Peaceful Stay

I appreciated being greeted by the hosts each day. I appreciate the accommodations that were made for my pet and I. Hygiene and cleaning supplies were available if I needed them. I had plenty of privacy. The neighborhood was quiet and very easy to navigate. Parking was my only complaint, but that had nothing to do with the hosts. It’s just something to be mindful of if you plan on staying in the area. I didn’t realize how popular the area was.

Great location!

This small cottage is a short drive to Forest Park and walking distance to many Italian restaurants, delis, and bakeries. It is stocked well and clean. The only issue was that we could not get the Wi-Fi on our phones. The owner could not assist and took a long time to respond. Overall, a great location for all activities at Forest Park and great food.

Perfect size and location

I rented this cottage as it was so close to St Ambrose Catholic Church for my daughter’s wedding. I dropped off the wedding flowers there, and asked the owners to set the thermostat perfectly for them to stay fresh for the following days event. They honored my wishes and were extremely kind. The newlyweds stayed there the night of their wedding and it was the perfect size and location of the venue LaVerona.
