If you have a large group this condo will be perfect for you, we had plenty of space for our two families. The condo is located in a historic older building with lots of charm. The main kitchen had everything you might need and the frig is huge. 3 of the 4 bedrooms are great sized and the water pressure in the showers is nice and strong. The condo is located right on Main Street and you can walk to shops, restaurants, and bars. Our host met us at check-in and was very nice showed everything and gave us some good recommendations. We will be back.

The space was wonderful for a large group (6). The ping pong table was a huge hit with my adult children. The bar downstairs had live music and great drinks. A fun and welcoming environment by Conni and Bill!

This is a very cool property. The downtown, old building touches was beautiful. We had plenty of space for 8. Wonderful kitchen as we fixed meals and had plenty of space… cant beat the downstairs Bourbon Bar and live music that the adults enjoyed in the evening. Only 20-25 minutes from downtown St. Louis so made our visit so worth it. The host was amazing as Conni was easy to communicate with and very welcoming. Would stay again.

We had two families stay at this property for a weekend getaway before school started. The loft is such an incredible space with great character. It is apparent the owners have put a lot of work into the property and are still working on it.
Things to be aware of, it is an old building with a steep narrow stairwell to get to the residence floor. Conni was very communicative until she got tied up at the bar on the first floor, which they also own. She escorted is up personally and gave us a tour when we arrived.
We really enjoyed our evenings on the balcony after the kids went to bed since we had beautiful weather. All in all it was a yolace to stay for a great price. With able bodies people who have no issues with stairs, we would definitely stay there again?

Historical!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Coni was on site to greet us. She is very friendly and personally gave us a tour of the property along with a short history of the place. We all loved the story of how the third floor used to be speakeasy back in the day. Although it was a bit drafty in one of the rooms, it was very spacious and comfortable. We were there over a weekend and there was a small band playing in the Venue on the first floor but the music was not too loud and was enjoyable.
My daughter and I were there for a niece's bridal shower and we had plenty of room to complete last minute details for the big day.
There was still some restoration work going on in the foyer but it was not a hindrance. I can't wait to see it when it's all completed. My family and I would definitely stay again in the future.

Roomy family friendly home
Being new to VRBO, I was a bit anxious about booking a place for a special family celebration. Spacious and clean, the home was remodeled with a great deal of TLC. Having 2 large, open kitchens was also a HUGE benefit, as the space allowed everyone to pitch in for making dinner. Truly a fabulous place! The home definitely contributed to a perfect holiday getaway!

My friends and I met in Belleville for a girls’ weekend and were very comfy at Conni’s place. Conni was a gracious host and we loved hearing about the history of the place. Would definitely recommend this truly unique home away from home!

The loft space exceeds expectations! My brother and I isolated there for two weeks before a holiday visit with our parents. The space was incredible for us to work, exercise, chill out, and cook together. We agreed that the atmosphere improved our stress and mental health after a crazy year. We ordered delivery from some fantastic local restaurants. My only complaint is that the weather wasn’t better for us to enjoy the patio more ! Highly recommend. Thank you, Conni!
