Someone was attentive about answering questions but not delivering on service. There was not enough silverware to eat a meal together, no coffee available, no crock pot or other kitchen tools, water pressure in bathroom was terrible. So disappointed that we spent so much money for so little. Only plusses were bed comfort and parking.

Nephew's wedding

I believe the house is a wonderful home that was built in 1896, 3story on a quiet street. And is a short drive to the downtown area. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this house.

Great house, great location

We came to STL for a short visit with family and to watch baseball and this house was perfect! It was spotless and the owner was very responsive. It was also about a 10 minute drive to the stadium, and a 5 minute drive to some great restaurants and parks. The neighborhood was very nice and we were able to walk to a playground and park very easily. Great for families traveling with kids.

Great “home base” for our family

We booked the house for our trip to a family wedding. Most people stayed in the venue hotel, but our side of the family wanted to share a place so we could spend more time together. We had a fantastic experience! The house is beautiful and has been nicely restored. The neighborhood is lovely and we were just minutes away from the downtown St. Louis wedding venue and event space. So thankful for the many happy memories we were able to make! Communication with the home’s management was also fantastic.

Excellent rental for a reunion!

We were a group of returned PEACE CORPS VOLUNTEERS all over the age of 75 who try to get together once a year. This proved to be a lovely home in a good location. There was a large table that was ideal for gathering around and the kitchen was upgraded from the older original kitchen. It was a joy to prepare food in this kitchen. There were a few minor issues but the owner/manager was readily available to answer my questions at all times. The only real issue for us was our age and the long stairs to deal with. There was no bathroom on the top floor so night trips to the bathroom meant a long descent and return in the night for people who needed to get up in the night. This would not be an issue for younger people. All and all we can highly recommend this rental!
