Spacious 3BR in The Grove | Walk to Restaurants & Venues | St. Louis

The home was bigger than expected, with tons of space on the first floor, and we especially loved the large kitchen island. Parking right outside the front door was very convenient (there was also a garage in back, but we didn’t use it mostly because you still have to go around to the front of the house to get in with the code). Nice touches like coffee and a snack basket were appreciated. The location worked perfectly for our plans around Forest Park and downtown. There were plenty of towels, and the 2.5 bathrooms were convenient. The master bath has a huge shower. We also liked having closets and dressers so we could unpack.A few things to be aware of: there’s an extra ID and credit card verification step where you have to submit pictures to a third party (the credit card part didn’t work for me, though they did let me skip it). Wi‑Fi access required entering an email and phone number via a portal that attempted promotional sign-up, and it wouldn’t accept privacy-preserving email addresses, which took a while to sort out. The HVAC is fairly loud. With the thermostat in the hallway and no bedroom return vents, the rooms can get very hot/cold if you sleep with doors closed. Also, while bath towels were plentiful, there were no dish towels. Lastly, the checkout rules were only online; having a printed copy in the house would help, and we received checkout texts after the checkout time.

Location and accommodations were exactly as advertised. Would recommend this to anyone for easy access to St. Louis and the Grove neighborhood.

Review could've been better if the place received more love / touch ups. Sitting area furniture isn't functional and needs replacement. Same area needs a coat of paint, walls are worn. I spent the entire stay in the bedroom as a result. JZ sent many texts requesting a selfie and a copy of my drivers license after occupying the unit, with zero explanation or mention om the vrbo listing. Had to manually operate the garage since there was no remote, nor any answers from their team upon calling. I will return to renting from individual hosts from here forward. They know their properties and maintain them to a much higher standard.

House was exactly as pictured. It was beautifully updated, and very well stocked. The only negative thing I could say at all is the sofa is not comfortable, but we were gone most of the day during the two days we were there.

Perfect for a medium size group. We had day helpers too for my daughter’s wedding prep. Safe 2 car locked carport. Walkable to bars and restaurants, close to highway, near WashU and downtown. Street parking for extra cars. Since we were generally in work mode, we didn’t need it, but adult son suggested more sturdy comfortable living room furniture to hang out. Otherwise great stay overnight for 6.
