Disliked: Cleanliness
Location was great. We were able to walk to many restaurants,Tower Grove Park, and Missouri Botanical Gardens. However, the lighting in the apartment was quite dim, the floors were obviously not thoroughly cleaned, and two of the windows were filthy. We could barely see out the front picture window due to the grime. Diem did offer to have cleaners come by to clean the floors but we declined as we had already unpacked and didn’t have time to sit around waiting. Also, we would have appreciated a dresser in the main bedroom. Upstairs tenants were loud and often smoking on the small front porch. As smoking and vaping are not permitted in both apartments, this was an unwelcome experience for us.

Great location!

Cool neighboorhood, close to Botanical Garden and restaurants. Check in and out was simple, good communication with the owner. The beds could use some attention, the twin was rock hard and the queen seemed like an air mattress that needed to be reinflated. Might want to check the bathtub drain, it's pretty slow. It would be a nice touch to add some coffee and guest shampoo and/or soap. Clean and easy to find, on street parking was plentiful.

Good location

It was in an amazing location. Most places that we went were within 10 minutes. The communication with the hosts was great and they were quick to reply to any messages. It was very clean and comfortable. The only negatives that I have were that there were steep steps up to it, which was fine for us, but it was not put in the description. Also, we stayed in the downstairs unit and we had people stomping, running, and yelling for most of the day. It was a quiet neighbourhood though and things settled down at night with the upstairs neighbours.

Cute, Neighborhood Spot

The place was easy to get into and was exactly as described. We enjoyed staying in the neighborhood and stopped at several nearby restaurants and cafes: Sasha's Wine Bar (lovely outdoor patio), Damn Fine Hand Pies (so yummy that we went twice), Fiddlehead Fern Cafe (coffee shop at the end of the block). The mid-century modern decor was nice, but the couches aren't exactly ones to sink into. That and the not super strong water pressure would be my only critiques. Overall, a great place to stay in STL that is centrally located to anything you'd want to see. We had a lovely Spring Break.
