We have stayed here many times - it is the best and our dogs now think it is their home away from home. They can't wait to walk the neighborhood & hang out on front porch or back patio. The location is the best, as is the house, kitchen. You can cook or simply reheat delicious food from the Hill. It is a great house to relax in if you need a rest from your travels. Can't wait to stay her again. Thanks for sharing!

We stayed here for 4 nights over spring break and this was the perfect place to come back to after a full day out and about. Our kids enjoyed the park across the street and walking through the neighborhood to the nearby coffee shop. We felt safe walking around and going to the park. The house was clean and had everything we needed and everything we didn’t realize we’d need! We will stay here again if we come back for a vacation!

The rental is as described. It was great to be able to walk to so many restaurants. We also walked to the park and around the neighborhood daily with our children and dog. Communication with the owner was excellent. I can’t think of a better neighborhood to stay in while visiting St. Louis.

The home was beautifully updated and very comfortable. The location was fabulous and within an easy walk to so many restaurants and markets--and an amazing bakery. Lisa was very accommodating and prompt to answer our questions. She has really thought of everything you could want or need, including treats for pets. Our stay was a great reminder of the hospitality of St. Louis, my home town.

Also, everyone walks in this part of town which makes it feel super safe. We highly recommend this rental if you're going to St. Louis. It was about 5 miles from any attraction that we visited.

Gem on the Hill!

Words can’t express how amazing this adorable VRBO is, or how fabulous the neighborhood is! The home is so clean, decorated cute, and has everything in it to make it homey. We thoroughly enjoyed coffee on the porch and drinks on the back deck. It was so fun to walk to the nearby restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and bakeries. A wonderful Catholic Church is also close and it was so enjoyable walking to Mass Sunday morning. Very safe and quiet neighborhood. We would 1000% stay here again and can’t recommend this place enough. Additionally, Lisa was so easy to work with and responded immediately to any questions. Hope we can return some day!
