Good value
Simple, spacious apartment for a weekend visit. Great location and a walkable neighbourhood. However, it is an old building and apartment feels a bit neglected. We noticed mold on the window frames and around the tub. Many of the dishes were dirty when we arrived. The building is also quite loud, and we could hear the neighbours often. For the price, it was worth it, despite these issues.

A Great Location, just a couple things needed
It was really clean and well maintained for the most part! Communication was great! Location was amazing for what we were doing (zoo, The Muny, Cardinals game...) Some things need to be addressed though...
1. The beds are small. 2 small adults would probably be ok, but itherwise its a tight fit. But they are comfy!
2. The futons are not comfy.
3. LR a/c not working well.
4. They had plenty of lamps, but not all could connect to wall socket. Needed extension cords.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Cozy Cute Apartment
Our stay was great! This cute apartment was perfect for our family of 5. The building has so much character & you can really imagine the different stories those walls could tell. The apartment had everything we needed to cook & make meals.
We were able to walk to the turtle park & the next day, walked to the zoo!
Overall, I am thrilled we booked our stay at this apetment!
