STL, Tower Grove, 2-Story Townhome - B

Five stars for me...The value of this place is fantastic. It is very spacious, all 3 bedrooms are upstairs and the stairs are pretty steep. I wouldn't want to stay here with any older folks or anybody with mobility issues.I was familiar with the area when I booked, so I knew what I was getting into. This place is right in The Grove area, which is an area full of loud late night bars. You will be able to hear the bass bumping outside from the bar across the block until 3am or so. We were actually going to a concert in the area and wanted to stay close, so we knew what we were in for, but ear plugs are a good idea here.The property is pretty dated and could use a good deep cleaning. I'm very easy to please, so 5 stars for me, but many folks might be a bit turned off by various things. The ceiling fans look like they haven't been dusted in at least a year and turning one on would result in a storm of bunnies.

For what we paid (much less than the listing price) this was an acceptable landing place for our trip to St Louis. How do we paid the full listing price I would not feel that way.Pros:- free, convenient parking- easy to access downtown attractions like the zoo and the arch by driving, but don't expect to walk- neighborhood seems safe and has several restaurants, a nice coffee shop,a park with playground, and a convenience store within walking distance- grill and outdoor furniture in semi-private yard- spacious inside so that we were not piled on top of each other.Cons:- kitchen could use a casserole or cake pan for oven, larger cooking pot for soup, cutting board, mixing bowl for salad, maybe some measuring cups/spoons.- needs cosmetic repairs and thorough cleaning such as behind furniture, floorboards, walls- some of the windows are not installed properly and sealed and therefore drafty with cold or hot air from outsideOur main complaints were 1) three out of six beds did not have top sheets and only three bath towels were provided. In spite of contacting the host several times, more sheets and towels were never delivered. 2)even though we filled out the check-in form, we did not get check-in information sent. We sat outside trying to reach the host fir 30 minutes before finally getting check in info. This *COULD BE* a very good stay if the linens were provided, communication time faster, and additional kitchen supplies.

This property is extremely spacious, plenty of places for everyon to sleep and not be on top of each other. The location is pretty central. A 9 minute drive to the zoo and Forest Park and 9 minutes the other way to go downtown to the arch and places such as City Museum and the aquarium. The only issue we had was that one of the blinds in the first bedroom was off. And given the fact of that room faces the local businesses the lights were shining directly on the bed making it difficult to sleep. Hopefully Dan will be ble to get it repaired before the next guests stay.

This property’s location was super amazing. Walkable to many restaurants, the Improv Shop (where my group was performing) and bars. For this reason, I’d stay again! As far as comfort…the mattresses were awful. I slept on the bunk bed which was very shaky, you can’t move at all in the bed without it squeaking and moving. My teammate slept in the room with the double beds and said the plastic in the mattress was also super loud. Another member in our company ended up sleeping on the couch then moving to the floor because the mattress was so uncomfortable.
