Would rent this property again. Very clean and comfortable! Communication was great and had quick replies. Only input is there are only mirrors in the bathroom so would bring small table mirror to get ready if lots of people are getting ready at once. We absolutely loved our stay and I highly recommend renting this house.

Spring Break in St. Louis

We had a great stay in St. Louis! This location was perfect for us- we walked to the zoo, to get coffee at Sweet Em’s, and to Forest Park a few times, and were just a 10-15 minute drive from anywhere else we wanted to go! So many fun things for young kids to do here! The house was clean and spacious for our family of 5. We had everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay!

Great dog-friendly rental, quiet neighborhood, convenient location

I chose this house for my family's spring break trip to St. Louis so that our dog could come along. It was great for him having the fenced yard and we really enjoyed the house and location. Weather wasn't great so we didn't walk anywhere, but the drive to Forest Park and the zoo/Science Museum was quite short, and the drive to the arch and other downtown tourist attractions wasn't much longer. The house is well-appointed and lovely, beds are comfy, plenty of space, nice kitchen, and attentive hosts. We would definitely stay again!
