The apartment was conveniently close to the Metro/bus station and also to a convenience store. It was in a quiet neighborhood. It was attractively decorated and included basic as well as extra amenities to make our stay more enjoyable. It had a microwave, coffee maker with coffee packets, snacks, a mini fridge, many movies to watch, brochures on St Louis, extra blankets and fresh towels provided as needed.

We were traveling for medical reasons and found this listing and gave it a try. WOW! It was so quiet and comfortable. It's a basement unit, but we seldom heard any noise from above. The cozy area in this vintage home reminded me of grandma's kitschy basement. The theme was cute, as were the friendly squirrels in the backyard. Our stay was MUCH more satisfying than a stay in a noisy hotel. Because I was semi-incompaitated, my husband had to dash out for food and Wal-Mart. He was back in a jiffy, because this place is very conveniently located. Big thumbs up to our hosts as well!

Great deal!

My teen and I just needed a place to chill on our two night trip to see the sights. This place is a great location if you don't want to drive in downtown St.Louis as there is a rail stop (with parking) just a couple blocks away. We rode the rail in and also used it to get around downtown. After a rainy sight seeing trip, the space was nice and cozy.

I found it to be very clean and quiet. Bed and chairs could have been more comfortable, but for the price it was reasonable. I parked around the corner on St. Vincent. I felt my car was safer there.

Cozy oasis near Webster Campus

Cool clean and comfy stay. This is a single room in the basement of a single family home with its own entrance at the back of the house, off street parking right out front. Fewer than ten minutes drive to Opera Theater St. Louis’s festival playhouse.

Beverly and Tim were great hosts! The place is super cute, clean, and comfy. Very close to dining options and touristic places. I went with my partner to ser the Eclipse, but we were also able to walk around Saint Louis and know more about the city. If we'll come back to St. Louis, we'll definitely be in touch with then again. Very happy to have stayed there :)

About the host

Hosted by Tim Thorndike & Beverly Bartlett

Host profile image
Beverly and Tim have visited 14 countries and aside from the US, have lived in Germany. We love getting to know people from all cultures, enjoy learning about their languages and love hearing accents from all over. We also love sharing the music from other countries. Beverly grew up in San Francisco, California and Tim's upbringing was in Northeastern Ohio. Our interests include photography, languages, the performing arts, canoeing, backpacking, sailing and kayaking. We currently live in Shrewsbury, MO on the edge of St. Louis city.

Why they chose this property

The property is a block or two away from the city of St. Louis, MO and a mere stone's throw from the Shrewsbury MetroLink transit station. The MetroLink is very affordable and stops at the most in-demand places, like the Arch, Busch Stadium, Central West End, Civic Center, Convention Center, Lambert International Airport, UMSL and Washington University.

What makes this property unique

Along with our interests, we love all animals, but specifically dogs. If you have a little non-yappie, house-trained, well-behaved dog, we would love to include your pet as one of our guests.

Also, our accommodations are unique with a Key West/ Caribbean theme. We are the unofficial Midwest Consulate of Key West, promoting tourism and commerce with Key West.
