This property was great. It is as pictured in the listing if not better. Very clean and neat. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need. Washer and dryer. 3 full bathrooms, so my husband and I were able to have our own bathroom and I was able to relax and soak in the tub at the end of the day.The most comfortable bed. My husband and I went to visit our son who is attending law school and was in great proximity to where he was staying. We also brought our little dog and was able to walk the neighborhood. There is also a cute little donut/coffe shop in walking distance from the property. I will definitely be booking this property again on our next visit.

Our stay at the Modern Downtown Getaway was wonderful. We had trouble checking into the property (our fault) but the property owner was very responsive and helpful. The property was very clean and worked well for our family of four plus a small dog. We loved the neighborhood and felt very safe walking around at night. The older townhome was rehabbed beautifully. Great kitchen and three lovely bathrooms.

Super comfy

This VRBO having 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, accommodated 3 couples and a 1 year old perfectly. It was clean, well stocked with necessities and in a perfect location in the city.We were able to walk to Missouri Botanical Garden, the farmer’s market at Tower Grove Park and several restaurants. I would recommend to anyone and absolutely would stay here again!!

The ONLY two things I disliked about this property were the towels (they were a little rough, definitely basic hotel type towels) and the parking. The neighbor had a box truck and blocked the majority of spots with it. Other than that, it was super clean, beds were comfortable, and spacious enough for my little family! Would 10/10 stay again!

Spacious home

Our family used this home for Thanksgiving. The kitchen is spacious and is very well stocked for cooking. The large dining table allowed our family of 12 to gather around the table. There was room in the dining room to bring the kitchen table in for extra seating. It was very cold during our visit, but the home was very comfortable. It wasn’t drafty like older homes can be. The beds we comfortable and perfect for those of us that slept there. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Awesome Property in a convenient location

What a great house for a friend gathering. We were able to walk the neighborhood for things to do as well as places to eat. Convenient place to get to anywhere. We enjoyed the neighborhood framers market and the Botanical Gardens (both walkable from the VRBO). We also took in a Cards game and enjoyed City Museum!!! Highly recommend!!! Host was very friendly and available.

A great place to stay!

We were very happy to see that the description in the listing was fully accurate. The decor is tasteful and appropriate. It is a great central location - 10-15 minute drive to most tourist sites - and some locations within walking distance. We walked to/from dinner several days during our stay. Distance to very nice places was .5 to 1 mile (which we didn't mind) and others were just a quick drive away. (We highly recommend Pho Long and Sauce on the Side. Both less than a mile away.) Parking was fine; we were always able to find a space nearby (right in front or less than half a block). It is on-street parking, but as long as you have some skill with parallel parking, you'll be fine. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of this home. We've stayed in several places where, if you walk around barefoot, there is grit/dirt on the floors. Not here! The mattresses were firm (just the right amount) and very comfortable; as all of our group commented. The kitchen had almost every dish or appliance you might want and they all worked well. If you are traveling to STL and would like a nice, clean place to stay, in a central location, this is it! Should we decide to return to STL, we will try to book here first! p.s. We didn't use the backyard or grill so we can't comment on those items. Mostly, we used it as a place to sleep and eat breakfast together. However, given our general experience, I would expect they are also excellent. Ugh! Character limit...
