Last minute trip at a great place

We decided the day before to go to St Louis and were lucky to find a place that met our needs. The owner was quick to respond and kind. The place was exactly as it looked in the photos- small but perfect. We easily fit 4 adults and two very small children. The place was clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you

Great location!!!

The property and location was exactly what we were looking for. The owner sent us all the info we needed before we arrived at the property. We didn’t need to contact the owner because all of our questions were answered in the manual provided. Perfect size for our family of 5! Thank you for your hospitality!

Great experience!

The apartment was clean, well furnished, well-appointed and convenient to everything in St. Louis. The description and pictures were accurate, but it was even better to experience in person. Mike provided remarkable response times and stellar customer service. I'd highly recommend this unit to anyone needing a great alternative to hotels.

Great location and wonderful host!

My grandkids and I stayed here for a week. It is a block from the Botanical Gardens and minutes from everything else. The house is in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Mike, the host, is friendly and charming and happy to suggest things to do. The bedroom is quite comfortable and the kids slept on pull out sofas topped with futons. There are plenty of supplies, as well as books and games. I will remember this place the next time we are in St. Louis.

Great place in a great location

My friend and I arrived on Saturday afternoon and we were able to go right to the place. Since this was my first time renting a VRBO, I contacted the owner with a few questions. Michael reached out to me via phone and email with in mintues and, he answered my questions. Upon our arrival we found a clean and welcoming space filled with everything you need. I would encourage folks to check out this place.

Emily D., Bellingham, WA, United States

Great location

This place was in a great location and had a cute backyard we could enjoy. It is right down the block for the amazing Botanical Gardens and a large park that had Food Truck Friday that was really fun! I wish there had been some local information available such as suggestions as to where to eat, where a good grocery store was, things of that nature, but with wifi we were able to figure it out. VERY comfortable bed and you can barely hear the neighbors. Cute kitchen with most of the necessary items. The inside of the apartment is beautiful. I would stay again. We did buy an air freshener as it did smell a bit like mold, especially in the hallway and some amenities such as soap for the shower or shampoo would have been nice to not have to purchase.

Don’t pass this place up!

I was sold on the location, size of property, and price. The apartment is sandwiched between Tower Grove park and the Botanical Gardens-walking distance to both. We loved walking over to Tower Grove park each morning, especially on Saturday for the Farmer’s Market. There are also a few shops and donut place around the corner (walking distance as well). The apartment itself was sparkling clean when we arrived. Check in was easy as 1-2-3. I personally love written out instructions and Mike provides a detailed binder of just that-explaining everything you could possibly want to know about the apartment and surrounding neighborhood. Very helpful! His description of the place is 100% accurate. I was particularly looking for a place that is kid friendly and this place definitely was! I didn’t recognize any furniture that my son could cut his head on, and mike even provides a few toys and books. What a thoughtful touch! I stayed with my husband and child and there was plenty of room for us in this apartment. I could even see a family of 4 being very comfortable. This place is a steal, don’t pass it up!

The landlord is exceptional.

Mike was exceptional at being available with answers for any questions we had. The place was perfectly set up with everything we needed, especially for a longer stay. Lots of space. Basically, an extra room with an extra bed (or office) in the middle of the home. Don’t be surprised; there is no dishwasher. It’s ok though, you eat out a lot, and there are great restaurants nearby. It was in a historic building and in a safe community. Wooden floors, quiet location, and the King size bed was SO comfortable. There are TV’s in living room and bedroom. Laundry! You can do 4 loads at one time. Mike has a wealth of knowledge for people just passing through, or staying for a while. We feel gratefull to have found this property. 👍❤️ We HAVE rented from him again.

Great place to stay

We have stayed in Mike's apartment before and it is ideal for us. The apartment has more than enough room, has a nicely equipped kitchen, and has a king bed. The washer and dryer is a necessity for us as we Travel light. It is also very convenient for us to go to the Missouri Botanical Garden. We also went to Forest Park and to Tower Grove Park, which is within walking distance. We hope to be able to stay there again.

Nice neighborhood 👍

The location was great for all places we visited. We took a long walk to Forest Park on the evening and never felt the area was not secure. AC worked fine. We never had to lower the temperature from 73 to 70. The sleeping sofas were comfortable with the added mattress. The king size bed was comfortable and so the pillows. Overall we were very comfortable.

The place was awesome. I brought a youth group of 13 and rented all four apartments in this building. Each apartment was clean, had awesomely comfortable beds, and a whole lot of room. Mike was easily accessible for anything we needed. If you're in St. Louis and need a place to stay this is a great option. Great neighborhood, close to everything.

Weekend get away

My family of five (three of which are teenagers) stayed here for a long weekend. Check in and out was easy. Directions were clear. The home was clean and had plenty of room for all of us to find a place to relax. The location was great for what we did (baseball game, arch, Basilica, Grant’s farm, Lone Elk Park and bird sanctuary, Fitz’s, and Ted Drewes). We don’t mind driving a little to get to different places. I highly suggest checking out the Lone Elk park if you like the outdoors. I would definitely recommend this location to families.

About the host

Hosted by Mike York

Host profile image
I bought this historic property in 2010 and have been working to upgrade it over the years. I was born and raised in the St. Louis area and enjoy getting out and about in the city by foot, bike and car. Most of my vacations are spent in the mountains either skiing or down-hill mountain biking. I prefer using VRBO for my vacations and have used my experiences to help shape my own. Feel free to ask me for recommendations of good local eats and key attractions on your visit.

Why they chose this property

I bought this building because it is in a quiet, safe, and historic neighborhood. The centrality of the location allows you to drive, walk or bike easily around the city.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. The apartment is just one-block west of the Missouri Botanical Gardens and three-blocks north of Tower Grove Park. You can walk to several restaurants, shops, parks, the Missouri Botanical Gardens, grocery stores and so much more. Some of the close by neighborhoods that you can walk or bike to include: South Grand, The Hill, Tower Grove South, Shaw, Central West End & The Grove. Also, you have easy freeway access to 64/40, 70, 55 and 44.
