Underwhelming

Areas for improvement 1. Curb appeal - trim bushes, sweep dead leaves away, plant flowers in pots instead of using them as ash trays 2. Musty smell - every time we walked in, there was an extremely strong musty basement odor. We bought a can of air freshener but it didn’t help much. 3. Internet - the coverage was inconsistent, requiring disconnecting and reconnecting 4. Quiet hours - the guests who checked into the upstairs unit on Saturday did not abide by the quiet hours. 5. Cleaning fee - taking the trash out should be included in the cleaning service that we paid for6. Furniture- the couch is shabby and there is water damage on the ceiling near the window. The location is good. Overall, our stay was adequate but we won’t return. .

Perfect location

Came to do the tourist things. Perfect, affordable place to stay with our dog. My son slept on the couch with no issues. No problem finding street parking nearby. Felt very safe in the area as a single mom. Only picky complaint would be to have a little more in kitchen. A big bowl would be nice. We made a salad one night and made it in a saucepan to mix it. Very limited silverware.

Great Stay

Our trip started with is getting a call the day before our arrival saying they had to move us due to water damage in the first floor unit. They were very helpful and responsive in finding a new place for us. They ended ip moving us to the second floor unit and it was very modern and clean! Everything about the stay was great. Location is awesome, 10min from downtown was the perfect distance away for a quiet trip. The location felt very safe, I even accidentally left my trunk open over night and everything inside was still there in the morning. Would highly recommend

Empeccable Studio

This place is beautiful, inside along with the surrounding neighborhood. It is exactly as seen in the pictures. Watch for the slight step up, separating the bedroom from the kitchen. The stacked washer and dryer made life easy. The only thing preventing a perfect rating: spotty internet service. Even after the cable provider came to service it, it failed again the next day. All in all, would stay there again.

A few day stay

We wanted a clean and restful visit to St. Louis. The trip was a success. We love STL for its many attractions that are either free or affordable. We slept well in this studio. The bed was comfortable. The shower was nice and hot. The apartment building was very quiet. The neighborhood was charming and it felt safe to walk even after dark to the different shops and restaurants. This part is for JZ Rental’s benefit. The coffee maker had not been cleaned for a long time. Too dirty to use. The shower drain was slow. We had a nice time. Thank you very much!
