Cute spot in Forest Park

Perfect spot for a small family or those traveling with a few friends or even solo. Walking distance to grocery, restaurants, bars, and Ice Cream, with a Ride share stop right out you can get anywhere or take a short walk to the train.

Excellent stay in Forest Park!

Lynda was a great host and this house has everything I needed for my trip. I had a great time and would recommend to anyone needing a place to stay in Forest Park! If you have mobility needs, keep in mind it's up 2 flights of stairs and has some high thresholds between floors. Everything was clean and comfortable!

Although the apartment was conveniently located and very well put together, there could have been more attention to the cleanliness of the unit as there was hair in the tub and left over food in the microwave(images available) in addition the unit was uncomfortablely cold and when reaching out to the host she started she would increase the temperature, however, it remained the same resulting in early morning departure and photos of the thermostat was taken to show. Overall this is not a property I would recommend as the experience was by far my worst Vrbo rental experience and the parking is a challenging!

Response from VrboOwner on 22 December 2025
The unit is personally inspected prior to every check-in and was delivered professionally cleaned. We did not observe any food left in the microwave; however, when this was mentioned, we immediately offered to return and address it, which the guest declined. The apartment temperature is guest-controlled up to 73°F, and a window was found open, which the guest could have closed, as this significantly affects heating. While we regret this guest was dissatisfied, we stand by the condition and accuracy of our property.

Cozy and Clean!

We had a great experience at Lynda’s place! The bedrooms were a little tight but I think everything was true to the listing. The kitchen had any dishes you would need plus a microwave, toaster, and more. Lynda was quick to respond, even early in the morning. The neighborhood was great! There were plenty of restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations, bars, etc... most within walking distance and/or with free parking. Parking at the house can get tricky at busy times but we always ended up with a spot. If we’re ever in the neighborhood again, we’ll definitely try and stay at Lynda’s again!
