Cute house!!

The house and host were amazing!! The house was so cute and clean and had everything we needed! Check in and out was easy. The host responded to us right away and even let us check in a little early since we arrived early. The location was not what we had imagined. The first night there were multiple gun shots and shell casings in front of the house and every night there were people walking up and down the street being super loud at all hours of the night.

This was a good stay overall. An older house with some minor AC issues, but really just related to the house’s age. Overall comfortable beds and a good experience. Our only “heads up” we would offer is research the neighborhood first. When I read “historic” I thought old houses that had to be kept up to maintain a historical landmark status. Nope. This area is abandoned houses and businesses with boarded windows and looks a bit sketchy. We felt decently safe in the end, but my wife and kids would have preferred a different area if possible.

The location is a NO

Although this property and host was nice, the location of this house is a NO. I was not diligent in researching the area, and I implore you to be if you are considering staying here.The crime rate of Hyde Park is more than 450% higher than the national average, 750% higher for violent crimes (according to the FBI in 2024).Timeline of the events that occurred the night we stayed here: 10:00 pm Multiple gun shots11:00 pm More gun shots 1:00 am More gun shots and fireworks 10:00 pm - 12:00 am Helicopter flying over the neighborhood 11:00 pm - 1:00 am Street racing 2:42 am Smoke detector goes off for no reasonDog barking across the street Quiet hours are after 10:00 pm, per the hosts informational booklet. My husband was up the entire night to ensure we were safe. When I messaged the host about these events, she stated that “everyone’s definition of safety was different.” Although I do agree with this statement, gun shots do not make anyone feel safe. Again, I implore you to do your own research about this location before choosing to stay here.

Our St Louis stat

We had a very unconventional stay because tornados had come in the evening of our 1st night and power was out. The host did everything they could to make sure we were as comfortable as possible. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. We were close by everything we wanted to do and overall had a great stay. We would stay here again any time we are in the area.

Quick Stop in STL

We stayed here for just one night on our way to town. Melissa was very responsive to all messages. The smoke detector had a low battery alarm that was beeping, and within 15 minutes, Michael arrived to fix it.

100+ year old three story

We read the owners description of an area in urban revitalization...some people may not walk at night. I skimmed. The neighborhood left lots to be desired. However, the house had plenty of room for 2 families. FYI the 3rd story master is 34 stairs up. The only thing we would have liked is a table big enough for the number of beds it slept.There was just a small table for 4. In case you need to plug more than two appliances in, maybe ask to leave basement open. The homeowner had to come reset the breaker because we popped the fuses with 3 pizza pizazz, but she came out and we appreciated it. Check in was fine, found door unlocked from cleaning service, and check out is at 10 which felt very rushed with kids when most places are 11 or 12. Close to the City Museum amd Hidden Valley. Next time I'll probably look over the bridge. House and management were great.
