We enjoy staying at historic homes in great neighborhoods and this was one of them! The only complaint we have are that the beds are uncomfortable. The addition of a mattress topper might be helpful? We gave this rental three stars because the quality of sleep is an important aspect of renting a VRBO.

House was clean, parking is tight for larger vehicles and location was ideal. The second floor was hot, even with temperature turned down on thermostat. Older home so noisy floors, etc. Great decor and quiet neighborhood. There is no fenced in back yard.

We loved our stay at this house in St. Louis. The house easily accommodated 4 families and met all of our needs. We would absolutely stay here again. The house is in a fabulous location. Most everything we did (all major sights) was within 10-15 min max from the house, with a majority being 10 min or less. The house is next to a lovely cafe and within walking distance to Missouri Botanical Gardens. The neighborhood was safe. There were two parking spots reserved for the house but plenty of street parking.

Great place for a family getaway!

We were in town for a family wedding and loved this place. It was so close to everything and it was great to have the extra space and parking that hotels don't provide.

Fabulous house

We loved the home; built in early 1900’s. So charming!! Our littles loved the older hardwood floors. So well decorated; not overdone. Quiet neighborhood, walking distance to the Botanical Gardens. Cafe across the street is good. Easy to get around. Definitely recommend for families.

Nice older property. Remodeled except for the flooring. Might be original wood floor. Lots of bedrooms that were clean and comfortable. Temps were in the upper 90’s during our stay and the upstairs bedrooms were considerably warmer than downstairs. All room had ceiling fans. I enjoyed the neighborhood. Weather limited our walking around.

STL getaway

We chose STL because it was central to our families. Our grandsons were on spring break which is why we visited this time of year. The house was very clean and very central to so many activities. We ended up have pretty good weather considering it can literally be any season at this time. Highly recommend this property.

Quick fall family trip to STL

Great location! Our family used to live in the same neighborhood and we really appreciated the close proximity to Tower Grove Park, the Science Center, zoo, and Botanical Gardens. Extra bonus from being across the street from one of our favorite neighborhood cafes (Fiddlehead Fern). Very clean! My wife commented that it was one of the cleaner Vrbos we’ve stayed at.
