Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Centralized location with plenty of room and a fenced yard for your furry friends. Close to the hill and walking distance to some amazing restaurants. Host was very responsive and had plenty of ideas for our first visit to the area. Quick drive to the arch and downtown as well union Station and other attractions.
