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.

Cool clean and comfy stay. This is a single room in the basement of a single family home with its own entrance at the back of the house, off street parking right out front. Fewer than ten minutes drive to Opera Theater St. Louis’s festival playhouse.

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!

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!

Uneasy
Good location, clean, BUT, several things happened! We asked for an early check in and was told "absolutely not 4: firm". We asked if we could drop off our luggage early, he said "yes", then we got a text about 2:00 the day of arrival asking our ETA, and I told him about 3:00, and he came back with a condescending "didn't you read the arrival time, no check in until 4:00!" He told us not to pull into his driveway but to pull into the business across the street and park there all week! Then at 3:30 we pulled in across the street & saw him on his driveway & as we walked toward him, he saw us and went in the house. So, we took a walk & came back at 4. We asked the business if it was ok to park there, and they said they never had been asked, but it is ok this time. ??? weird Then the next day without a warning of any kind, he had a scheduled AC maintenance guy come in our (locked) small room, they moved our luggage and were in & out for quite a while. Very weird! A few other thinks like, he said large studio but tiny room, not room to work or eat except on a TV tray, said toaster oven, so we brought bread & bagels to toast, but no toaster. Very uneasy! Will not be back!

A comfy and convenient place in St Louis
I came to St Louis to help my daughter to move in into her residence hall at Webster University. Because we missed some flight connections, we arrived past the check-in hours so she stayed with me at Tim and Beverly's during our first night in St Louis. Our hosts were very understanding and accommodating about this change of plans. The place is quite comfortable for two people. It was very conveniently located for us, close to Webster and to the Shrewsbury-Lansdowne I-44 Station, from where one can catch the Metro Link to the airport and downtown. As we were busy with preparations for the beginning of classes, we did not have much time to see many places around, besides Webster Groves. But now that our daughter is in St Louis, I will be coming back and will definitely stay with Tim and Beverly again!

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!
