Notes from the host
Charming Tower Grove Flat
Charming, beautiful flat in the heart of Tower Grove East. Why stay somewhere else and fight traffic-just walk! The eclectic restaurants and bars on Grand Ave and Tower Grove Park are just down the street. Our flat is tastefully appointed, and features gorgeous hardwood floors and a full kitchen. There's one bedroom with a super-comfortable queen size bed, and our living room magically transforms into a cozy 2nd bedroom when you open the sofa-sleeper and close the french doors!
☆☆Tower Grove Two Highlights☆☆
☆ The Neighborhood ☆ Tower Grove + The International District☆
Take the short 5 block walk to Grand Blvd to sample the international cuisine and experience the eclectic bars of South Grand, or cross the road and take a stroll in the elegant 19th-century Victorian walking park known as Tower Grove Park. If you're here for tourism, then you've chosen the perfect location-it's a quick 10-minute (or less) drive to basically every other tourist destination in St. Louis: Soulard (Anheuser-Busch Brewery, historic district, dining/nightlife), Lafayette Square (historic district), Downtown (the arch/Laclede's landing, Busch Stadium, the Scottrade center, dining/nightlife), the Central West End (Cathedral Basilica, Forest Park, World Chess Hall of Fame, dining/nightlife), the Grove (dining/nightlife), the Hill (historic district, Italian dining), the Loop (historic district, dining/nightlife).
☆Bedroom☆
The cozy bedroom overlooks the fenced backyard and features carpeted floors, a comfortable high-end queen bed with high-quality, 100% cotton sheets, a full-length mirror, and ample closet space.
☆Living Room...and an Extra Bedroom☆
The sun-filled living room overlooks tree-lined Magnolia Avenue, and features beautiful hardwood floors, decorative lighting, bright windows, and a stylish sectional sofa. Larger parties will love that the living room magically transforms into a second bedroom. The sofa elegantly converts into a full-size bed by moving the ottoman over to form a rectangular platform and applying linens (provided on request). Set up the bed, close the french doors, and you have your own private second bedroom - you'll even have your own entrance! The living room is also equipped with a 32" flat screen Roku Smart TV with complimentary Netflix.

The full kitchen features a full-size refrigerator, stove, oven, dishwasher, and microwave.

☆Automated Check-in☆
Check-in is entirely automated! When you complete the booking we'll send you detailed check-in instructions and a keypad code that you'll use to open the digital lockbox and access the keys to the apartment.
☆Long-Term Stays☆
Unlike most other hosts, corporate housing is our specialty. We prepare our homes not just to handle the needs of guests staying a few days, but for guests staying for months or years. Not only are our homes better equipped for your needs, our long-term rates are among the most competitive available. Guests staying longer than 31 days will not be required to pay sales tax (saving an additional 17%), and will receive huge discounts on add-on services like pets and parking.
☆Parking☆
Tower Grove is a very popular neighborhood, and parking is somewhat limited, but don't worry! This booking includes a parking spot!
☆Pets☆
Bringing your furry friends? We're dog friendly! Our pet fee is $15 per night, per dog ($30 minimum). We allow up to 3 dogs with a weight limit of 60 lbs per pup. Pet fees are paid separately after booking, and we offer discounts for guests staying longer than a week! Just let us know the number of companions you'll be bringing with you when you checkout and we'll get you set up!
☆ House Rules / Refundable Damage Deposit☆
Most of our guests are incredibly respectful and kind, but occasionally we have guests who treat our home, our cleaners, and/or our neighbors with disrespect. We require all guests to agree to a simple list of reasonable house rules and to pay any associated fines in the event of violation of these rules, and to take responsibility for any damaged or missing items. To that end, we pre-authorize a refundable damage deposit of $395, and do not actually charge the card unless damages were incurred. Please familiarize yourself with our house rules in the rental agreement when you check out.
☆Cancellations+Alterations☆
Travelers who cancel at least 30 days before check-in will get back 100% of the amount they've paid. If they cancel between 14 and 30 days before check-in, they'll get back 50%. Otherwise, they won't get a refund.
The same policies also apply to alterations, with the amount of the refund being applied to the new dates. If the alteration just extends an existing reservation while retaining the original dates, there are no cancellation fees – you just pay for the nights you’re adding.
We sometimes receive requests for additional refunds beyond those already offered. We understand that there are many valid reasons for needing to cancel or alter a reservation, so rather than acting as a kind of judge for the validity of each case (and in fairness to our guests who do not ask for special treatment) we highlight and clearly explain the terms of our cancellation policy here to make sure it’s understood upfront and do not offer policy exceptions for any reason.
☆ More Great Listings ☆
We have other fantastic listings up now, so check those out too! Shoot us a message letting us know what you’re looking for (number of bedrooms and baths, desired features like backyard or patio…etc.) and we’ll get back to you with a list of beautiful available properties!
We ask that guests respect our space, our belongings, our neighbors, and our cleaning crew. We've prepared a reasonable set of house rules that clearly communicate our expectations, and reserve the right to charge fees to guests who violate these rules. By booking our place the guest agrees to the following rules, and agrees to pay the indicated fees (if applicable) in the event that one or more of the rules are broken:

At properties where pets are permitted, guests agree to disclose the correct number of pets they will be bringing to the apartment prior to check-in. In the event that the guest misrepresents the number of pets they are bringing (or neglects to disclose that they are bringing pets) they will be assessed applicable pet fees and an additional fee of $100. Guests agree to submit payment for applicable pet fees within 24 hours of receipt of request for payment. Guests bringing pets agree to the following additional terms:
Guests agree to keep pets off the bed, furniture, and carpeted areas ($100)
