You’re even closer to Universities (Wash U, SLU, Webster) or major hospitals (Barnes, St. Louis University, St. Mary’s). Just three minutes from Hwy 40/64 or Hwy 44.

This cozy house is steps from the very best that the historic Irish neighborhood of Dogtown has to offer. Great restaurants, shops, Forest Park, and the St. Louis Zoo are all a short walk away. The neighborhood is centrally located, not more than 10 minute drive to anywhere in St. Louis! Welcome to your home away from home.

Dogtown is a wonderful neighborhood within the city of St. Louis! My home is located within walking distance to Forest Park, and specifically the Saint Louis Zoo, voted the best free attraction in the US! Also within walking distance (about 1 minute) from many restaurants and pubs.

Getting Around:
The best way to get around is by car with most highways conveniently nearby. You can also use the Metrolink light rail system to get to many major attractions. Metro's efficient light rail system offers stops throughout the city.

St. Louis also has both UBER and Lyft available. You'll also see lots of Lime and Bird electric scooters throughout the city, so you can zoom wherever you'd like!

We truly value you as our guest, we're always here to help if you need anything during your stay! :)

Great location near all the main attractions.
The location was very close to the zoo. You could walk, but is a hike. The beds and pillows were the best I've enjoyed at a VRBO. Overall very clean. The kitchen didn't have left over odds and end from past guest. The kitchen had just what was needed without too much.

Very clean and comfortable property
This property was ‘as-advertised’, impeccably clean, comfortable beds, what appear to be all new appliances and plenty of household items to make it an easy stay. Although ‘Dogtown’ is an older neighborhood ( read about it in the notebook below the TV) , it has a charm. A handful of restaurants and taverns are located within a block or two (try Sugaree’s Bakery on the corner!). All in all, a very comfortable house and a great location.

Great location - Hot Water Issues
In general, the location is great. Walking distance from bars and restaurants, and even the Zoo! I appreciated that they had a crib and high chair for littles as well. However, it felt like we were staying at a Hostel. We were provided with a rationed number of towels (that were scratchy and thin). Which, we didn't really need anyone because both mornings we stayed there we didn't have hot water. We ended up getting it fixed by afternoon, but it wasn't reliable when we needed to shower in the morning. Additionally, the oven seemed to have issues as it put out excess heat on the stove top and had hot spots inside that set off the fire alarms (faulty wiring it seems). In general, it worked as a place to stay, but wouldn't be somewhere we would book again.
