This is a great place to stay and the place is very clean. Stephanie & DJ made my 2 week trip very memorable. I met both Stephanie & DJ in person a few times and they are very professional, very friendly, very accommodating, very good human beings, very helpful and will go above and beyond to make sure that you have everything you need. You can see why they are Superhosts. What they described in the photo and listing is what you will get. Also, great communication and you can tell that Stephanie & DJ cares a lot about your stay and comfort. They also have a white noise machine and Roku TV. The bathroom is clean and the bed is comfy. They would also provide you with water bottles and snacks. I originally had to cancel my booking because of the baseball strike and was going to moved it to another day but then I found out that I can still make my original booking date. Stephanie and DJ were flexible and allowed me to book the new dates but after I told them that I can still make my original date, they let me book my original dates back. I originally was worried about my safety before I got here but after I got here, I felt very safe and this is a safe neighborhood. Also, it's convenient for taking the bus or ubering downtown and other places and it's not that far from downtown. This place is better than a hotel room. Also, DJ is renovate the building behind this one and he's very talented at it. I see that he's trying to make a difference in this community and I wish him the best at it. If I can give Stephanie & DJ more than 5 stars, I would. Highly recommended. I will book with Stephanie & DJ again if I come back to St. Louis and if they have the dates avaliable that I'm planning on staying.

We have stayed in at least 15 Airbnbs and VRBOs in STL and we have never been disappointed. S &DJs was no exception. It reminded me of a European hotel—small but all of the essentials. It was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. That’s high on our list! The bathroom was new with a good shower. The refrigerator/microwave area was basic. Please read the list of what is provided and decide if you need to bring a few things. We did not have time to use porch area, but it looked very relaxing. S&DJ were very responsive. We thought the price in May was reasonable but I notice it was going up by 50% this summer. We did appreciate that there were no hidden fees added at the end (cleaning) but that the price on the page for the room (one assumes cleaning to be a part of that) was the price paid. The location is not in the middle of things but STL is pretty easy to get around. Parking was great. We would definitely stay again if the price goes back down at the end of the summer.

Stephanie and DJ were communicative and helpful. Easy check in, immaculate clean space, and they had coffee, some snacks, toiletries etc. It is a very cute building and well decorated. 20 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes from downtown so the location is very convenient Two notes that I think you should know before booking: 1. the bathroom has a curtain instead of a lockable door separating it from the bedroom/living space. If you’re staying there with someone, make sure it’s someone you’re comfortable with because there is less privacy than one would normally expect 2. The neighborhood is actively being revitalized, so when you’re driving to the space it has a bit of a run down appearance. I did not feel unsafe, but it is not a neighborhood that I would want to go walking around for the scenery Neither of the above things would prevent me from booking this space again, but I think it is good to know in advance of booking

We picked this rental because it's right across the street from the baseball stadium with a great view looking into baseball village. We were able to park in a private, very secure area of the parking garage and walk to all the attractions nearby. The apartment was simple, tidy, and perfect for our needs. There was 1 private bedroom with bed and TV, a nook area with a twin bed, and a twin in the living room, plus a couch that could've been used to sleep also. The building has an amazing roof with seating and TVs. We felt very safe with how secure the building is. Martine is very nice and responsive to questions and gave us excellent instructions for arrival and parking. We will definitely be renting again the next time we are in town.

Comfortable and welcoming stay
The house is perfectly suited for a short (and probably long) stay in St. Louis. Within walking distance of Forest Park, Dogtown and The Hill, you can enjoy a relaxing walk, a delicious meal or a fast food franchise. The living room and bedrooms are cool and comfortable and the kitchen has all you need in a vacation house. All in all, a great stay.
