Cute little spot.

Smaller than pictures led me to believe. Was listed with hot tub and fire pit. Neither of those was found on site. No i didn’t speak with the host about it. Had other stuff to do. Location is great Parking is a 5/10 we were gone most of the time so it wasn't a issue for us but could be for someone whos in and out a lot. The expired and opened condiments in the fridge was a surprise. As well as jelly jars filled with OJ and Milk. I know this was done as a courtesy but pretty sure its also illegal to have opened containers

Updated cottage

It was a great cozy stay. The cottage is updated. The bed is a little soft and the area rug probably needs to be changed or a vinegar cleaning however , it was a great stay and the owner was very nice.

Perfect Location on The Hill

Cozy little cottage behind the owner’s house. Has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Owners were so friendly and very accommodating. We had coffee, fresh fruit and beverages waiting for us upon arrival. Clean linens and very comfy bed. Perfect location for anything you want to do at The Hill and very close to other attractions in STL.

Studio plus

It was a great studio with a deck. The bed was soft so for older folks, like us 😊 There is a futon no couch or chair. Kitchen and bathroom were good. WiFi would not work on deck which we like to sit outside. Everything was very clean and convenient. Restaurants everywhere in walking distance. Great neighborhood.
