1st Capitol Mansion - Suite 302

Easy to get to and close to everything. The place was very cozy and comfy, with a cool historic vibe that we all liked. It was a very pleasant stay for us.

Highly recommend staying at this property...clean, and cozy, and ended up being a great find for this first timer!!

I rushed to find a booking for a trip and seriously lucked out that this unit was available. Everything was excellent, from the patio to the pillows to the shower.Thank you!

We reached out to John to inquire about extending our stay by one night. Although it took some time to hear back, he was very kind once we connected and offered us a discount for the additional night. The home is in a great location—an easy walk to downtown St. Charles—and the house itself, including the detailed woodwork, is beautiful.Unfortunately, we were disappointed by several issues upon arrival. There is a hole in the living room ceiling, possibly from an old heating vent, with peeling paint around it. The towel bar in the bathroom was broken, and the lamp in the bedroom is damaged and won’t stay upright. Many of the blinds in the VRBO are broken and need to be replaced. The bedroom would greatly benefit from blackout curtains, as the streetlights make it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.Additionally, one evening the people in the unit below were cooking, and the horrible smell filled both our room and the entire building. I reached out to John to ask whether there was an apartment beneath ours, where someone could be cooking; however, I did not receive a response. This was our second stay at this VRBO, and while there are things we truly enjoy about the property, I’m not sure we will book again unless these issues are addressed.
