Perfect little stay for our family of 5. Close to almost anything you’d want to do in St. Louis!

Very unique place with lots of neat touches. Great access to downtown.

My family enjoyed our stay. It is an older home where the floors creak and the stairs are narrow but there were many updates. We felt comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed for our visit. Host was responsive when asking about the washer. Overall my family enjoyed visiting St. Louis and the Rustic City Inn worked great for us.

We stayed one night at Rustic City Inn. The home was beautifully decorated and very welcoming. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen/bathrooms were very nice. The neighborhood was safe and easy access to downtown and interstates. Be careful of Google maps-Flad Street end and continues in several places, you will need to improvise directions. Host very accessible via VRBO app and responsive. Would stay again and would recommend.

It's a cute place in a really great neighborhood. We loved that there were several cafes within walking distance. The house itself is nice enough for an older building, as well. There were just a few things that we noticed as time went by that keep me from giving this 5 stars: -It wasn't fully clean. The showers were dirty, there was a dirty hand towel in one bathroom, one of the rugs had crumbled up food on it, there were cobwebs in the blonds and some corners, and the mirrors, televisions, and many other surfaces were greasy. They had originally let us know that the cleaning person was very busy that weekend, so this may just be the fault of that, but it definitely looked like they had missed cleaning some areas. -It was uncomfortably hot upstairs in the bedrooms. The AC was locked so we couldn't turn it down, which meant that the house couldn't get cool enough upstairs for the upper 90-degree days we were there. I'm sure the place is lovely in the spring and fall, but I wouldn't recommend it in the heat of the summer. -I also wouldn't recommend more than 2 couples stay there despite there being 3 bedrooms. To get to the upstairs bathroom from one of the bedrooms, you have to walk through the other bedroom, which wouldn't work well if someone was staying in it. -Also, the furniture on the upper decks isn't what is shown. The deck that shows the Adirondack chairs has nothing on it and doesn't feel stable when you walk on it. My husband was disappointed by that.

Everything about this place was great with two exceptions. It is in a great location and neighborhood. Being an older building was not surprised by narrow steep stairs, squeaky floorboards. What bothered me was lack of lamps/ lighting in bed rooms and living room and the limited use of thermostats to 72 degrees. Too hot at night for our usual sleeping habits. These were only reasons I did not give a 5 star rating.

Nice 2 story home with back porch and yard. It was clean and well-furnished. Our only suggestion is that is not great for senior adults; the stairs are narrow and all bedrooms upstairs, also stairs to get into the house. I should have read the description more carefully.

I lived in St. Louis for grad school and stayed in this VRBO with 3 friends for our 10-year reunion. The house was pretty and well-maintained, but we couldn't so much as have lunch at the house with our other friends without clearing it through the property manager first (so we skipped it) and a week after our stay I was asked if we'd broken a coffee pot we didn't notice, let alone use. I'm not sure if this is an STL short-term rental thing or unique to the property, but I've never dealt with so many rules and so much scrutiny from a property manager/owner in any other VRBO or other short-term rental I've stayed in any other city.
