About this condo rental
Situated in southwest garden, this lovely condo for $115 per night is a great choice for your next break. See our other listing, Rooms with a View II, 2239467, (in the same building but not adjoining) to rent together if additional space is needed. Our cleanliness rating speaks for itself but during a crisis like Covid 19, it is the most important consideration in choosing your home away from home. As always we maintain the highest standards and have added extra care in sanitizing throughout for your safety and peace of mind. Covid 19 Information: Rest assured your home away from home has been prepared for your safety during your stay with: • No contact check in with digital lock. Enter on your own with code provided • Cleaning and sanitizing throughout with special attention to high touch surfaces • Special sanitizing laundering of linens For your convenience, we provide hand soap, hand sanitizer for your use during your stay. VRBO suggests guests consider leaving shoes at the door if possible. We are committed to your safety, taking every precaution in cleaning and sanitizing our property for your stay and we thank you for your confidence. In the near future we hope you will choose our place to stay whether you are attending a professional sporting event or sightseeing the many St. Louis attractions nearby, attending a concert or show in the Grand Center (our theater district), seeing a medical professional at BJC, Siteman, Childrens' Hospital, Shriners or at St. Louis University Medical Center, St. Mary's Medical Center or Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, are here for a wedding at St. Ambrose, visiting the Immigrant Statue or visiting your child at one of St. Louis’ many excellent universities. In the meantime, you can immerse yourself in one of the nation’s few remaining authentic Italian-American settlements, known as "The Hill." The Hill is a long-established Italian-American neighborhood with family-owned delis, sandwich shops and bakeries on Marconi Avenue, and trattorias, pizzerias and upscale Italian eateries dotting the streets around Shaw and Wilson avenues. The “Italian Immigrants” statue stands outside St. Ambrose Catholic Church, and locals gather to play bocce at Milo’s Bocce Garden across the street and in neighborhood parks. Enjoy the food, wine, dolci, bocce and charming atmosphere from the convenience of your sweet perch overlooking the neighborhood’s newest project, the Piazza Imo. Lime bikes and electric scooters can be found but walking is the preferred mode of transportation here where everything you could want is literally at your doorstep in this safe and friendly community. This lovely new apartment in an historic building is located in the true heart of the Hill. The second floor entrance is accessed from an indoor staircase to the apartment on the right. A shared deck overlooks the neighborhood's new Piazza Imo, with a magnificent fountain, gardens and chess tables with sycamore trees. Enjoy morning coffee or a gelato downstairs at the Gelato di Riso (shortened winter hours in January and February) or have a beverage on your deck with the piazza view, reminiscent of an Italian square. At the foot of the stairs you will be a few steps away from our historic Italian Immigrant Statue, St. Ambrose Church, bocce garden and family friendly neighborhood pub, and pizzeria on our shared corner, and more within a few blocks. An easy walk in this safe neighborhood to countless Italian restaurants, deli's, bakeries and shops make it a place to relax and make memories. Schedule a tour with one of our local tour guides to enrich your experience (see contact information below). Wander a little farther as you will be only minutes away from Busch Stadium, the Arch, Union Station and Enterprise Center. Ten minutes to Powell Hall and The Fabulous Fox, Washington University, St. Louis University. The perfect apartment for parents' weekends, graduation and other events. Five minutes to the Missouri Botanical Garden and the famous and free St. Louis Zoo and Forest Park. Special events take place at all these locations and some happen right outside your door like the Italian Heritage Day Parade and Festa, Christmas on the Hill, La Festa, and The Giro della Montagna (3rd professional and amateur cycling race of the Gateway Cup) among others. A king size bed with high quality mattress and linens in this quiet neighborhood make for a restful night’s sleep. There is also a day sofa suitable for smaller children and a pack n play with linens for these available on request.

We had a wonderful weekend. A five star experience. The property was so nice and clean. The decor and furnishings were so cozy and comfortable. Everything was amazing from the views in the courtyard to the quiet neighborhood which was a nice area within walking distance to many nice restaurants. The check in and communication with owners went very smoothly. We greatly appreciated the fact that we needed to change the dates of our stay and they were accommodating. Plan to book again

The property was easy to locate and the parking lot was immediately outside of the residence. The interior was exactly as pictured. A comfortable king bed with extra available comforters. Was definitely within walking distance to several restaurant and bakery choices. The neighborhoood was quiet and very respectful. Very nice to enjoy some gelati at the marble fountain located immediately to the rear of the property. Overall, a very good choice for a weekend getaway.

This was a delightful place to stay. It was comfortable and had everything needed for a nice get away. It was relaxing and quiet.

What a great vacation! Quiet, tucked away in a great neighborhood. It felt like staying in a small town, but right in the city. We would stay there again! Comfortable amenities and perfect size for the two of us.

We were more than happy with our stay! It had everything we needed and was very clean. The reserved parking was so nice.
The location couldn’t have been better because you’re so close to so many restaurants, bakeries, and the gelato shop is literally right underneath you. We enjoyed sitting in the piazza in the evening.
Would 10000% recommend.

It’s a great location! In the heart of the hill. You can walk to so many great places there a restaurants and shops all around. I do think the space could use a real place to sit in the living area. The futon sort of couch is a little low, and could be more comfortable.
A small place to have a washer and dryer as well as wonderful. We will definitely stay there again.

My friend who grew up on The Hill insisted this was the property we should book. I'm glad I listened to her. The location couldn't be more perfect. It's in the very heart of The Hill, across from gorgeous St. Ambrose's church (gotta love those church bells) and right next to the piazza. The local, Italian-themed decor is lovely, and we had everything we needed. It's right over a gelato shop (Joe, the shop owner, was very welcoming), and we could walk to all the restaurants. It's also close to all the St. Louis attractions. The owners were very responsive. I would definitely book this place again on a return visit.

Location, space, amenities--all perfect. Right in the heart of The Hill, a charming area with Italian flair. The accommodations were clean and well appointed. Lovely touches all over the place from the accent items to the throw blankets in each room. TVs is both the living/dining space and the bedroom. All the kitchen basics you need, including coffee and tea. We were very pleased.

We enjoyed spending Christmas on the Hill at your property. The accommodations were exactly as listed; the bed was comfortable as was the futon in the living area. We really appreciated the time Debbie and Joe took to place holiday decor around the apartment. It was lovely to look over and see the Santa figure. My son enjoyed it and mentioned this was the first time we had holiday decorations at a VRBO. It was nice to have a washer and dryer within the unit.
We enjoyed dining at the local restaurants and standing in line to buy cookies at the St. Louis Baking Co. and Vitale's Bakery. The plaza right next door was beautifully lit during our stay. The residents of the Hill were all very friendly and welcoming. We spent two days in doors due to the -7 degree weather and still managed to enjoy the gelato from Gelato Di Riso.
We felt like we centrally located to all the local attractions; more importantly we were near our family. We could have stayed a few extra days- I apologize for the delay in submitting the review- we got caught up in the Southwest fiasco.
Thank you for sharing the Hill with us; we look forward to staying with you again.
