With all the charm of a southern provincial Victorian estate in the heart of STL, this solar-powered, recently renovated 130-years-young home boasts a low carbon footprint! A spacious wrap-around veranda overlooks flowering terraces; while the interior offers abundant common space (2 kitchens, sunroom, dining, living, deck, grill). Private rooms come with personal TV, DVD, and guest accounts for Netflix, Hulu, Prime, and HBOnow. Organic raised bed garden in back. Adjacent to YMCA (with pool). The space Spacious room (second floor) with window AC unit, for personalized climate control. With the feel of a European hostel, we have guests from all over the world. The 1st and 2nd floor provide two lightly stocked kitchens where you can snack on anything that is not labeled with another guests name. There are two bathrooms with renewable bamboo toilet paper and other toiletries. Ample common space, both indoors and out (dining room, living room, sunroom, veranda). Towels, linens, fans, space heaters, cleaning supplies and hospitality items are provided in the room. Guest access Your room is private and the two bathrooms are shared but have a locking door for privacy. All other rooms are shared. Apart from the private rooms, guests will have access to a full kitchen on the first floor, as well as an efficiency kitchen on the second. Living room, dining room, sun room, full (shower/bath) bathroom on second floor, 3/4 (standing shower) bathroom on first floor, and the foyer are all available to guests 24/7. Outside, guests can enjoy the wrap-around veranda, backyard deck, grill, raised bed vegetable/spice gardens, and native flowers. This listing is not for the entire house; it is for one of the five private rooms. Other things to note Since there are 5 other guest rooms in this facility, the other guests deserve the quiet enjoyment of their stay. Each room is listed with the maximum number of allowed adults. Additional adults are not allowed for both day-time and night-time. Violators will have their reservation cancelled without refund. With health concern everywhere... Did you know… The safest place to sleep is between the sheets: suitcases and backpacks can transfer their germs to the bedspread or chair. (note: there is a suitcase caddy in the closet) I use a disinfectant on all handles, knobs, remotes, light switches, keypads, chair tops and countertops to keep the germs at bay after every checkout. I am usually a chemical free environment but with an abundance of caution I do use chemicals in some spots. I have tissues (made from bamboo) available in almost every room for sneezes and coughs (please be considerate of other guests). If you miss the tissue or your elbow, disinfectant wipes are in the kitchen and stairwell. We strive to provide a safe environment to be enjoyed by all. Let me know if you have other healthful suggestions.
