The house was in a beautiful historic neighborhood. For our family, maybe especially me, having only one bathroom located on the main floor while bedrooms were up 16 steep stairs was the only drawback. It was not clear in the photos where the bathroom was located. Part of the charm of a 100 year plus home. Selected this property 95% based on location between Lindenwood and downtown. Figured I could handle the stairs for 2 days.

This was our third year staying a week here with our pup to visit our son at Lindenwood. We enjoy the location and size of the living room. As well as the washer/dryer and dishwasher. As not all historic VRBO in St. Charles offer this. It is a perfect location for everything and our pup enjoys his neighborhood walks.

Great all around. Honestly, the main floor felt more spacious than the pictures can show.Location perfect for us, super close to everything but quiet neighborhood. The combined kuerig / full-pot coffee maker came in useful for us. We would definitely stay here again.Kitchen better stocled than most.

Check-in was easy enough. The parking pad that's stated to hold 4 vehicles (2 for each unit) may hold 4 if you don't open the doors. So, I wouldn't plan on having more than 1 vehicle back there (for 1 rental unit).The area was nice, I never felt like I was in a bad area.Most of the pictures, with the exception of the couch, did not match what was actually in the unit.I went out one morning and came back to a truck parked in the parking pad, taking up both spots. Two men were painting the exterior of the unit, which included climbing on the roof (right outside the bedroom windows). When they were painting at the back door, they were looking directly at me while i was inside. The back door has a window with no curtain (even though the pics showed a curtain there). It was an extremely uncomfortable situation and we weren't even notified that anyone would be there.I didn't like that the big kitchen window had no coverings and the back door window, as stated previously, had no coverings.Unfortunately, the unit attached to ours was being rented by someone with multiple dogs that would go on a barking spree and then you'd hear her yelling at them. So, they're definitely not sound proof.Even though the bedrooms were upstairs and would get warm, there's a window unit that more than effectively cooled them off.Overall, it's not a bad place to stay but it doesn't meet our needs so we would not return.

Great experience overall

Overall great experience. For those who make frequent bathroom visits in the middle of the night, it's important to know the bathroom is on the bottom floor and bedrooms are on the second floor, with a pretty hefty climb. That was the only downside but not something that can be controlled by the property manager.
