located within the heart of Soulard's entertainment district. While the location provides you with benefit of convenient access to great restaurants, bars, and shops, please note that the area is full of people on weekends so you will have the urban sounds associated with living in a vibrant part of an entertainment neighborhood. These sounds can include some street traffic and noise from folks walking around the neighborhood.
We operate adjacent townhomes, The Dachschund and the Dackel. To ensure your neighbors are respectful, we do NOT host guests that are local to St. Louis and/or with 0 reviews! This our non-negotiable policy. Additionally, The Doxie can accommodate a MAXIMUM of 4 guests. NO additional guests will be permitted on the property at any time for any reason during your stay.
* 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.

Frequently asked questions
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.
