Close by, you will find the beautiful Missouri Botanical Gardens, restaurants, and shops with miles of tree-lined paths, playgrounds, fountains, and points of interest, including the top-rated and free Zoo and Art Museum. Foods from around the world are served at nearby restaurants on Grand Ave with no shortage of Italian restaurants on "The Hill" nearby.

The best way to get around is by car, with most highways nearby. You can also use the Metro Link light rail system to access many major attractions.

We’re glad the space worked out so well for your group and that you had a great time together. Thanks for staying with us.
This property was perfect for our family vacation. It was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The garage was a great bonus for safely storing our car overnight. We felt safe and secure throughout our time on the property. Communication with the host was excellent—responsive and helpful!

We appreciate your review! It’s great to hear you felt at home and loved the area. Hope to see you again soon.
Our family gathered in this home as we celebrated the memory of my father who recently passed. We all slept comfortably, enjoyed a big family meal and shared stories in this rental that lived as a home. Thank you

Thank you so much for sharing such a meaningful message. We’re truly honored that our home could be a comforting space for your family during such a special and emotional time. We're glad it provided a warm and welcoming place to gather, rest, and remember your father. Wishing you and your family continued peace and healing, you're always welcome back.
The home is well stocked with necessities such as soap, toilet paper and linens. The location of the home was great for visiting the Arch, zoo, museums and Union Station. The home was clean and had plenty of sleeping arrangements. The parking pad in the back was large enough for 2 vehicles. The leaving cleaning instructions were simple which was very nice to have while traveling. The upstairs bathroom shower drain does need fixed but I notified them about it and assume they will be fixing that.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're glad to hear you found the home clean, well-stocked, and conveniently located for all your St. Louis adventures. It’s great to know the parking and simple check-out instructions helped make your stay even smoother.
We also appreciate you bringing the upstairs shower drain to our attention, it has since been fixed. Thanks again for helping us keep everything in top shape!
We’d love to host you again on your next trip to the area!
The property is just as listed. It was nice to have the basement as a place for all of our kids to go to hang out with beds and a tv. The kitchen was stocked nicely with plates, cups and silverware. There were several pots and pans but no serving dishes. Every time we used the oven or stove the smoke detector in the back room went off, setting them all off in the house. It was just an inconvenience. Everything we wanted to do (Science Center, Gateway Arch, City Museum) was only about a 15 minute drive. We would stay here again!
