Metropolitan Escape |

Welcome to your vacation home! This beautiful 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom house is perfect for families or groups of friends looking for a cozy and inviting place to stay to explore all St. Louis has to offer.

Upon entering the front door, you'll be wowed by the living room, which features a blue sectional sofa, fireplace, large HDTV, and dramatic white and gold accents.

The separate family room downstairs has an oversized neutral sectional sofa complete with a chaise lounge - the perfect spot for afternoon naps or movie nights. The neutral decor creates a calming atmosphere with just enough fun pops of color to make it interesting.

If you're in the mood for entertaining, gather around the sophisticated high-top dining table that comfortably seats 4 people—it's like being at a restaurant without leaving your own home!

The kitchen is an absolute dream: crisp white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, and glass-front cabinets make cooking both enjoyable and efficient. Plus, there's a formal dining room right next door if you have more guests than expected!

The hall bath has a glass-tiled tub/shower combo, while the primary bath features an oversized walk-in shower that will make you feel like royalty every day.

The primary bedroom offers plenty of space and includes a king bed, TV, ceiling fan, dual nightstands, and lamps.

The first guest room has a queen bed, ceiling fan, TV, dual nightstand lamps, and colorful decor for added charm.

A loft bedroom with a king bed under the eaves offers a TV and dramatic blue and gold accents that will make you feel like royalty.

The last bedroom is tucked inside the loft bedroom and offers two twin beds, nightstands, and lamps, all in beautifully coordinated shades of blue, white, and brown. It's perfect as a family suite.

From comfort to convenience, this house offers everything needed for an unforgettable stay, allowing you to create forever memories with your favorite people!

Additional amenities include a washer/dryer, WiFi, and cable streaming on the smart TVs throughout the house. For the little ones, we also provide a highchair and a pack-n-play.

THE LOCATION

Whether you are in town for family or friends, the St. Louis area has plenty to keep you busy. This St. Louis home is in a prime location just minutes from all the best attractions!

If you're traveling with kids, be sure to check out The City Museum. It's not quite what you would expect from a “museum” per se, but it has been voted a must-see destination in St. Louis.

Let's not forget our most famous attraction here in The Gateway to the West. You will be a 5-minute drive to the St. Louis Arch and downtown.
Are you a baseball or hockey fan? Busch Stadium, the home of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Enterprise Center, the home of the 2019 Stanley Cup Champion St. Louis Blues, are both within a 10-minute drive from this home. Be sure to catch a game because St. Louis has some awesome sports fans!

Maybe you're looking for a romantic night out? Be sure to check out The Hill for great Italian food or head over to the Central West End for live music and cocktails at Scarlett's Wine Bar.

Lastly, Forest Park has a little bit of everything for the outdoorsy person! Dine at the boathouse, rent paddleboards, get a tee time at The Forest Park Golf Course, and see some animals at the Saint Louis Zoo! This is the largest city park in the country (yes, it's larger than Central Park in NYC), so there is plenty to explore.

Great Location and Space, Beds Bad
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was clean and matched the listing description. We were grateful for a nicely stocked kitchen (dishes, utensils, etc.) and the pack & play. Having two living rooms with large couches was great for our family gathering. The neighborhood is quiet and had a fantastic park at the end of the street. We agree with other reviews that the beds are not comfortable. They are foam mattresses that are very hot and difficult to move/get out of, especially for those with some mobility limitation. We recommend the mattresses get replaced to greatly improve the property.

Nice property. Beautifully decorated as pictured. Unfortunately, pictures can’t describe bedroom mattresses. We will NOT be coming back until mattresses are replaced. Several adults landed on couches because of the poor mattresses. You might consider investing in quality mattresses so it brings people back instead of 0ne time stays. Decor is ultimately secondary to a bad night’s sleep.

This property had some issues…
I’m not sure what other reviewers were referring to when remarking positively about this property’s cleanliness. While it was by no means ‘dirty’, it certainly was not clean either. The images in the listing show a well maintained mid-century home with good amenities, unfortunately this property has been hit pretty hard by previous guest. The main floor was rather well kempt, but the loft area upstairs was really pretty gross. The carpet was crusty and had noticeable stains of varying texture. The walls were also stained and covered in make-shift drywall patchwork. The artwork was no longer attached the wall and was just resting on the ground against it. Additionally, throughout all floors of the property were icky reminders that this is indeed a rental property; finding garbage and old socks under the beds and dressers. Beyond this, there were no other egregious examples of uncleanliness. The only remaining issues, honestly nitpicks, are about the bedrooms not having actual doors, but instead shutter style doors that don’t latch and stay closed and can be seems through and heard through with ease. So, privacy from your other guests is really out of the question if that’s something important to you. Finally, we did have an issue with the internet not working. I spent a few nights trying to work with the property owner to resolve it, but ultimately was move to an alternate property when it could not be resolved. The owners support team was always very friendly

Family gathering in St. Louis
This house worked well for our family. My sisters and I, and our spouses (total of 6 adults) stayed the weekend while we attended a family get together in town. The house was clean, and spacious. We had no problem with check in, and received text messages regarding check out. The neighborhood seemed older and quite safe. All in all, I'd give it 5 stars.

Family trip to St. Louis
House was very clean inside, lots of space for our family to spread out- 4 adults and 3 kids. There is another family room in the basement that could easily sleep more people who don’t mind sleeping on the couch. As has been mentioned in other reviews, the bathroom layout is a little bit odd- no bathroom on the second floor with those bedrooms, the second bathroom is in the basement off of the family room. This was not a big deal for our family but good to know. We were worried about the upstairs being cool with the window unit, but it was just fine. Note- the second bedroom upstairs is not really separate from the other bedroom- just a French door in between. This could be closed and there is a curtain for a little more privacy, but as the window unit is in the bedroom with the twin beds, I think this would likely cause air flow issues upstairs. Again, this was fine for our group, but a good thing to know. The neighborhood was quiet and well kept, with a park at the end of the street. Quick access to Hampton- zoo, Highway 64 very close. Within 5 minutes was a Target, grocery store, and Ted Drewes. The backyard seemed to have been overlooked by the cleaning crew- lots of fireworks trash that we had to pick up. But inside was very clean. We appreciated all of the amenities in the kitchen. Host was quick to respond to communication, and key code lock was easy to use. Would stay again.
