Historic Soulard 2BR Apt with Fenced Patio, Washer/Dryer & Free Parking

The property is on the cusp of great. Cosmetic flaws and lack of quality repairs gives the property a half kept feel. Needs better cleaning. There were dead flies and visible dirt on rugs and floors. It lacked common amenities like dish towels, salt and pepper for example. The linens were sketchy. The mattresses were foam blocks. The living spaces cleanliness made you question the bedding cleanliness. We had no toilet paper in the downstairs bathroom and didn’t realize we had an upstairs for how the property is rented but the property manager communicated promptly and was working to have some delivered before we found 1 roll in the upstairs bathroom and we could use. The listing says FREE Parking which is true but it’s on a first come first serve street side that surprised me. If the cosmetic repairs and cleanliness upgraded this would get 4 to 5 stars. It’s located in a safe location walking distance from nice restaurants and short driving distance from most attractions. We would consider staying here again in hopes our suggestions were considered. The price we paid didn’t match the property for how it is present day but could if a touch more TLC was put back into the property and some cleaning upgrades. Kudos to the property manager for being accessible when needed.

Don’t bother. The unit is far nicer inside than the exterior of the property is and it was very clean. But the temperature inside the unit never rose above 63-65 degrees in early November. Rather than instruct us on how to make the thermostat work properly, the property owner or manager tried unsuccessfully to manipulate it remotely. They finally offered to bring room heaters over, but we didn’t want to be disturbed during the late evening. Also bathrooms were not stocked with soap, shampoo, or conditioner. Management company AI phone responder initially said they were supposed to be stocked but later said these “essentials” were not supplied, even though unit profile did not so advise. Furthermore, shower door on nicer/bigger shower is hung improperly so it does not close, leaving water to spill out onto bathroom floor. And door to one bedroom sticks so that the corner of the face of the door is in danger of peeling off. Lone tv in living room appeared unable to get any live tv shows, such as news. Parking is on street only. That said, unit was clean and kitchen was well stocked with contents of cabinets well labeled.

Location, Location, Location. If you want to explore Soulard, this is the place for you!! Walk to farmers market and many bars and restaurants. The apartment its self was good. The courtyard could use some attention. There were no games as listed and the fence to courtyard needs fixed. The apartment was clean but could tell the floor need a different kind of cleaning agent. They were sticky from a swifter or cleaner or something. We had to wipe the tv down in order to see the screen because it was streaked. The laundry room was a disaster. I have stayed in many VRBO’s and I don’t want to complain but the beds were so HARD, The shower were amazing, good water pressure. My only complaint was we didn’t have a fan as we were told was in the apartment nor did we have any wash cloths. I’d I had known, I would have brought my own, a fan is a must for me.Other than Those minor inconveniences, it was perfect for us to explore and it’s Very close to the stadium!!
