Our cleanliness rating speaks for itself but during a crisis like Covid 19, it is the most important consideration in choosing your home away from home. As always we maintain the highest standards and have added extra care in sanitizing throughout for your safety and peace of mind. Covid 19 Information: Rest assured your home away from home has been prepared for your safety during your stay with:

• No contact check in with digital lock. Enter on your own with code provided
• Cleaning and sanitizing throughout with special attention to high touch surfaces
• Special sanitizing laundering of linens

For your convenience, we provide hand soap, hand sanitizer for your use during your stay. VRBO suggests guests consider leaving shoes at the door if possible. We are committed to your safety, taking every precaution in cleaning and sanitizing our property for your stay and we thank you for your confidence.

In the near future we hope you will choose our place to stay whether you are attending a professional sporting event or sightseeing, attending a concert or show in the Grand Center (our theater district), seeing a medical professional at BJC, Siteman, Childrens' Hospital, Shriners or at St. Louis University Medical Center or Cardinal Glennon, or here for a wedding at St. Ambrose, visiting the Immigrant Statue or visiting your child at one of St. Louis’ many excellent universities.

In the meantime, you can immerse yourself in one of the nation’s few remaining authentic Italian-American settlements, known as "The Hill." The Hill is a long-established Italian-American neighborhood with family-owned delis, sandwich shops and bakeries on Marconi Avenue, and trattorias, pizzerias and upscale Italian eateries dotting the streets around Shaw and Wilson avenues. The “Italian Immigrants” statue stands outside St. Ambrose Catholic Church, and locals gather to play bocce at Milo’s Bocce Garden across the street and in neighborhood parks.

Enjoy the food, wine, dolci, bocce and charming atmosphere from the convenience of your sweet perch overlooking the neighborhood’s newest project, the Piazza Imo complete with fountain, benches and chess tables. Lime bikes and electric scooters can be found but walking is the preferred mode of transportation here where everything you could want is literally at your doorstep in this safe and friendly community.

This lovely new apartment in an historic building is located in the true heart of the Hill. The second floor entrance is accessed from an indoor staircase to the apartment on the right. A shared deck overlooks the neighborhood's new Piazza Imo, with a magnificent fountain, gardens and chess tables with sycamore trees. Enjoy morning coffee or a gelato downstairs at the Gelato di Riso (shortened winter hours in January and February) or have a beverage on your deck with a piazza view, reminiscent of an Italian square. At the foot of the stairs you will be a few steps away from our historic Italian Immigrant Statue, St. Ambrose Church, bocce garden and family friendly neighborhood pub, and pizzeria on our shared corner, and more within a few blocks. An easy walk in this safe neighborhood to countless Italian restaurants, deli's, bakeries and shops make it a place to relax and make memories. Schedule a tour with one of our local tour guides to enrich your experience (see contact information below).

Wander a little farther as you will be only minutes away from Busch Stadium, the Arch, Union Station and Enterprise Center. Ten minutes to Powell Hall and The Fabulous Fox, Washington University, St. Louis University. The perfect apartment for parents' weekends, graduation and other events. Five minutes to the Missouri Botanical Garden and the famous and free St. Louis Zoo and Forest Park. Special events take place at all these locations and some happen right outside your door like the Italian Heritage Day Parade and Festa, Christmas on the Hill, La Festa, and The Giro della Montagna (3rd professional and amateur cycling race of the Gateway Cup) among others.

A queen and full size bed with high quality mattress and linens in this quiet neighborhood make for a restful night’s sleep. There is also a pack n play with linens available on request.

Enjoy a well stocked kitchen with apartment sized dishwasher, stove and full size refrigerator and washer/dryer. Basic spices (from our neighborhood Italian stores and imported from Italy), of olive oil, coffee, tea and staples, initial stock of paper products, laundry and dish soaps provided along wireless internet, TV in the front bedroom and living room for streaming your favorite shows with your own account, a DVD player, games and books. See our more detailed list of what we provide below so you can travel light and carefree with the comforts of home and enjoy our pristine, well appointed, cozy, comfortable and so convenient little haven.

Great location on the hill! The apartment was very clean and comfortable. We stayed for 2 nights to go to a Cardinals game and to eat at Charlie Gitto's for my son's bday. Very convenient to the ballpark and walking distance to Charlie Gitto's and other restaurants on the hill. Would definitely stay here again when visiting St. Louis!

Christmas on the Hill
Didn’t know our long weekend was Christmas on the Hill. What a great surprise, balcony overlooking the park was great for watching Santa and kids, Church across the street was roasting chestnuts. All the stores were bustling and in the evenings all the local stores had a Christmas Market which really nice. Location of rental was in the heart of everything. Parked our car in private lot on Thursday and never moved it, restaurants are amazing and a must is a hot salami sandwich at Gioia’s Deli (wow).Gelato downstairs excellent, coffee shops great. Oh did I mention bakeries! One piece of advice, forget your diet if you go to the Hill

This is the perfect place to stay in St. Louis. It was decorated for the holiday, super clean and has private parking which is very important while staying on the Hill. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked and the deck is a great place to enjoy a glass of wine. We look forward to staying there in the future.
