My wife and I were in town to see family. The location was great with the park across the street and close by our family. The home is very spacious and comfortable and clean. We both would stay here again in the future.

Perfect location, easy check-in, lovely time
I live near this property in St. Louis Hills and booked it for my friends coming to visit from England. It was perfect! Susan's communication was excellent, check-in directions were clear and the space was large, bright and comfortable. My friends enjoyed having their own space and absolutely loved walking through Francis Park. And I loved having them close. I will be booking this property again whenever I have family or friends visit. I highly recommend!!

Cute, traditional St. Louis style home. We had a family member with us who had just had hip surgery, and we were unaware of the amount of stairs there were, but he managed to slowly navigate up and down safely. The rooms were sufficient for what we needed. We brought a queen size air mattress for the kids and were able to put it in the sunroom off of the bedrooms without much trouble. Overall, a cute home next to a nice park and within a short distance of family friendly activities.

Great location, comfortable place
This apartment was spacious and cozy with multiple places to sit to eat and visit and enjoy the view of Francis Park. It is in a Lovely neighborhood and the host is very responsive. The WiFi is not very good- weak signal but that’s the only criticism.

Great St Louis Location
The location of this property is in a very nice (safe) neighborhood and it is centrally located to get to the most popular St Louis activities in a short time. The beds are comfortable and there's plenty of seating for a group. The listing is accurate. We will stay here again!

Wonderful Experience!
The property is charming, spacious with 2 gathering areas and 2 darling little reading nooks. The kitchen was well supplied. It’s a great location in a beautiful old neighborhood, very walkable and overlooks a wonderful park. Parking always available right out front. It was warm and cozy. Our delightful host was available to answer questions. We will be returning to St Louis and hopefully can stay here again.
