Great stay on the Hill
Nicely decorated with plenty of accommodations and extras...even snacks for my fur baby. So pet friendly - blankets for the furniture, towels for dirty paws, extra poop bags. Loved the stay!

Christmas on The Hill
Our stay at the Heart of the Hill during Christmas was amazing! As native St. Louisans we were thrilled to return to the vibrant Hill neighborhood. Its central location near The Missouri Botanical Garden, Forest Park, major highways and delicious restaurants and coffee shops (within walking distance)was perfect. Our host Lisa was very accommodating especially on Christmas Day. The home is lovely with updated bathrooms, wood floors, and top of the line kitchen appliances. The parking pad in back was an added bonus. I highly recommend staying here when visiting St. Louis!

Amazing Location/Best Property Manager
This is the absolute cutest house I've stayed in. It was so clean and adorable. The Hill is a fantastic neighborhood and the location of this house puts you in walking distance to all the best spots for coffee, food and drinks! The property manager answered all messages promptly and worked with me on dates and check-in. I would love to come back to this spot again!

Perfect St. Louis Stay!
This house has everything you need for a relaxing stay in St. Louis. The house was clean and had everything you could ever need to survive the week including some extra things that made the kids smile. We did not have any pets but it was pet ready as well. The neighborhood is super safe in the Italian district. There are restaurants on EVERY CORNER and they are all amazing. There is a playground right by the house that we went to every day to play. It was a very quiet neighborhood. We will definitely stay here again!

Loved the character of the home, it was tastefully decorated and walkable to great Italian food! Thank you for having snacks and not requiring us to prep the clean up! My yorkie loved the long hallway for zoomies! 😆

Perfect location and layout
Very thoughtfully decorated space; clean, nice layout, with an effective a/c! My husband and I thought it was perfect for us and our dog—nice little fenced in yard area. The location cannot be beat—walkable to all of The Hill, and nice to have designated parking in the back of the house. When we rented, we didn’t even realize it had two full baths—what a bonus! Highly recommend!

We stayed one night to see a show at the fox theatre. Not only was the house in a great neighborhood and not far from downtown, the host was impeccable! They have so many small touches in the home that show you they take pride in making you feel at home. She also let me check in early and answered all of my questions quickly!

Went to St Louis for a quick family trip away for Spring Break. The location of this property was really nice for a young family as lots is within walking distance (coffee shop, gelato, family dining, and parks). The property was very clean and well taken care of and Lisa quickly responds to communications. I would gladly stay here again!
