About this property

Botanical Garden & Foodie's Dream 950 Sq Ft of Mid Century Swank in St. Louis

Please note: we have been taking COVID19 seriously from the beginning. We decided if we're going to rent the apartment we have to put extra expense in assuring everyone's safety and disinfecting everything possible. We have been in quarantine since March 13, not about to blow it now! We increased our cleaning fee to allow for enhanced precautions and there's two days in between guests to do it. Back to regular programming:

Beautiful space fully furnished including bed linens, towels. Parks, culture, night life and dining. Shop unique imports, vintage clothes and furniture. Inside, you'll love the high ceilings, natural wood and mid century decor. We're a short, pleasant walk to the Missouri Botanical Garden, beautiful Tower Grove Park, and a couple of blocks from 14 different ethnicities of cuisine! 5 mins from St. Louis University, Washington University, Central West End, 5 miles from Arch and downtown, we have jazz clubs in the neighborhood, we're 5 mins to the legendary St. Louis blues club neighborhood. Bicycle friendly city, easy to get around. Follow your ears to the music and your nose to the BBQ! Bring your bike. Free WIFI.

Sleeps one or a couple very comfortably or can sleep 6. One full bed in bedroom, but we can add beds to sleep 6, possibly more. Then there is the memory foam mattress on the floor which is very comfortable. We can sleep more if need be, but it gets a little more creative. Just ask.

This is a private listing meaning the entire space is yours and yours alone with over 950 square feet, large rooms and eat-in kitchen. The last two years it has been very successful on the prevalent site we all know, we maintained consistent Super Host status. We came here to boycott because of inhumane international policies and other transgressions. Perhaps you joined us for similar reasons. So although this is a new account here, we are not new to surpassing the needs of our guests.

Hardwood floors throughout except the tasteful ceramic tile in kitchen and bath,.a sunroom sitting room with a small desk for office or study, or enjoy a storm. Claw foot bathtub with shower. Nice French doors to separate the main rooms. Lots of good light. Sit on your back balcony and enjoy our huge trees in a park-like setting and sit with your friends in the backyard at our community table and chairs on the lawn. Living room, sunroom, bedroom, bathroom with claw foot bathtub, eat-in kitchen, small covered back balcony. You can do some warming up of things and light cooking, but don't expect to cook a huge holiday meal. Once you find out about the restaurants, I doubt you'll want to eat in. Walk to the corner, go left one block then right two blocks, and you're in it, a couple dozen restaurant in a 5 block stretch. You must do your own dishes and clean up after yourselves. Toaster and coffee maker, microwave and blender. There are plates, bowls, flatware, all the stuff you need to make a fine presentation of the carryout you grabbed on Grand Ave. Because you're probably not going to want to cook. Coffee shop breakfast joint around the corner even. Free WIFI is included for your devices, but there is no TV. Instead we have a record collection and a vintage console stereo and interesting books to read. Excellent place to get your head together.

Pets are allowed subject to approval, and please declare the number of pets in the section where you declare the number of humans. The site calculates the amount for one animal. Dog owners: there is no fenced in yard, and there is no pooping on the property whether or not you clean it up. We have bags for your walk.

We appreciate you taking the time to check us out and look forward to meeting you. We enjoy greeting our guests, but we don't mind leaving you alone, your call. Personally, when I'm traveling and finally get to the place where I'll lay my head, the last thing I want to do is meet someone, but if you need local info like where the jazz club or fine cuisine, at your service. Accordingly, we operate our business on empathy, and focusing on that maximizes your joy and satisfaction.

Hostile owner, do not recommend
The photo shown is not consistent with what we found in the unit. One chair looked like it had been shredded by a cat in multiple places. Other furniture was worn with some stains. Unit smelled strongly of something off. My wife sat on the bed and was promptly bitten on her ankles (only exposed skin). When we came back later, she again sat on the bed and was bit yet again, this time finding the bug on her which looked suspiciously like a bed bug. We looked at the mattress cover which was stained and dirty. Rest of the apartment was not thoroughly cleaned or fully kept up (wires coming out of one wall, no light bulb outside so almost tripped on stoop that was under construction). Worst was the customer service or lack thereof by the owner. He was near immediately combative, verbally aggressive and inappropriate. Overall, he was, by far, the worst owner we’ve ever dealt with and we travel a lot. We’ve never had this many issues nor an owner who was even remotely this hostile. Can we give zero stars as a rating?

I liked the furnishings.
If you need a place just to sleep, this would work. Nice neighborhood. Not far from good eateries. BUT, it is on the second floor, not good for people with hip/knee problems. NOTHING in kitchen except a few plates, few glasses, few pans, a little silverware. There was a bottle of olive oil, some soy sauce, n a couple of ice cube trays. No spices, no coffee for coffee maker, no dish soap, although you are supposed to do the dishes, I found a little Tide & washed up with that. No TV, record player didn’t work, we listened to the radio. You literally need to bring EVERYTHING you might need for your stay. Won’t be back

Take a walk and stretch your legs after a day's travel, stroll our stunning park, get a good meal, listen to some live music, go back to the apartment, put on an LP and read a book.
