Great home

We were looking for a home rather than apt/condo, in a good neighbor. This home worked out great. Especially liked the professionalism in the management… check in instructions, check out instructions, details on amenities, etc. This was our first Vrbo rental, and all necessary information was readily available. Will be using this home on our next STL trip.

Wonderful stay in beautiful neighborhood

Our fourth time staying with this owner; first time in this restored two-story place in Dogtown. Interior of home completely redone with updated kitchen and bath. Comfortable beds/pillows, nice backyard, parking out front on street. Six-minute to lively downtown. Ashley recommended Southwest Diner for breakfast; it didn’t disappoint. Owners were easily accessible and provided prompt replies. Keypad on front door was easy to operate. If we didn’t eat out each meal in our 2-night stay, the kitchen was well-stocked with cooking pans/utensils. Walk to Forest Park/St Louis Zoo was 5 minutes. We'll be back!!

Quick weekend family trip

We absolutely loved the property & neighborhood. A+ for cleanliness for sure! My kids (6 & 3) complained about the squeaky floors because they couldn’t romp & we didn’t want them disturbing the neighbors but other than that no one complained! The hosts were quick to respond when needed & very friendly! The property was in a perfect location for a day at the zoo & centrally located to other top attractions as well. We definitely recommend booking!

Great Location and Value!

My son and I stayed here for three nights to see the city attractions and attend a show. The property was on a quiet street in a perfect location near the zoo and Forest Park. It's also close to the highways. The unit had everything we needed and was comfortable. I would stay again without hesitation!

Adorable property that is close to everything

Our group consisted of two moms and our two young daughters. The hosts worked with us to let us check in early when we got to town early, which was very much appreciated. The house was clean and comfortable and well-appointed. We would definitely stay again!

Very nice 2 BR house convenient to Dog Town restaurants, “The Hill”, and the Zoo. Easy access to I-64 to get downtown St. Louis in minutes. Upscale furnishing throughout and well stocked.

Dogtown Gem

This was the perfect place for us to stay while visiting family in St Louis. The place was extremely clean and the neighborhood was quiet and safe. It was walking distance to the cute little downtown of Dogtown with a few restaurants, a grocery store and an ice cream shop. We could walk and bike into Forest Park. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen had all we needed to make a few meals and the washer and dryer came in handy to wash a load before we left for home. We loved our stay and would definitely love to stay again!

We loved this beautiful 2-bedroom home in Dogtown. Clean, comfortable, well-equipped, quiet, it really had everything we could ask for. It is near a great BBQ restaurant and a brewery, so we were set. We enjoyed it very much and would recommend this to anyone going to St. Louis. It was our first visit there and we had a great time!

Perfect location for STL Zoo

Could not ask for a better location in St. Louis if the Zoo is part of your plans as it is <10 min walk. Turtle park is nearby as well as several family friendly restaurants. The house was exceptionally clean and well cared for. Neighborhood is quiet and safe. Planning to stay here again.
