We had everything we needed and it was closely located to lots of fun and family friendly activities!! My only thing is I wish I would have realized the King bedroom on the 2nd floor and the Queen bedroom on the 3rd floor are within the same room, but seperate from, the other 2 bedrooms showing on those floors. Host was amazing and house was clean and as pictured.

Great house and location

Perfect house for our stay In St Louis. Super clean, comfortable, plenty of space to spread out and the amenities (snacks, shampoo, soap, washer/dryer) gave it that extra touch. Beds were also very comfortable! Perfect location for everything we did during our stay; didn't have to drive more than 15-20 minutes to get anywhere! Would highly recommend to anyone coming into town!!

Benton Park Gem

We loved our stay in this Benton Park gem. Located at the end of a street, we were a short walk to several excellent restaurants and a wonderful ice cream shop (A Spoonful of Sugar) we visited each evening after dinner. Immaculately clean with plenty of space, this was a lovely base for our long weekend in St. Louis.

Perfect for Family or Group Getaway!

We had the perfect experience in this adorable St. Louis neighborhood. 4 adults and 4 kiddos. There are many local coffee shops and restaurants to walk to, but it is close enough to drive and easily get to other St. Louis attractions. It was a beautifully decorated home with amenities and sleeping arrangements for multiple guest needs, and the owner could not have been more helpful and welcoming to our needs. Will definitely stay here again! Above and beyond, I cannot recommend the excellent customer service we received from the host!

This was a lovely HUGE place to stay while we explored St. Louis. It’s centrally located to everything we wanted to see. Very quaint and upcoming neighborhood with restaurants within walking distance. Plenty of space and areas to gather. There was some severe weather during our stay and the host messaged us to make sure all was well and that we knew where to find flashlights. The backyard is huge and fenced in. Perfect for kids!

Amazing bachorlette weekend!

We loved this home! There was plenty of room for 7 of us for our girls weekend to celebrate my sister in law getting married! It was beautiful and clean. Its a semi quiet neighborhood for st. Louis. And the bavkyard is great to hang out in. I will say be warned its three stories so there are stairs. I don't recommend going down them wearing socks. The owner was great and left a detailed list of rules on the counter very easy to follow. I highly recommend this home.
