I found it to be very clean and quiet. Bed and chairs could have been more comfortable, but for the price it was reasonable. I parked around the corner on St. Vincent. I felt my car was safer there.

Pleasant stay
I was moving my freshman into SLU. Quick 10 minutes on the highway. Note: the parking location has changed, and you must park on the street. The Vrbo pages had not been updated at my reservation time.

Beverly and Tim were great hosts! The place is super cute, clean, and comfy. Very close to dining options and touristic places. I went with my partner to ser the Eclipse, but we were also able to walk around Saint Louis and know more about the city. If we'll come back to St. Louis, we'll definitely be in touch with then again. Very happy to have stayed there :)

We chose this property for its excellent location, a very short walk from the Shrewsbury train station. Our experience with the St. Louis mass transit system was very positive. We were so happy not to rent a car! Our hosts were very accommodating, letting us leave our luggage for several hours after checking out.

Lovely spot
I was in St Louis to look after my elderly mother. Tim and Beverly could not have been more welcoming. They were so kind, even sweeping my car after it snowed. The cozy basement unit was warm and had enough blankets even during the recent below 0 weather. A great option for a traveller on a budget!

A Wonderful Place
Whether your are visiting for a short or long amount of time this place has everything you need. Tim and Bev are very gracious hosts and a joy to talk with. The House Rules are simple if you think they are excessive you're wrong this is how they maintain such a prestine area. Very quiet and peaceful which is surprising being so close the city. We will be staying here again!

Great stay close to WashU
We planned this visit to St. Louis for our daughter’s college graduation at WashU. Our son decided to join us, and our hosts were very understanding and accommodating about this change of plans. The hosts, Tim and Beberly, were exceedingly friendly in making sure that any needs were met. They made us feel very welcome. They added things like sweets and cold water that made it nice. Kept lots of things that travelers need. Well thought out. Wonderful hideaway in St. Louis County with central location. Great owners and very communicative people. We hope to find them here forever and we would like to come back, again. Thank you Tim and Beverly!

Cozy Getaway
My wife, dog and I arrived late after a long day of driving and we were relieved to arrive at Tim and Beverly’s place. Not only did Tim and Beverly create a beautiful tropical getaway, it was stocked with everything we needed and then some. The place easy to find and was very clean when we arrived. The snacks for us were an added bonus. Tim and Beverly were very communicative and answered all our questions before staying. We would absolutely recommend staying here for a quick trip or longer if needed!

A sweet spot
Great little basement space for 2 people that was warm and dry....no dampness at all. The shower head was marvelous! The Key West decorations are carefully displayed and lifts your spirit. Parking is literally across the street and safe under bright lights at the top of a slight rise. Tim and Beverly are intensely interested in the quality of their guest's stay. The coded entry was so nice since I didn't have to carry a key. I loved strolling through the neighborhood. My trip was all about spending time with family which was a short 2 mi. drive. I will definitely stay again. Thanks Tim and Beverly!
