You'll fall in love with our newly renovated 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom apartment, complete with high speed fiber internet, free washer & dryer, and off-street parking. Not to mention the epic playground and play kitchen for the little ones. This 1st floor cozy apartment is centrally located to many St. Louis attractions. Only a few minutes from Highway 44 and just a block from the Botanical Gardens. Close to Forest Park, The Arch, Convention Center, Busch Stadium, America's Dome, Tower Grove Park, WashU, SLU, The Hill, The Grove, Forest Park, South Grand Food District, and more. Families, singles, couples & business travelers will all enjoy this gorgeous space and the extra amenities.

The Space:
Get the best of both worlds at this wonderful apartment! Choose to stay here and you’ll get the crisp, clean, fancy hotel feeling while being able to experience life in one of the best communities in St. Louis (while being close to practically EVERYTHING.) The home is cleaned and sanitized after every stay with detailed dusting. The Vacation Home contains a heavy duty air purifier to increase the safety of all guests.

This first floor apartment has a clean stylish appeal and is nestled in a lovely neighborhood with beautiful, mature trees. You will LOVE the spacious living room with its comfortable and generous seating plus futon for extra sleeping. The large dining room table with seating for 8 is perfect for a group dinner or business meeting. The fully stocked kitchen features granite counter tops, espresso machine, drip coffee, tea, spices, cooking ware (Pots, Pans, etc), dining ware (wine glasses, coffee mugs, children's cups, plates, and silverware, etc), microwave, toaster, dishwasher, stove, and fridge. The modern bathroom includes a shower as well as a bathtub for a relaxing bubble bath or a great space to bath the kids. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine or BBQing on the large gas grill on the back porch, with views of the beautiful trees and backyard garden.

Location:
Location is everything! This Vacation Home is near Downtown Saint Louis and Forest Park and walkable to Tower Grove Park and the Botanical Gardens. You’ll love the mature trees and scenic views. The neighborhood is very walkable.

I include a welcome manual with lots of great Saint Louis attractions. I LOVE Saint Louis and want to share that joy with you. If you have specific interests, let me know and I will point you in the right direction. Saint Louis has so much to offer!

Traveling with Children?
The space is GREAT for kids. We are parents of young children and understand the importance of safety and convenience. The entire apartment is setup with this in mind: all outlets are covered and the home is free of dangerous or breakable items. We also include a pack n play with mattress and fitted sheet, high chair, booster seat, baby monitors, play mat, infant bouncy seat, chalk and chalkboard walls, coloring and crafting tools for kids, single and double jogging strollers, and a bunch of toys. (Something you need not listed, just ask! But don't wait too long, if it takes ordering and installing I'll need a heads up).

Suffer From Allergies? This Vacation Home comes with a heavy duty Air Purifier and I ensure that the filters are changed regularly not only on the Air Purifier but on the home's furnace system as well. Also, each time guests stay the home is exceptionally cleaned and disinfected along with detailed dusting each and every time.

Traveling with Pets?
The space is pet friendly. Please note that there will be a $60 dollar pet fee. You are responsible for picking up dog poop in the backyard (bags supplied by us), and we ask that you refrain from having pets on the furniture and to give your dog a bath before your trip.

The entire first floor apartment, back porch, and one parking spot in the back of the home is for your personal use. You will have your own personal washer and dryer, which are located in the basement of the home.

Great for a family with young kids

We stayed for a week as a family and loved the location. The house was clean and the hosts are very responsive. The neighbors are very friendly. It was great to sit on the back porch and let the kids play after a day of adventures.

Good for families.

The location of the property was very convenient, all of our destinations were within a 10 minute drive. The kids loved the playground and the toys that were stocked in the home. The binder was very helpful in finding local food and conveniences. Would stay again!

Quiet little stay in the city

The property was exactly as pictured/described in the listing. The house had a lot of nice touches that made it feel very homey. After a day on the road we had lots of room to spread out and the kids enjoyed the toys inside and the play equipment outside. The neighborhood was very quiet and felt very safe. Sara was quick to ask if we had any problems and offered a huge list of things to do in the area.

If you’re traveling with little ones, this is the place to be. They’ve got everything you could need, so you can travel light. The neighborhood felt very safe, and it’s very close to all St. Louis has to offer. We would definitely stay here again.

Fabulous

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at this condo with our 3 kids aged 7,6, and 3! The kids loved their sleeping options, having a TV in their rooms, and their own personal playground! The condo has all that you could possibly want and need. It’s spacious, clean, and has lovely updates. The location is second to none, near everything we wanted to do with the kids. We will be back! Thank you all!

Weekend stay for event in Forest Park

This rental was in the perfect location for access to our event in Forest Park. We had 4 adults & 3 children in our group and had plenty of room. The indoor and outdoor seating created ample room for gathering, eating and visiting. The 1 bathroom wasnt an issue and there was ample hot water for 4 showers in less than an hour. This host was readily accessible for messages and provided all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay (shampoo, body wash, lots of towels, kitchen essentials). The neighborhood was quiet and had ample parking. We would Definitely consider renting this property again.

Fantastic Family-based property

Wow! We loved staying here. Everything was very clean and accessible. Our kids spent hours playing in the playset in the backyard. We don't have an infant, but the property had everthing we would have needed. The beds were comfortable. The dining table was larger than I thought too, which was a nice surprise. Easy walk to the Botanic Gardens and drivable to Forest Park. Strollers and bikes too. Great experience.

great kid-friendly 3BR

We had a wonderful stay here. This cute home housed me and my wife, our 3 children, and my in-laws for 6 days, and no one went crazy! Sara has done a great job with details for this property. There were several coffee and espresso options, with a supply of ground coffee and espresso. There were plenty of ice trays, and my favorite - giant 2 inch ice molds for cocktails...or kids wanting a giant ice ball. The house comes stocked with a few games, books, and playsets (magnatiles, train set, etc.) to keep everyone occupied. I could do without the chalkboard wall in one of the rooms, but others might enjoy this. The backyard swingset is better than the one at our real home, and there's a playhouse equipped with toys...and a sandbox! Everything was a bit...cozy with the 7 of us, but we made it work The neighborhood is cute and quiet. There are not a ton of restaurants to walk to, but there are a few and there are endless options within 10 minutes drive. Finally, Sara was able to accommodate a last minute change to our schedule without any problem. We would highly recommend this place!

Family fun rendezvous with grandparents

We met halfway between our households to get grandparents and grandkids together for a fun week in St. Louis. The location was conveniently located near lots of attractions - short drive to Forest Park and City Museum, and walking distance to the botanical gardens and Tower Grove Park. I wasn't familiar with areas of St. Louis when booking, but felt very safe in this location. The rental was very well appointed for family and pet stay. My kids loved the play structure in the back yard and the extra books and Magnatiles.
