About this apartment rental
Gorgeous, eclectic, vintage is an apt description for the apartment with loads of living space and a 10 min drive to all of St. Louis' attractions. The Retreat is super close to the area hospitals and St. Louis University. You will find everything you need for a short or extended stay. It is set up for work or play including a desk and a bar set up . Enjoy our super comfy Green Tea memory foam mattresses to rest. The space includes three separate, private bedrooms.
Please note, this is a non-smoking house. Smoking in the house is a $200 charge for deodorization. We welcome pets if you clear your pet's visit with us first. We charge an additional $25 per pet fee for pets. We also ask that you clean up after your pet's unique mess.
I love a place that has the things I didn't remember to bring. Let's face it...no one wants to buy salt and pepper or a huge jar of spices for a short stay. We have tried to think of everything, but if we missed something, let us know and we will get more stuff to make the next guest's stay even better. We love furry friends and have three in our home.

It was a charming second story walk up that had a historic feel and a convenient location to downtown and other locations. There were some minor cleaning issues, but the host was very responsive and accommodating.

Safe, clean and roomie. The apartment is in an older historic building, which I loved. If I get my deposit back in a few days, I'll be totally happy with the first time experience.

The listing looks like a house from the pictures but it is actually a very large apartment on the second floor. Otherwise, the property met our expectations.

It was good for what I needed a place to sleep and relax

Place was in close proximity to the expressway. Response from property manager was in a reasonable time. Property need cosmetic upgrades. Paint in the bathroom started peeling and one bedroom door doesn’t have locks.

The Apartment is clean, quiet and the beds are so comfortable. Check in process was seamless and the one time I had to contact the host the response was immediate.

The location is in an apartment which kinda through me off at first because it was not in the description. The living room and sun room were nice and homey though. The beds were very comfortable too.

I love these old buildings and lovely neighborhoods! This is a find! Great place - look forward to staying there again!

It was a great city apartment experience, nicely furnished with all the little things we would need. The kids liked the sun porch the most. It was their "club house". They liked having adjoining rooms. There were games and toys, which they liked. We started a game of Monopoly and played it for days. It was one of their favorite things. When we got home, they said they missed the apartment the most.

This place was perfect for St. Louis! Great location off the freeway, to get downtown, to the zoo, to the ballgames, etc. The place was historically old, but done nicely inside, and very spacious--way bigger than I mentally anticipated.

This place was very convenient for traveling with a family and very comfortable. I was worried about on street parking but that was never a problem for us. There was always plenty of parking near the apartment. I will definitely stay there again when I am in the area. Thanks

Very peaceful and serene. I found it was very convenient to great neighbor restaurants, bars and concert venue. Quiet given the proximity to the highway. Really chill vibe. I would come back had great experience.
4.5
The apartment was perfect to fit our 5 person family for a quick overnight before an early flight out of Lambert airport. The location was close to the highway, which made it noisy, but also very convenient for getting where you need to go quickly. Great price too.

This old apartment was perfect for our stay for a gaming convention weekend. It's gorgeous and unique. The sunroom/veranda was great for early morning coffee and the location had plenty of parking.
The only drawback I would list is that the back bedroom did not have air conditioning. There was a vent that lead from one of the other rooms, but it did make the room warmer than the rest of the apartment.

Absolutely speachless, would NOT ever recommend.

Nice older apartment that has a great “Retro” feel.
Our annual trip with the grandkids. We all live in the country so the kids loved being in the city and the old school feel of the apartment. Host communicated with us through email after day one to ensure everything was alright and to see if we needed anything.

My family and I rented the urban retreat for the Christmas and new year holidays. The house was incredibly roomy and full of amenities. It was very opulently furnished wIth a cool vibe inside. It had a nice artistic feel and was more than sufficient to sleep my family of 5. The beds were awesome and my wife even commented that she had the best nights sleep of any stay away from home since she could remember. Would recommend highly as a great value for the price.

This was a great little place! It was about 15 minutes away from fun stuff downtown and the neighborhood was awesome. The manager is easy to get a hold of, very friendly, and helpful. The only hiccup we had was the property needed us to checkin late (6pm) due to an unforeseen issue and I didn’t find out until about 30 minutes before checkin. Overall, would recommend!

The apartment was so lovely and perfect for our weekend away (even with two 2-year-olds). The only issue we had (which was not a huge deal) was that the bedrooms were kind of hot. Nothing a box fan couldn’t fix! We would absolutely stay here again.

Great location / Lovely home
My four kids, husband and dog all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely 3bed apartment. It was incredibly well located, just off Grand. Notably, I’ve never stayed at a VRBO with better or more thoughtful supplies - toiletries, cooking materials. The beds are memory foam. We loved them. We had a problem with the heating on the first night, and the owners had a repairman our the next morning. The neighborhood is great (Shaw, Tower Grove), but being close to the highway and very much in the heart of the city, you need to be aware of basic security precautions. We felt perfectly safe in the building, but you need to lock your car, and the front road is probably too busy for kids to play in the front garden (but Tiffany Park is just two blocks away and they can kick a ball in the back garden). Highly recommended for couples, families.

Everything one needs, was in the apartment. Although an older building, it was cleaned, nicely painted, and inviting.

This place was fantastic! It was really cute, there were 6 of us staying very comfortably, and OH MY GOODNESS those mattresses. I got back home and felt like I was sleeping on rocks compared to that green tea memory foam.Thank you to the owners for the granola bars and snacks and for making the process so easy! We loved staying here and if we return to St. Louis, Devon's place will be our first choice!
