House was super clean and in good repair. Kitchen was nicely stocked with almost anything you might need to cook a meal. Fenced in backyard was an added bonus as we had 2 dogs with us. Host was super responsive and corrected a forgotten item within minutes! Highly recommend this property and would stay again!

Big house near The Hill
This house was nice and comfortable enough for our long weekend stay. I did reach out to the owner with a few suggestions for improvements, lamps and area rugs in the bedrooms, and hooks for towels in the bathrooms. He was amenable to that. If he makes those changes, I would say this property could be a 5.

Perfect location
We were in town for a family wedding, it fit our needs. We like the location easy to get around for sight seeing and close to wedding venue.Safe neighborhood, easy available parking. The stairs could be challenging the anyone with impaired mobility they’re somewhat steep and a bit rickety. It’s an older home. Nice yard and porch. The twin bedrooms connect through one of the bedrooms and there is a washer and dryer in the bedroom that leads to the second twin room. It fit our needs as we wanted 4 bedrooms and 4 beds. I didn’t realize the twin bedrooms were connect, one is very small but it’s same as listed. Beds were comfortable and the 2 bathrooms were perfect.The main living space is roomy and comfortable. The Main Street off the side street house is on, can sound busy in the morning. Pleasant neighborhood. Host was great and very responsive.

St. Louis Wedding
We were in town for a family wedding and the location provided easy access to all of the wedding activities. Andrew was a great communicator and responded quickly to all of our inquires. The house was clean and comfortable! Make sure to explore The Hill and experience the wonderful Italian cuisine. We would definitely stay at the "Beautiful 4 bedroom Home by the Hill" again.

Weekend with Mom & Sisters
We had a great stay for our weekend together. Our host was helpful, accommodating and quick to respond.After the first night everyone was so impressed with how comfortable the mattresses were and how quiet it was inside the house. This location was great for us. We went to the Botanical Gardens, enjoyed authentic Italian pizza, had a wonderful meal at a Mexican restaurant that was only a few blocks away. There is lots to do in this area-near the garden district and the Hill-and it is close to the interstate.We are hoping to return for another fun time together!

Excellent stay in St. Louis
The property is in a great location in The Hill neighborhood. Very central to many attractions. We visited the zoo, City Museum, Union Station, the Arch, and Forrest Park. All were very easy drives from this property. I think the longest drive was 10 minutes.Highly recommended, I would stay here again!

Great for our get together
We were looking for a central location to meet up with family, and this location worked. We also wanted to catch up, play some games, and have some decent meals without having to get back in the car and drive, this place checked all those boxes. There are a number of restaurants, delis, donuts shops, etc... all within a short walk.

If you are visiting The Hill in St. Louis, this is a nice house. Not far from the Arch too. We were attending a wedding at St Ambrosia and it’s within walking distance (approximately 10 min walk).

Great Location
We picked the Southwest Garden rental due to its easy access to downtown and other areas we were going to visit. We were pleasantly surprised by its proximity to the Italian neighborhood, The Hill. Walkable area that opened up a number of options for dining, coffee, etc. The owner was easy to work with and responsive.

Older home that has been nicely restored with a privacy fenced back yard. Convenient location to Busch Stadium. Second floor laundry was helpful. Great italian restaurants nearby.

Well taken care of
We are most impressed with the attentiveness of the owner, but during registration and during our stay. We placed one call for supplies, and another for repair of the air conditioning and both were answered/fixed within hours. Most appreciated! The house is well-located (walking distance from Favazza's!), well supplied, clean, and comfortable. It was built in 1910 so the bathrooms are small and stairs steep, which corresponds with its charm. We quite enjoyed our stay and working with Andrew.
