Eveything was in great condition..very nice kitchen and the beds were very comfortable. we would definitely stay at this property again.The location was great...an easy walk to the brewery and bella vino and the many shops on Main Street.
This condo is in the heart of St. Charles old town. I stayed here for 8 days and could not have been happier. Excellent response by host. The walking access to breakfast/lunch/dinner restaurants , bars and speciality shops is amazing.
Title says it all. We were traveling to St. Charles to visit family and experience the Historic District of St. Charles during the holiday season. This property is right on South Main Street and we were able to walk everywhere. The place itself is a nice mix of historic feel, with some original wood flooring and staircase, mixed with an updated kitchen and furnishings.FYI, it is in the upper level of the building, so there are some stairs for initial access, and additional stairs to one of the bedrooms. There is a restaurant on the 1st level of the building, which sent some wonderful aromas up into the rental. We ate there once and it was excellent.We will definitely stay again if make another trip to the St. Charles area.
The place was in an excellent location. Morning jog/walks along the Katy Trail, coffee stop at the Bike Cafe basically out the front door! Only thing to note is the only bathroom is off the living room, so maybe something for the modest but for our group it was a source of comedy. Beds were comfy, and place was clean. Would stay again! Host was super helpful as well!
we have been coming to St. Charles since we dated and love this spot. Our last visit, a few months ago, was at the spot above the eye doctor on main street. Both are fabulous. Thank you !
The home was lovely. The neighbors in the unit next door with the dog they left all day for 2 days, not so great.
Thank you for responding quickly to texts and providing us a great place and location to stay. We still have a great time despite the dog issue.
Overall property location was great. A few items need to be addressed to improve overall experience. 1. Washing machine is leaking 2. Overall fixtures are loose and towel racks need to be tightened ( we had to carefully hang towels) . 3. The top step into property is dangerous due to lack of support/ wood rot and several times our children almost fell due to instability of step. 4. Ground floor bedroom sheets were dirty and stained upon arrival.
Loved the location in the historic downtown. Property was adorable and convenient to everything. Living room furniture was a bit uncomfortable but overall an enjoyable time.
my family stayed the weekend of halloween for a soccer tournament. The apt itself was adorable and great for our family. However there had been a lack of deep cleaning, fair amt of dust on blinds, bathroom fan, etc. food and beer left in fridge from previous stay. Not moped in a while I would say. linens and towels were clean. Loved the plants and all the white. I did notify the owner and he offered the cleaning service to come back, but since we we there and didn't want to have to work around that especially with our pup along we declined. It's on beautiful historic mainstreet, a very charming and sweet place. noisier at night than I would like, but I didn't think about it being halloween when I booked either. There is an excellent restaurant just a few mins walk away, Salt and Smoke was amazing! We enjoyed walking mainstreet at night and checking out the stores. Many do close at 5pm though FYI. We would look at staying here again in the future!
We recently stayed here for a 3 night getaway & everyone in the family loved it. Check in was very simple & the property managers were fast to respond to any questions we asked. The beds were comfy & the kitchen was perfect for our time there. The location could not be beat. We walked to bakeries in the mornings & dinners at night, not to mention the proximity to all the shops! Would definitely stay here & recommend to others!
Place was really nice. Jeffrey gave very clear check in instructions. The only concern I had was with the living room furniture. It was very uncomfortable. I spent the evenings in the bedroom bc it was more comfortable. When friends were over we sat in the living room but everyone commented about the lack of comfort.
A fabulous location within feet of all the shops and restaurants that make this town so much fun to visit. The property itself was oozing with old world charm. Plenty of modern amenities and a funky floor plan.
The property owner responded in literal seconds when we had a minor issue with the door lock upon our arrival. He was never intrusive but available to help if we needed anything.
Great spot. We will be back.
This rental is the most conveniently located property you can find on main street for a full Downtown St. Charles experience. I would love to come back in the spring/summer/fall and rent a bike (located directly across the street) and hit the Katy Trail. This spot allowed you to check back in throughout the day if you needed a break from holiday shopping and it was quiet at night. The nightlife in downtown St. Charles is pretty early, however, there are some nice locations a few blocks down that looked like it would be fun to visit (if I didn't have my kiddos with me) for some adult wind down time! But what was nice, it was down a few blocks--perfectly easy walking distance, but super quiet for those of us back and "in for the night." The beds were very comfortable. Everything was clean and as pictured. Just a cozy, clean, convenient spot to enjoy your time in St. Charles! I have to mention that everyone was SUPER friendly. Every store and place to eat we visited (pretty much all of them) had the nicest and most helpful people working! I can't say enough how polite and kind everyone was the entire day! I hope to come back and explore more parts of St. Charles that I didn't have time to get to and I would book this location again in a heartbeat!
