Perfectly Situated

The place was clean and perfectly situated for our plans for the weekend. Very Hill charming. Also enough out of the traffic flow that it was easy to park. My only suggestion would be to let renters know where to find extra linens, towels and a broom. We needed them but didn’t find them till we were packing up.

The Hill

Location was great and clean. However, The walls are thin. We could hear the neighbors upstairs early in the morning.

Getaway on The Hill

We had a wonderful getaway in this sweet spot right on The Hill! What a beautiful place in this friendly and safe neighborhood. We enjoyed mornings with the bakery across the street and the wonderful food and people of The Hill! This was a comfortable and beautifully renovated space in the middle of it all and in walking distance and short driving distance to some great attractions both on The Hill and in greater St. Louis.

Weekend stay

I secured this reservation for my parents, who were visiting for the weekend from out of town. They have stayed in a few other rental locations within the neighborhood and this VRBO has been their favorite so far. Everything was as described and pictured. You can hear the upstairs guests some, but it was no problem for them. Easy communication with property manager and clear, simple instructions for check-in/out. All was great!

Disappointed

The shower never got hot. My husband and I would have liked the issue fixed or compensated in some way but the it didn't happen during our 3 night stay.There was not any hospitality snacks nor water bottles. It felt very hotel like and not the desired, homey, B&B experience that we love.
