Gem on the Hill!

Words can’t express how amazing this adorable VRBO is, or how fabulous the neighborhood is! The home is so clean, decorated cute, and has everything in it to make it homey. We thoroughly enjoyed coffee on the porch and drinks on the back deck. It was so fun to walk to the nearby restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and bakeries. A wonderful Catholic Church is also close and it was so enjoyable walking to Mass Sunday morning. Very safe and quiet neighborhood. We would 1000% stay here again and can’t recommend this place enough. Additionally, Lisa was so easy to work with and responded immediately to any questions. Hope we can return some day!

Great place in The Hill

We have been coming to St. Louis quite regularly while our son attended college at Webster University. Found this gem a little late, but loved the location and the home. We will definitely stay again. Walking distance to so many quaint Italian restaurants and a bakery. Quick drive to local attractions too.

Happy on the Hill

This Property was outstanding, clean, comfortable, great lighting, kitchen utensils and a fantastic welcome basket for us and our dogs. This is one of the best VRBO's that we have stayed in that also considers all that you need for your dogs. The location was awesome, walking distance to everything you would need or want to sample & enjoy the "Hill" in St. Louis. Can't wait to stay again.

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!
