Very Hill charming. Also enough out of the traffic flow that it was easy to park. My only suggestion would be to let renters know where to find extra linens, towels and a broom. We needed them but didn’t find them till we were packing up. ##### Sheri D.

What a beautiful place in this friendly and safe neighborhood. We enjoyed mornings with the bakery across the street and the wonderful food and people of The Hill! This was a comfortable and beautifully renovated space in the middle of it all and in walking distance and short driving distance to some great attractions both on The Hill and in greater St. Louis. ##### Sarah C.

They have stayed in a few other rental locations within the neighborhood and this VRBO has been their favorite so far. Everything was as described and pictured. You can hear the upstairs guests some, but it was no problem for them. Easy communication with property manager and clear, simple instructions for check-in/out. All was great! ##### gretchen c. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Leonarda D. 2 Mar 2025 Liked: Check-in, location #### Disappointed The shower never got hot. My husband and I would have liked the issue fixed or compensated in some way but the it didn't happen during our 3 night stay.There was not any hospitality snacks nor water bottles. It felt very hotel like and not the desired, homey, B&B experience that we love. ##### Leonarda D.
