Nice stay close to the zoo.

We enjoyed our stay even with the bitter cold days. The house could use a revamp on the heat especially in the back bathroom, but overall, it was a pleasant experience!

This was a great place for a Girls’ trip to explore STL. It is very well located to see many of the sights in the city. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. This home is very old in a charming area and has been completely renovated.

Great property in a highly convenient location

This property has been very nicely and recently renovated and looks really nice, although you can tell the building itself is still pretty old. We loved that our family of 8 could fit easily in the space without having to use any sofa beds or cots, etc. And the AC works very nicely which was a must during the summer (although it is kind of loud). We also love the location, and we usually try to book places in this neighborhood when we visit St. Louis as it's central to a lot of sites and easy access to both highway 44 and 64/40. As a heads up, the master bedroom didn't have a lock on the door, and there are no other doors for the master bath area other than the laundry space - I know this is a style preference that some people like but we would have preferred a little more privacy in that regard. Overall I would come back to this place in the future though.

STL WEDDING TRIP!

The house was perfect for our weekend trip! The host was very kind always responded in a timely manner! The home is in a great location, minutes away from forest park (which was amazing and so much fun for us and the kids). One of the children accidentally broke a window, this is the first time anything has been damaged when we were renting😅. We took care of the cost of the repair and they were super kind and understanding!

Comfortable, safe home in a convenient location

My wife, our three adult kids, their mates and one infant stayed over a weekend in this comfortable, updated home. Plenty of room for the eight adults and one baby. The primary bedroom downstairs features a huge bathroom with walk-in shower. Three upstairs bedrooms were comfy and shared a bathroom. We cooked several meals in the kitchen and had everything we needed. The location is great. About 15 minutes to downtown. 15-20 to the airport. About 15 to west suburbs. This is a neighborhood of older, well-cared for homes. The house is completely modernized inside with new appliances and fixtures. Beautiful wood floors. The only suggestion would be for lamp shades on the two floor lamps in the living room that had only bare bulbs and put out an unpleasant glare. (Or, put dimmers on the ceiling lights which are quite bright.) Second request would be for a place to put clothes in the primary bedroom, where there is no dresser if closet. Minor points in what was an overwhelmingly great stay in a large, roomy house in a great neighborhood. It’s close to The Hill, which has many excellent Italian restaurants. Would absolutely stay here again.

Cute Dogtown House

Nice house in a great location. It was easy to find and get around the city. I would definitely stay there again. The house had everything you need for a quick trip or a longer stay. The one thing of note is the beds are a little too high for elderly individuals to climb into. I think a simple step stool would correct the issue. Overall, we would go back to this exact house again. We love and miss the LOU!

Perfect for SLU Graduation

Such a cute house. The location was great - close to SLU, the Hill, and the highway to get to the Busch Stadium, The Arch, just to name a few. We were a party of 10 and were comfortable in the house. The neighborhood is great. We went for a walk and found a coffee/ice cream shop, an Irish pub, a BBQ place. Would definitely stay here again. 😀

Perfect place and location

This was our fourth annual trip together - four old friends committed to staying in relationship. The house was great. It was clean, well-stocked with linens, soaps, and whatnot. It was as advertised We also loved the neighborhood. Seamus McDaniel’s was awesome, just five blocks away, and Eovaldi’s Deli wasn’t far, either. We stayed in one night, ordering IMO’s Pizza - again, just down the street. Perfect place. Perfect location. I bet we will be back!

Clean and close to everything

We loved our visit to STL and our stay at this home in the Dogtown neighborhood. The house was one of the cleanest rental I’ve stayed in. The house was spacious for our family. There’s a large master and bathroom downstairs plus 3 large rooms (with queens) upstairs and a nice 2 vanity bathroom (upstairs). There’s an additional bathroom down next to the kitchen. The house was so well stocked. It had everything we needed to prepare our breakfasts and lunches daily. We shopped at a nearby Schnucks (Arsenal). There were also plenty of clean towels and linens. We did utilize the laundry also (because kids)! We loved the neighborhood and ate at a nice restaurant the last day (Felix’s). The neighborhood was safe and a 5-15 minute drive to all the attractions- zoo, arch, Union station, The Hill (yummy Italian food). Even though we didn’t use it there was a nice fenced backyard the kids could play in. The host was very friendly and easy to get in touch with but we had no issues at all during our stay. Would definitely stay here again for our next STL trip.

Perfect house to rent

Our family rented this house for a Christmas trip where we were going to the Zoo, Grants Farm, Magic house, St. Charles downtown district and Santa’s Magical Kingdom at Jellystone Park in Eureka. We wanted something centrally located between all of it, but closest to the zoo. Literally 3 mins away from the zoo which was nice. We felt very safe in the neighborhood which was a concern going in and not really knowing the area. The house was very clean with updated decor and also plenty big for our family of 10. It was well stocked with super comfortable beds! Check in/out was simple and the host was easy to communicate with. We will def stay here again.

The zoo is a 15 minute nice walk. It seemed everything else was about 10 minute drive. House is old so noisy (floors, doors). Upstairs gets a little warm. Check out is at 10 am which felt early. But overall we were very pleased with our stay.
