Old North Shanty/ Historic 1888 Brick Home Near Downtown St. Louis

This was perfect for what we needed

Place was clean and we had plenty of room. We had no issues, however the neighborhood is most certainly not great. Outside of that fact everything was just fine and the place is definitely big enough for a larger group.

Overall all, very nice stay

Very Beautiful home. Only complaint would be the random insects throughout the home. I would stay again.

The house and host were amazing!! The house was so cute and clean and had everything we needed! Check in and out was easy. The host responded to us right away and even let us check in a little early since we arrived early. The location was not what we had imagined. The first night there were multiple gun shots and shell casings in front of the house and every night there were people walking up and down the street being super loud at all hours of the night.

It was very cozy and comfortable. Everything was clean and the instructions were very clear . The neighborhood actually wasn’t bad at all . Overall, this was a wonderful stay . I’ll most definitely book this house again for a getaway.

This was a good stay overall. An older house with some minor AC issues, but really just related to the house’s age. Overall comfortable beds and a good experience. Our only “heads up” we would offer is research the neighborhood first. When I read “historic” I thought old houses that had to be kept up to maintain a historical landmark status. Nope. This area is abandoned houses and businesses with boarded windows and looks a bit sketchy. We felt decently safe in the end, but my wife and kids would have preferred a different area if possible.

Although this property and host was nice, the location of this house is a NO. I was not diligent in researching the area, and I implore you to be if you are considering staying here.The crime rate of Hyde Park is more than 450% higher than the national average, 750% higher for violent crimes (according to the FBI in 2024).Timeline of the events that occurred the night we stayed here: 10:00 pm Multiple gun shots11:00 pm More gun shots 1:00 am More gun shots and fireworks 10:00 pm - 12:00 am Helicopter flying over the neighborhood 11:00 pm - 1:00 am Street racing 2:42 am Smoke detector goes off for no reasonDog barking across the street Quiet hours are after 10:00 pm, per the hosts informational booklet. My husband was up the entire night to ensure we were safe. When I messaged the host about these events, she stated that “everyone’s definition of safety was different.” Although I do agree with this statement, gun shots do not make anyone feel safe. Again, I implore you to do your own research about this location before choosing to stay here.

We had a very unconventional stay because tornados had come in the evening of our 1st night and power was out. The host did everything they could to make sure we were as comfortable as possible. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. We were close by everything we wanted to do and overall had a great stay. We would stay here again any time we are in the area.

We stayed here for just one night on our way to town. Melissa was very responsive to all messages. The smoke detector had a low battery alarm that was beeping, and within 15 minutes, Michael arrived to fix it.

This property was very clean . We had everything we needed. The location was very close to the downtown area.

Communication was great. Host made sure everything was all set for us. Even allowed a few extra guests. This property and owner deserves every coin in your pocket!
