Met in Jeff City for a concert in the park. Perfect location close to many local eateries. (Plate & Pour bakery/cafe for breakfast is a must!). Interesting & cozy home was the perfect place to catch up with friends over a bottle of wine while relaxing on the porch.

I am disabled. We rented this property because the advertisement said the property came with a hot tub, which helps with my pain level when I travel. There was no hot tub. I messaged the manager about it and never received a reply. The photos show easy access and a nice concrete walkway that would make it easy to get our suitcases, etc. into the house. The entry pictured is not even where you are renting. You rent an apartment on the side and back of the property. There is a steep rise from the street, steep stairs, then stairs up to the porch that have no handrail. One of the main things I was looking forward to was the unobstructed view of the capitol building for the 4th of July fireworks display. We found one spot in the apartment where you could see a small bit of the display if you stood at the bedroom window and looked past the addition on the back of the building. The door code was changed once we were already on the road to the destination and we had to find a place with free wi-fi in an unfamiliar city before I could pull up the e-mail and find out why we couldn't get into the apartment. Once in, my husband went into the bathroom and there was urine all over the rim of the toilet. All of the dishes looked spotted and dirty. Absolutely was not the weekend that I had planned or what was promised by the ad. I was extremely disappointed.

The place had plenty of room. Was clean and street parking was easy, right in front of the place. Quiet area, maybe it is busier during the week. About 30 minutes from Mizzou driving down a open highway most the drive.

Fascinating history of a beautiful old home. Only here for a night but appealed to our historic interests. Beautiful structures on Capitol Ave - wish they could all be restored. Glad we had the chance to stay.

Parker's Place is literally steps from the Penitentiary and Museum. Both were quite interesting. The location is convenient to about anything. The king bed was luxurious and comfortable. Everything was clean and as described. The house and history were really cool! Be sure to use your phone cam to scan the QR code on the card on the table for history of Mr. Parker, as well as check out the books on the desk. We had our own bag chairs in the car and enjoyed using them to sit out on the oversized (shared) front porch when the rain came in. Be sure to look down the street to see the Capital lit up at night. It's beautiful! Places we enjoyed while in town: Oscar's for breakfast!; Sweet Smoke bbq; Last Flight Brewing Co.; Prison Brews (cool gimmick with good food) and Canterbury Hill Winery (outdoor dining).

House is right across the street from the State Pen for tours and the museum. Also right down the street to the State Capital. Very easy to find. Entrance is on the side of the house.

Parker's place was a very relaxing place for our family to hang out! The apartment was very clean, and Kevin was very responsive and attentive. Parker's Place is very accessible to downtown Jefferson City. We were able to walk to several restaurants, and visited several downtown highlights, such as the Capitol, the Governor's Garden, and Adrian's Island. We look forward to coming back!

The space was very roomy and the bed incredibly comfortable. Extra everything, towels, pillows, etc. Visiting my mother who is in assisted living in JC and it was a perfect location . We picked her up every day and spent the afternoons in the apartment. She isn’t very mobile, but was able to access the apartment easily. It was a great visit as we were able to get her away from her assisted living facility and spend time with her in a comfortable setting. We walked every evening after returning mom to her assisted living. Great neighborhood for walking. Quiet location as well. Thank you.

We visited the Missouri Capitol and old state prison and were excited to stay in the proximity. The location was ideal, as we rode our bikes and walked to several of the sites and restaurants. Kevin was a gracious host, attentive, and had everything ready for us. Thanks for suggesting the locked back sunporch for our bikes, most appreciated! The apartment itself was beautiful, grand, tall, big but comfortable and relaxing – and clean! Historic meets highly functional. The ease of using the digital punch code to get in and the wifi was blazing fast. A great experience and we will be back to stay again!!
