Mingle at spacious, street-side patios next to antique stores where you can create a stained glass window or scented body oil.

Book lovers will enjoy visiting the Writer’s Corner, which features metal busts of T.S. Eliot, Tennessee Williams, and Kate Chopin, all literary greats who hail from the neighborhood.

Visit the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis (est. 1914) on Lindell Boulevard and tour the largest collection of mosaics in the world, located downstairs at the Mosaic Museum.
Then bike, jog or walk along the paved paths winding through Forest Park, stopping along the way to visit the St. Louis Zoo.

Pick up some supplies at Whole Foods, Straub's, and Schnucks supermarkets close to the house or head into the city for dinner just a quick 5 minute drive from downtown St. Louis.

Getting Around:
The best way to get around is by car with most highways conveniently nearby. You can also use the Metrolink light rail system to get to many major attractions. Metro's efficient light rail system offers stops throughout the city.

St. Louis also has both UBER and Lyft available. You'll also see lots of Lime and Bird electric scooters throughout the city, so you can zoom wherever you'd like!

Charming
We had a great stay! The house is big and cozy. The only feedback is that we had a little bit of a hard time figuring out that the garage is behind the house and you get to it from the ally, but after we figured that out it was smooth from there.

St Louis Wedding
The location was great, and the property had plenty of room for 6 friends to stay with everyone having their own bed and access to a bathroom. The beds were very comfortable, the carpets had a few stains and probably needed to be cleaned but overall was a great place to rent and very close to Forest Park and all that has to offer plus all of the restaurants that are located in that area. We used to metro to get to and from the airport and that was a very easy walk even with our luggage. We enjoyed our stay very much and they were very accommodating when we asked for a later checkout because all of our flights back were late afternoon. I would definitely stay again.

great old house with lots of space for all. each bedroom with its own bath. kitchen shows wear but is functional. we were given wrong access code and had to wait on front porch in heat until we reached management and got the right one. Great location but house was next to a very large low income housing tower. Many car alarms and noises were heard all day and night.

Great location
We picked the house because the location was close to the church where the wedding was being held. The bonus was the ease in getting to the attractions of St Louis we wanted to see! House was roomy and comfortable. Only suggestion would be to have the upstairs AC on as it took most of the night to get the bedrooms comforable for sleeping.

Beautiful home, close to so much
This was a last minute booking that really paid back in location, charm, and discovery. I did not realize how close we were to do much wonderful stuff. Dining, shopping, arts, architecture, history! Right around the corner from tons of wonderful things for everyone. The basilica is blocks away (worth the time to see), fine dining that will blow your mind (brasserie and many others), best ice cream on the planet (jeni's for the win), and many, many shops to wander through. Plus forest park is blocks away, easy to get to, and always something to discover for the kids. The house was clean and ready to be lived in. No complaints at all. Very lovely home, kitchen is fantastic, lots of room everywhere.
