Great and Easy Stay

The property itself was well maintained. I found the decorations to be fun and unique as well! Tim and Beverly were both helpful, friendly, and accommodating. For the location, the price is also highly reasonable. I would recommend this location to friends and family if they were ever visiting St. Louis.

Great deal!

My teen and I just needed a place to chill on our two night trip to see the sights. This place is a great location if you don't want to drive in downtown St.Louis as there is a rail stop (with parking) just a couple blocks away. We rode the rail in and also used it to get around downtown. After a rainy sight seeing trip, the space was nice and cozy.

Was all excited for this stay in St Louis but disappointed. Not for me, the house rules are ridiculous for a single traveler this place creeped me out, Beverly is home all the time, watching you, it’s creepy and reports back to her husband, you hear everything your in there basement with all the owners personal stuff, they were doing there laundry when i arrived, knock on the door Friday at 10 pm to shut off the water heater, i was very uncomfortable they have access to the space at anytime, the decor is the owner personal stuff, clutter and dirty the bathroom gross smells, the quiet hours are untrainable considering you’re traveling to site see, and might get back late i got a threat to be evicted for having the tv on all night to help myself sleep it was too loud, it was to have background noise! The door programming lock was completely a joke so you don't lock your door, its the house door, your belongings are not Secure enough it’s weird! I have been traveling for years and have never been threatened i didn’t relax at all in this place! Would Not recommend unreasonable host! Tim and Beverly shouldn't be hosting! Good luck with these people come off nice but then….. you get threatened thank goodness i only stayed 3 days

Cozy oasis near Webster Campus

Cool clean and comfy stay. This is a single room in the basement of a single family home with its own entrance at the back of the house, off street parking right out front. Fewer than ten minutes drive to Opera Theater St. Louis’s festival playhouse.

Great stay close to WashU

We planned this visit to St. Louis for our daughter’s college graduation at WashU. Our son decided to join us, and our hosts were very understanding and accommodating about this change of plans. The hosts, Tim and Beberly, were exceedingly friendly in making sure that any needs were met. They made us feel very welcome. They added things like sweets and cold water that made it nice. Kept lots of things that travelers need. Well thought out. Wonderful hideaway in St. Louis County with central location. Great owners and very communicative people. We hope to find them here forever and we would like to come back, again. Thank you Tim and Beverly!

Beverly and Tim were great hosts! The place is super cute, clean, and comfy. Very close to dining options and touristic places. I went with my partner to ser the Eclipse, but we were also able to walk around Saint Louis and know more about the city. If we'll come back to St. Louis, we'll definitely be in touch with then again. Very happy to have stayed there :)

We chose this property for its excellent location, a very short walk from the Shrewsbury train station. Our experience with the St. Louis mass transit system was very positive. We were so happy not to rent a car! Our hosts were very accommodating, letting us leave our luggage for several hours after checking out.

Lovely spot

I was in St Louis to look after my elderly mother. Tim and Beverly could not have been more welcoming. They were so kind, even sweeping my car after it snowed. The cozy basement unit was warm and had enough blankets even during the recent below 0 weather. A great option for a traveller on a budget!
