Our stay at Tim & Beverly's space was perfect for our Sister's weekend in St. Louis! It was just what we were looking for. Shopping, restaurants, and even the Cardinals Stadium were only a short drive from us. The hosts and accommodations were wonderful! We will definitely return when staying in the St. Louis area.

Tim and Beverly are excellent hosts. We enjoyed our stay while we visited the St. Louis Arch and St. Louis Zoo. The room is clean, and they have lots of extras like coffee, hot chocolate, an extensive collection of movies, and much more. We would definitely stay with them again in their "A Touch of Key West" themed efficiency if we return to St. Louis! Great hosts...Bravo!

The hosts were very kind. I asked for a bedside lamp so that I could read myself to sleep, and they provided one quickly. Lots of thoughtful details like chocolates on the pillow, cream for the coffee, first aid kit, tourist information. The decorating theme carries through the whole space.
