Good deal

The apartment is super cute. And the neighborhood is cute. We seen numerous families out enjoying the weather. We did not feel unsafe at any time while staying here. The stairs inside the apartment are steep and there needs to be some type of gate at the top of the stairs to protect children from falling. The bathroom was really the only place that needed to be deep cleaned. Like the baseboards, shelves, sink ect. There is a day bed with a trundle not two separate standing beds. Overall we enjoyed the apartment, and would rent it again.

Nightmare, Host from hell

Paid for 1 month unfortunately. Extremely violent neighborhood, often hear gunshots near the home one or more times a day. No ‘restaurants “boutiques” cafes’ as stated in her ad anywhere near here. Not one business but a gas station. Nothing. except the one coffee shop she goes on and on about. The only way to get internet is to keep the modem turned off and only turn it one when you want to watch tv or are home because her renters downstairs use up all the data. If it’s on there is literally no internet though she says she has “really high speed internet”. When I ask her about the lack of internet she says I’m demanding or lying. Her "nice neighbors": the house next door is condemned, the other side asks for money. Her queen "mattress" is 10" of eggcrate foam on 3 metal frames so it won’t sag. Urine/semen stains on the bed cover- removed it to wash- never been removed or washed, NOT water proof/resistent, so it soaked into the foam!! and she only had a regular sheet over the pad!!! That means she allowed people to sleep next to other people’s body fluids which can contain Hep C, B. Seriously. The other room’s “twin beds” is a day bed with a trundle bed underneath. My 5’11” son’s feet hang through the bars at the end of the bed. Luckily the trundle mattress is new so I put that over the queen mattress. The rest of the home is dirty and very superficially cleaned. From day two I complained daily to VRBO about all of her intentionally false ad descriptions and the dangerous neighborhood, the conditions of the home, her refusal to work with me, her rudeness, name calling and demeaning words. My main concern was how violent the area was (91.6/100 crime index) not typical St Louis as she says in her ad by far. My grave concern was for my child and his severe anxiety disorder. I wanted a full refund so I could find another place. She would only argue and then texted "I'm done with you. Vacate the apartment 4/21 (10 days after move-in)". No refund, so without the funds we can’t leave. 4/21 while I was at work she walked in with a big dog, a man and told my CHILD to leave with our things. My son, frightened, called me. I called 911 so the police went to the home and told her not to enter it when it is rented. We have barricaded the door until the end of the rental agreement. 4/23 new renters tried to enter the apt. though we're still here and she is aware. They were not happy saying they already paid her. VRBO say they can do nothing.

Visiting family

The house was nice to stay in. I did notice that it was a little dirty and not well maintained. I went to the store the day after I got there and bought some cleaning supplies my self and cleaned it a little. But over all it was a good stay.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Gallagher

This duplex was one of my first purchases in St. Louis. Formerly a single family home, the rehabber converted the building into to apartments with and adorable layout. It has a couple of quirks like some uneven floors and crooked windows due to settling, but it is in great shape now. This building has two short term rentals with two bedrooms and an office. We like to keep the number of people in our short term rentals in check so that we don't have issues with the neighbors. This is a great place to stay for awhile and work.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this building to start building a real estate portfolio. At the time, I lived in California. I have since relocated to St. Louis. I love the variation in weather here.

What makes this property unique

Staying at The Den is having an experience of a typical St. Louis neighborhood. The neighborhood is very diverse. Our neighbors across the street on both sides are super nice. The building is within walking disctance to Cherokee Street which has eclectic stores and many restaurants. Sump Coffee shop, which enjoys a cult following, is super close.
