Walk to the Arch, Stadium & Casino in Minutes!

LaceyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Great location close to The Dome and the Cardinals stadium. The check in was a little tricky, however there were very clear instructions and anytime you are staying in a downtown/condo/apartment space, you should expect it to be different from checking into a home. Just follow the directions are you are set! Felt very safe and comfortable in the space.

Rachel’s place was fantastic! The apartment was immaculately clean, beautifully appointed, and incredibly comfortable. Check-in was seamless. The directions for accessing both the unit and the parking were clear and easy to follow. Rachel was a superb host: responsive, thoughtful, and a true pleasure to interact with.

Guest Favorite!*Roof Deck with Arch & River View

MKRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We absolutely loved the loft, primarily for its convenient location! We were able to take scenic walks to local attractions and restaurants, as well as the concert we were in town for. The market and deli downstairs had immaculate vibes, I don’t know how else to say it! We got coffee and breakfast down there every morning and a few evening drinks and snacks during the stay as well. I highly recommend for your STL stay! ✨

Walk to the Arch, Stadium & Casino in Minutes!

MelissaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Great place! 15 min walk to Busch Stadium and about 5 min to the Arch. Not too much near the actual place except a few restaurants and casino. Might see visiting baseball players in the area as they sometimes stay at the four seasons across the street. Place was perfect for a family with small kids!!

Such a wonderful place in Grafton. Close enough to get involved in the activities if you want to but enough distance to feel peaceful if you want to just chill!!! The house is beautifully redone and Laura was a great host. We made some wonderful family memories and would rent again without a doubt!!! In the fall would be AMAZING too!!

The River Stables in St. Charles, MO

MikaelaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We traveled to St. Charles because I graduated from Lindenwood University. I wanted somewhere truly relaxing and away from the hustle of life. This house was right on the Missouri River and was extremely peaceful. My husband loved fishing whenever he wanted. My kids had a blast playing outside and LOVED sleeping in bunk beds for the first time. It was just the vacation and getaway that we needed. If we are every back in the area, we will definitely be staying again. The only issue we had was the outside trash can was missing. The hosts were very fast to reply and fixed the issue very quickly.

The Bonney Grey Guesthouse in Grafton

HannahRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Wow! Location location location! This is the perfect Grafton spot. You can walk to everything, including the skylift to take you up to aeries activities. There’s a bar next door and you can sit on the patio at the house and listen to their live music too. We were surprised that the kitchen was on the second floor, so if stairs are hard on you, do not book here. We had no problem though. The view is amazing as well. So many amenities here including a full coffee bar, and drinking water. Our group was just thrilled with our stay here. Thank you!
