Great apartment with fenced in back yard near Downtown, Soulard and Lafayette Park. The Convention center, Busch Stadium and Scottrade center are a quick 5 minute drive or skip the traffic and grab an Uber/Taxi. All the major Interstates are nearby with easy access to I-44, I-64/40 and I-55. You can get anywhere in St. Louis quickly and easily. We do not charge extra for pets.
The pictures were very misleading. Seemed as if they just threw furniture into an abandoned building. Walls and floors were in bad shape. The location was conveniently located near downtown and the highway.
The unit (one in a duplex) was fine. Both the place and the neighborhood could use a little polishing but it was clean and safe. Well suited for me and my traveling companion.
Great for the budget but could use some upgrades. Locks on front and back doors could be more secure. Couldn't get the door to the half bath to latch or stay closed and snagged socks on several loose floor boards. Over all, location worked well and the house was clean.
Property is not well maintained. Large amounts of plaster & drywall not intact; missing baseboards; stained and poorly patched ceiling. Rooms divided by off track pocket doors. Very small shower. Bathroom outlet not to code. Back step missing railing with metal protruding from lower storm door; old nasty rug in a pile outside. Questionable cleanliness of linen with bath towels missing. Some things you cannot just paint over. Regret not taking some photos. Would not stay here again.
We were very impressed with the location of this property and it's proximity to many things. It was just a very short drive to go anywhere we wanted. The keyless entry was great so we didn't have a key to worry about. The inside had this rustic charm, which is why it has a 4 star on cleanliness. It's just an older building and you can see the age but it's got character and charm. We were quite comfortable there. And even though the listing said it's pet friendly we did not see any evidence of pets ever being there. No smell or fur or anything. The a/c worked very well which was quite nice since it has recently been so hot. The bed was comfy. The kitchen had basic amenities although we didn't take advantage of that this time around. All in all, it was a great stay. We would take our kids there and even our furry grandbaby. There is a small fenced in yard in back that we also didn't use but could have. I really hope I'm doing it enough justice because it really was quite nice. And the bed was super comfy too.
Absolutely loved this place. Very unique in a nice area and within walking distance of some fun bars/restaurants. We felt very at home and the owner is so nice and responds quickly!
We were going to be downtown for multiple events and wanted a place to relax for in between locations. The host let us pick our door code to make it easy and everything in the home was as expected from the listing. Ended up meeting the host on checkout day and they were great people.
Very much enjoyed our stay at Robertâs place! Robert was very quick to respond to any questions we had! Convenient location, and our Maltipoo really enjoyed the fenced in back yard!
The best thing about our stay was the location. The home was neat and clean and roomy for the three of us. We were able to visit the market a very short distance away. The street is full of old homes that are wonderful to see. There is only on street parking.
Both my husband and myself loved the fenced in yard. It was so convenient for our dog. We found the bed in the primary very comfortable, ,(you have to like soft beds). The location was perfect for us, just 6 miles down Gravois to Afton, and hanging out in Soulard. Plus we just hopped on the interstate to go home to Wisconsin.
Good location, host responds very promptly!! House itself needs a lot of work!! Very old, rickety and neglected. Pricey for the condition of the property but served the purpose.
Overall this spot was great! Communication was such and efficient, getting to set our own door code before arrival! Space is roomie with some old build charm. My only comment is that we got in late and then light switches were a bit hard to find, one they weren't in obvious places, two they were painted the same color as the wall. Not enough to not be a 5 star stay for me, bit maybe new switch plates that aren't painted and/or floor in the dark tape?
Check in was a breeze and the host was awesome and very welcoming. His communication was great and very prompt, and he got us what we needed when requested without any issues. The property is an older home and was perfect for our family. The extra half bath was very convenient. Kids loved the Keurig and coffee that came with the rental. If you want to stay in a state of the art home, don't stay here. If you want a home in a nice neighborhood that is close to downtown St. Louis, but is low cost, then this is a place for you. We would stay again.
