Uncomfortably homey
It is homey and spacious however the homey part was a bit too homey. Too many personal items giving the vibe that you are staying in a home that’s very much lived in by the owners. Clothes stored visibly under the bed. We found two different unidentifiable pills laying about on a window ledge and on a book shelf. The upstairs bedrooms were hot and stuffy with just a window unit in the hallway and a couple of fans available. Beds are uncomfortable. The patio area didn’t feel available since the owners have parked their camper right in the middle and not in the back as in photo shown. The property has miscellaneous junk on it and the grass was very tall and overgrown on the property. No communication about check in until after I messaged my concerns the very night before I was to arrive. If you don’t mind feeling like you are living in somebody’s personal space while they stay in campers on site then this place will be alright for you. It was pretty clean with a nice kitchen besides not having enough toilet paper provided. The location is close to all the attractions and Cherokee street is near and really fun.

Quiet and comfy
Very nice and spacious property. Beautiful hardwood floors. Eclectic artwork. This is more of an adult home. The 3 bathrooms were nice to have. Shaded back yard with seating. Close to restaurants and activities. Overall I would stay again.

Thankfully Thanksgiving
This place was perfect to host turkey dinner for my family. It was important to be under one roof for this holiday and after being cancelled at the last minute by two other properties, this host was a prayer answered. Location is great and the home is cozy and warm. The pictures don’t do the place justice. It’s much more cool in person. We had everything we needed and more.
Thanks again

Probably not for families
The place was fine as far as accommodations and location near the Arch. The hosts do their jobs just fine. If your party is all adults, you should have no issues. However, if you are bringing kids, you should know this probably isn't the place for you. There are pornographic pictures in virtually every room. In the room my daughters stayed in, there was a pornographic picture in their bathroom right next to the light switch involving two men. Also, the lawn was out of control, which made it seem a little less safe. In summary, for adults, this is a good place to stay. With kids, I'd probably try a different option.

Quite and friendly neighborhood
The Nest was the perfect spot for our family of four. It was centrally located near the St Louis Zoo, Aquarium, and the Arch all the places we visited while we were in St. Louis. The Nest was the perfect, quite, place to come back to after a long day of sight seeing. Our hosts were very gracious and kind. We highly recommend staying at the Nest when you visit St. Louis. Thank you for the lovely stay.

Gem in Benton Park STL
My family of five including three kids age 6 - 12 visited for a spring break trip to STL. This home was full of character, calm & comfortable, and convenient to the sights of the city. We felt at home and appreciated the parking right in front of the house.

Fun stay
The house worked out great for our group! the price was perfect and the layout of the house allowed us to enjoy ourselves. Check in and check out were a breeze. We had a fuse issue and lights weren’t working in one room and the owner took care of it immediately. I would definitely stay here again.
The property was very clean! It was also located in a convenient location, hence why we chose the property. The Owner was very nice and easy to communicate with. He gave clear instructions on how to check out of the house and also let me know on how to check in as well. The rooms were comfortable and homy, which my group loved so much!
