Great Location and Apartment

We enjoyed our stay and we will definitely book here again when we come back to St Louis! The apartment had all the necessities and it was super clean. The location near the Botanical Garden and Tower Grove Park is great for a run or walk. World Fair Donut Shop is walking distance-- our daughter loved that! Overall this is a convenient location to drive to all the sights.

Cozy, comfortable and convenient.

It was just like the pictures and description. It was in a quiet neighborhood, yet conveniently near most of the major attractions. We rode our bikes around the nearby park and to the zoo. Several good, local restaurants located within a very short distance. It was the perfect size for me, my wife and our daughter.

Everything You Need In a Perfect Location

This is really a terrific way to see St. Louis. We were able to walk to the Botanic Garden & the craft beer fest at Tower Grove. Drove 5 minutes to a delicious dinner on the Hill and another 10 to trek around the Central West End. The apartment was a wonderful retreat to come home to after several fun filled days.

Quiet Gem

Stayed several days. Quiet neighborhood. Street parking, but was able to park right out front each day. Apartment had been recently updated - new furniture, curtains, towels, etc. Roku TV, cable, etc. reasonably priced - would stay here again.

This is our second time staying at this property and we were very happy with our stay (again). Mike communicates everything you need to know up front. The apartment is clean, neat, and comfortable. The location is very convenient for us as we visit family and the neighborhood is very nice. Also, parking is easy. Thanks again. We will very likely stay here again next time we visit!

About the host

Hosted by Mike York

Host profile image
I bought this historic property in 2010 and have been working to upgrade it over the years. I was born and raised in the St. Louis area and enjoy getting out and about in the city by foot, bike and car. Most of my vacations are spent in the mountains either skiing or down-hill mountain biking. I prefer using VRBO for my vacations and have used my experiences to help shape my own. Feel free to ask me for recommendations of good local eats and key attractions on your visit.

Why they chose this property

I bought this building because it is in a quiet, safe, and historic neighborhood. The centrality of the location allows you to drive, walk or bike easily around the city.

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location. The apartment is just one-block west of the Missouri Botanical Gardens and three-blocks north of Tower Grove Park. You can walk to several restaurants, shops, parks, the Missouri Botanical Gardens, grocery stores and so much more. Some of the close by neighborhoods that you can walk or bike to include: South Grand, The Hill, Tower Grove South, Shaw, Central West End & The Grove. Also, you have easy freeway access to 64/40, 70, 55 and 44.
