We booked the house for our trip to a family wedding. Most people stayed in the venue hotel, but our side of the family wanted to share a place so we could spend more time together. We had a fantastic experience! The house is beautiful and has been nicely restored. The neighborhood is lovely and we were just minutes away from the downtown St. Louis wedding venue and event space. So thankful for the many happy memories we were able to make! Communication with the home’s management was also fantastic.

The house is charming with beautiful Victorian features, and this is the third time we’ve stayed here. But the management by Abodebucks falls short. Their vetting process involves repetitive acceptance of terms (first on VRBO, then by text message, then on the check-in form). Then there was the condition that trailers were forbidden in the neighborhood (which did affect us, as we had a trailer), but a camping trailer was parked across the street for our entire stay! We were also frustrated by the very inconvenient check-in (5 p.m.) and check-out times (10 a.m.). The house lacked essentials like Kleenex, hangers, foil, plastic wrap or food storage bags. It had too few drinking glasses and utensils considering the capacity of the house, and not a single pot holder. It was also a bit grubby, something that was obvious when we looked under the beds. But our real trouble was how they dealt with the bat that got into the house on the second night. Though they sent over maintenance workers, they weren’t able to remove it (they said that it was gone, but it showed up again on the next night!). They were also dismissive of our concern for rabies, and didn’t seem to want to follow health department guidance on bats. Their attempt to make it right through a refund (less than a third if you include the steep service fees) fell very, very short, considering how we tried to work with them during the stay and the trauma suffered. Be warned if you rent an Abodebucks managed property!

Property worked perfectly for our family Thanksgiving get-together. Only real problem we had was with the mattress in the first floor master bedroom. It was a disaster and needs to be replaced IMMEDIATELY. It has a big hump in the center and then sinks down on either side, had to sleep on about a 12" wide section at the edge. Otherwise a fun old house in a beautiful neighborhood, with a park nearby.

We came to STL for a short visit with family and to watch baseball and this house was perfect! It was spotless and the owner was very responsive. It was also about a 10 minute drive to the stadium, and a 5 minute drive to some great restaurants and parks. The neighborhood was very nice and we were able to walk to a playground and park very easily. Great for families traveling with kids.

Lovely Victorian with lots of charm on a quiet street in a nice neighborhood. 1.5 miles or less from the Art Museum and Botanical Gardens; central location provides easy access to everything. We felt safe the whole time. The property manager was friendly and made our stay painless. The large amount of bedrooms meant everyone got their own rooms, the kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast etc and the oversized dining room table was perfect for board gaming. The beds were very comfortable and everyone slept great! The bathrooms could use a little TLC (loose handles, grout past it’s prime etc) but everything worked and was clean enough to use. We didn’t use the outdoor space but there is a very cute little patio and a fenced in backyard. This house is great for larger groups, there is so much space! Our stay was exactly what we needed and we would book with this property management service again! One small suggestion for the property would be to add blinds to several of the main floor windows. The curtains were more decorative than functional. Overall a great stay, we would book again! Thank you!

I believe the house is a wonderful home that was built in 1896, 3story on a quiet street. And is a short drive to the downtown area. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this house.

Great house in an excellent location.

Pros: -beautiful old home with lots of interesting features -good location in a quiet neighborhood -close to downtown attractions -walking distance of nice park with walking trail -plenty of room for extended family group -comfortable beds Cons: - listing says two cars can park in garage but the only parking was on the street -none of the ceiling fans worked -the rooms on the upper levels were hard to get to a comfortable temperature -the third level was extremely hot and there was no bathroom on that level so the part of the family staying there had to go down a flight -the “chef’s kitchen” lacked many of the supplies we needed and while “family friendly” had no small cups/plates for kids -there weren’t even enough bath towels for each one of our party to have their own -we had to wash towels during our stay and couldn’t find laundry detergent although the listing assured us it was available -be aware check in is very late (5:00pm) and check out is early (10am) -price of stay almost doubled when service fees and extra charges are added in
