Nice place on a nice quiet street. Close to everything in STL. Would definitely stay here again.
5.0 / 5.0
This property came as advertised. I was not let down in any way. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood, it was clean, and the communication with the owner was outstanding.
My dog was allowed to stay in the home. There is a very small fenced in back yard which was nice.
All in all I would recommend this property and would stay here again.
5.0 / 5.0
Our intergenerational group very much enjoyed this home. The two sets adult enjoyed the respective space of the first floor master and basement suite. We used the game console, enjoyed meals and card games at the dining table and slept comfortably in the memory foam mattresses.
It seemed all as if all of our destinations were no more than 15-20 minutes away, so the destination couldnt be more convenient and the neighborhood quiet.
We were glad to have brought sound machines to muffle some of the noise between the three first floor bedrooms being close to one another and the hardwood floor being a little bit squeaky. The kitchen supplies sufficed but we also werent doing major meal preparation either.
Great spot!

Everything about the home was as described in the listing- modest clean home. having two different living areas and large dining table as well as a table & chairs outside made for comfortable downtime when we were there.
Enjoyed walking around the Dogtown neighborhood which was new to us.
The real star is the easy access to zoo, Forest Park, Botanical Gardens and downtown attractions.
Would definitely stay here again.
5.0 / 5.0
We had a great stay at Maravilla 1. Liz was very helpful before we arrived as we were planning our trip. The communication between us was better than any VRBO rental that I have stayed at for our trip.
Liz was very quick to assist in the one problem we had while there. Our coffeemaker would not work. Liz responded to my emails quickly and was able to replace it with a brand new one before noon that day!
The unit was very comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It was very convenient for the places we were planning our activities for our trip.
The welcome packet was very well prepared and included a LOT of info for St Louis and the surrounding areas for food and entertainment.
Overall a great place to stay!

5.0 / 5.0
Our family of 6 (including in-laws) decided to take a mini getaway. We decided to go to St.Louis to see our beloved Cubs play. The house was clean and accessible to everything we did. The zoo was a 5min drive. The other places like Busch stadium, Aquarium at Union Station, the City Museum, Galleria mall, and restaurants were no more than 15min away. The house is located in an area called Dogtown which was very quiet and family friendly. Great place to stay at!

5.0 / 5.0
Nice Neighborhood
The house was exactly as described. The only thing that would be a great addition is more screens in the windows! Weather got nice but opening the windows was limited. We had an issue with the AC and the owner was extremely prompt to address the problem. I can not say enough good things about there communication and promptness in response and addressing the problem. If I am in the area again, I would stay there.
5.0 / 5.0
Family trip to Cardinal game, zoo, Brewery, The Hill, and Grant’ Farm
Convenient location, good neighborhood, and big beds. Ample parking, nice amenities and clean. No problems.
One tip—-if you walk to the end of the lane ( where it dead ends), there are stairs to walk down and you are only five minutes from a bar area and a bakery.
