The 2nd-floor apartment is solely for your use, you will not share this space with anyone. The entrance is through the rear door at the back of the property. We will send you an access code for the exterior door that brings you into an enclosed porch, and a key will be provided for your apartment on the second floor. All of these instructions will be sent prior to your arrival. Use this key for the apartment during your stay and when you check out, just leave it in the door for our cleaning person. My husband and I live next door and will more often than not be available if you need something! Otherwise we will leave a welcome binder that should cover everything you need to know about the apartment, including how things work, how to attach the trundle to the sofa for your 3rd & 4th guest. I try to answer all messages asap, but you can always refer to the binder or this site to answer most of your needs.

In addition to Forest Park we are just a few miles from Tower Grove Park, another large beautiful park noted for its beautiful an unusual pavillions that Henry Shaw commissioned at its inception. The city of St Louis has a metro-link and bus services nearby, but is not as convenient as taking an Uber or a Lyft. If you are driving, we are super close to all major highways. We have parking on the street in front and at the side of our property along Reber Pl. This side street runs along the park and the side of our home, so parking is always available here if the front is crowded.

Through the bedroom is the hall where the bathroom is located. At the end of the hall, the apartment opens to the kitchen and living room area. The balcony is off of the living room.
