SW Garden in St. Louis

Overall it was a great stay in a great neighborhood. The apartment/condo is as advertised. It's an old south St. Louis building, so it's typical style of that neighborhood. The place is generally updated, with a good sturdy bed, plenty of closet space for a short trip, and it's location is stellar. It's not a huge place, so if you're looking for something big then look elsewhere. For my family of 3 it was perfect. If I had to be picky I'd say the bathroom and kitchen were a little small. If you're tall you may have an issue with the bathroom (I'm not that tall). Owner seems nice and it was mostly quiet in the building. We came during a very hot stretch and the A/C kept us nice and cool. The laundry came in helpful too. Overall I would recommend!

Enjoyable stay

The apartment is as stated and looks just like the pictures. Mike is fantastic and always available. There are steps, and if you are on the 2nd floor, it can be challenging. Great location; everything is less than 10 min away. Six flags is a 30 min easy drive. I will book this location again and will refer all my friends. Thanks Mike!

If you enjoy historic properties with tons of charm - this is the place for you! The location is super convenient to downtown STL and all the fabulous places in The Hill. So much better than a sterile, modern, cold hotel room.

Fine apartment in great area of St Louis city

The apartment is as advertised. It is located very near the Missouri Botanical Gardens, Tower Grove Park, the Hill (known for its Italian restaurants) and short drives to St. Louis University, Barnes Hospital, SLU hospital, Soulard area, downtown St. Louis with the arch, the stadium; virtually in the middle of all the St. Louis city attractions. The pictures provided show all the details of the apartment. Our unit was on the top (second) floor and was quiet. The unit was very clean. The king size bed is fine - not very hard but not squishy soft either. We did not use the other bedding so we cannot comment. I've seen some comments complaining about the toilet being too close to the bath tub. As shown in the pictures there is minimal space between the toilet and bath tub. But considering that I'm 6'4" with size 13 shoes, I was able to easily use the toilet, we have no complaint. Regarding parking, you are in the heart of the city; you need to parallel park on the street. One night we found space nearly in front of the apartment. The other night the only space was half a block away on the other side of the street. If you find such parking arrangements a problem, you might want to consider a hotel . . . most every city apartment is likely to have similar parking arrangements. We had no reason to communicate with the owner other than the standard communications via email through vrbo. The owner provides an extensive list of rules (most all things any decent renter would do house rule or no house rule) as well as a list of attractions and places to eat. The list would be helpful I'm sure for guests who are not familiar with St. Louis. All in all, a fine stay in a clean well equipped apartment conveniently located in a good neighborhood of St. Louis City.

Central location

The location was great! Very central to everything we wanted to do while in the area. The owners recommendations were great and we really enjoyed the places we did try. There was only 2 of us but there was plenty of room for more. Parking was a little tricky but we always found a spot nearby! We would stay here again. Thanks!

Great place, great price

The place was awesome. I brought a youth group of 13 and rented all four apartments in this building. Each apartment was clean, had awesomely comfortable beds, and a whole lot of room. Mike was easily accessible for anything we needed. If you're in St. Louis and need a place to stay this is a great option. Great neighborhood, close to everything.

Wonderful Stay in St Louis

My family and I stayed four days at this wonderful apartment in St. Louis. It was a great size for our family of four and centrally located to all the things we wanted to do. We found everything just as described in the listing. It was very clean and furnished very nicely. And most importantly, it was in a safe neighborhood. We had absolutely no problems while there nor complaints. We would definitely stay again when visiting the city. Thanks Mike for such great accommodations!

Perfect for our weekend getaway!

The place was perfect for me, my wife and son. We were all able to be together yet able to not be cramped up like you would be in a hotel room. Very clean. Also saw a previous post about the air conditioner not being able to keep the place cool. I’m a very hot natured person and it it stayed around 90-95 degrees out the whole time we were there, and never had a problem. Floors are a bit squeaky, which is to be expected in a building of that age. Overall would definitely recommend and likely to use if we come stay in STL again!

Meet me in St. Louie

Run, don’t walk—This is the PERFECT location for all that is St. Louis. Quiet, safe—CLEAN! Our two boys (ages 7 and 2) loved this apartment. There are games and a DVD player! Right around the corner from The Hill which has fab Italian food-right by the MO Botanical Gardens!! This property does not disappoint. We did run out of TP (ha!!) but it was our last night!! Onsite laundry was great-we did a load each night and are coming home with no dirty clothes (except the ones on our back!) This was our first VRBO experience and Mike had detailed information and everything was super easy! Thanks for a great stay! We left a little piece of our hearts there! <3 You will too.....

This property is very livable, clean and enjoyable. The owner kindly located a city map for us when we inquired and on 2 other occasions, immediately returned texts. We had no issues and that made for a very pleasant stay. We would return here if again in St Louis.

About the host

Hosted by Mike York

I have set my properties up to be self service for your convenience and privacy. Please contact me if you have any problems of any kind with the apartment, if the apartment is not to your satisfaction, if you can’t find something that you thought was provided with the apartment, if you need help working something inside the apartment, if another apartment is disturbing you, if you need tips on Saint Louis and/or you would just like to chat. I always enjoy meeting my guests and hearing their stories but also I know my guests are not here to meet me, and that is why you will not hear from me during your stay unless there is an emergency or maintenance issue. Many of my guests come and go, and I never even meet them. Should something go wrong with your stay, contact me and give me a chance to make it right. I take the care, cleanliness and operation of my property very seriously. I aim to please each and every guest with the best quality rental homes I can offer and I am constantly looking for ways to improve them. My goal is to provide a home that is safer, cleaner and cheaper than any hotel/motel in the area.

I am a one man operation; if you call, text or message me through the app messenger, you will always be directly contacting the owner of the whole apartment building. I always want my guests to have fun but I also want them to remember that this is a residential neighborhood and I do have neighbors. My apartments are exactly as advertised; if I make a change, I update the pictures and information immediately. Thank you for choosing my property for your stay in Saint Louis Missouri, I hope you enjoy your time here.

Sincerely

Mike York
Owner and Host

Why they chose this property

I bought this building because it is in a quiet, safe, and historic Southwest Gardens neighborhood. The centrality of the location allows you to drive, walk or bike easily around the city. This is a very safe neighborhood, I lived in this building from 2009 to 2019 with no problems. In the warmer months you will regularly see people out late at night running and/or walking the dog.

What makes this property unique

Location! The apartment is just one-block west of the Missouri Botanical Gardens and two-blocks north of Tower Grove Park. You can walk to several restaurants, shops, parks, the Missouri Botanical Gardens, grocery stores and so much more. Some of the close by neighborhoods that you can walk to include: South Grand, The Hill, Tower Grove South, Shaw, Central West End & The Grove. Also, you have easy freeway access to 64/40, 70, 55 and 44.
