Central location-King + Queen Beds-Steps to Metrolink & Off-Street Parking
Book your 5-star stay in this cozy second floor 2 bedroom/1 bath suite in the desirable DeBaliviere neighborhood. This vacation rental is only a 2 block walk from Forest Park & its Metrolink train stop, your group will have access to everything the city has to offer. This 100 year-old historic home is only blocks from Forest Park, the site of the 1904 World's Fair Exposition and Summer Olympics.
UPDATED May 30, 2025: Our neighborhood was hit with the May 16th tornado which was 1 mile wide and 23 miles long. Although many homes along its path were devastated, the buildings along our street mainly suffered roof damage, broken windows and uprooted trees. The city has cleaned most of that up and the area is getting back to normalcy. Our building received minimal damage and has been fully occupied.
"Suites in the Lou" offers 6 private furnished rental suites in one building - great for a large group which may want to all stay in one place.

Great Location!
I stayed here with my son and daughter to transition them to college at WashU.
Easy access to Metro, and Forest Park - which is a beautiful location. Very reasonable prices, especially given rates at nearby stays. Comfortable beds, great kitchen and a nice sitting room to chill out in at the end of the day. Apartment has A/C which was a blessing during the hot St Louis summer! Will try to stay here in the future for any WashU needs!
The apartment worked well for our family, was clean, and adequately stocked with supplies. Unfortunately, there was a lot of rain during our stay, so walking to the Delmar loop wasn't an option, and there weren't many restaurants or places to shop less than a mile away. Also, it was too early in the season for the trolley. The Metrolink was close-by, so we were able to get downtown easily.

Spacious and comfortable stay near WashU
This is a 2bedroom 1bathroom apartment, with everything necessary. The room is spacious with 2 king size beds. Kitchen and bathroom are very clean. The only drawback is the noise of air conditioner.

Excellent host, property in good (not great) condition
Libby was incredibly well organized, we received excellent information to help with arrival, during our stay, and on leaving. The property itself was clean, well equipped, and beds were very comfortable although the pull-out couch mattress was so thin you could feel the springs through it. It's ok for a child or unfussy adult! All in all it was great for a few nights,
Really cute apartment in a great part of town! Libby was wonderful, communicated quickly, check-in/out process was smooth and easy. It could use a few more/nicer kitchen items, pots/pans. But I like to cook and stayed almost two weeks, so that may be moot for most guests. Loved the location, quick access to the park, CWE, Clayton, loop, downtown, etc. And do yourself a favor and get the chicken “tenders” from Ocean Grill around the corner! The 6-piece tenders is basically an entire chicken and some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had :)

Wonderful!
Our two bedroom apartment in the Suites In The Lou was perfect for our needs. It was wonderfully laid out, well decorated and well stocked. It was a very well-maintained property, clearly managed with great care. The beds were comfortable and there was almost no street noise. It was perfectly located and easy to access. The parking lot in the back was a great help and very easy to manage. Libby was very communicative and clear with her instructions before our stay, and very responsive with our one question during our stay. We highly recommend Suites In The Lou and will definitely be back for another stay!
We greatly enjoyed our apartment, and it helped us have a wonderful time in the great city of St. Louis. It is nestled in a clean, quiet neighborhood, just across from Forest Park where we spent some of our time. Parking is safe and convenient. The space felt cozy, but also roomy enough for the four of us not get in each other's hair. Beds and furniture were comfortable. The air system might sound a little loud in one of the bedrooms if you're a light sleeper. The kitchen was useful for us to prepare many of our meals, though if we stayed longer I would find it a little lacking in food prep utensils. It is renovated nicely and maintains old row-house charm. Overall we would be happy to come back to stay at Suites in the Lou!
Having a full kitchen and dining space was key as we cooked all breakfasts and several dinners during a 5 day stay with 3 adults. We experienced huge swings in weather (53F one morning and 12F the next) and during hot days the rooms were cool and during the freezing days, the older building was drafty but central heating combined with space heaters made it comfortable. The rental is conveniently located within walking distance to world class parks, museums, and MetroLink train to downtown St. Louis. A couples miles away by car is the Delmar Loop with lots of interesting shops (e.g., Vintage Vinyl) and restaurants (e.g., Corner 17). Libby is proactive and attentive host - she manages the property like a pro, making our stay feel like we were cared for and the reason we would return to one of their properties.
Although a bit cozy for 6 people and the couch bed is pretty awful, if you only had 2-4 people, it’s a very nice place to stay. Very convenient to tourist attractions and food. We enjoyed our stay.
The apartment was comfortable and nicely furnished. It was close to all of the major downtown attractions in downtown St. Louis, which made it very convenient.

A Comfortable Suite in the CIty
A comfortable city suite, minutes away from Forest Park, MetroLink, and the Delmar Loop Trolley. The amenities are excellent and the host is very responsive and helpful.
I took my teenage boy for his bday to tour the MLB stadium. He brought a friend and the stay was wonderful! The house was clean and I loved all the windows. We had hot showers and good coffee available. I felt safe with the gated parking too. Definitely be back!
My three adult children and myself came to ST Louis for a family wedding - the condo was a mile from the wedding and extremely easy access to the metro link which we used throughout the weekend ! The ac worked great and the beds are very comfortable! The pictures are exactly what the condo looks like and it was VERY clean! Questions were answered quickly and very nice to speak too!!
The neighborhood included 3 story brick apartment buildings with families walking their dogs and plenty of parking. We felt safe going for a walk and parking our car along the street. Check in was super simple and the gated parking available after check in made getting in and out easy. We had everything we needed even some bonus items like fans and extra sheets/blankets. Communication was great! We’d definitely stay again.
We stayed here and the place is a little different then we are used to. We usually stay in a more modern and updated home or hotel however, for the price and the location this was a good stay. It does state in the description that it is a 100 year old home. I didn’t notice that until after we were there, but the host was very accommodating and friendly and checked on us several times. Parking wasn’t an issue and the location was close to everything you needed to access. I do wish there was other televisions in the bedrooms and possibly a place to sit outside, but we enjoyed the stay.
