Getaway for the boys to Side Project Brewing 10 year anniversary
We had a great stay at Maravilla 1. Liz was very helpful before we arrived as we were planning our trip. The communication between us was better than any VRBO rental that I have stayed at for our trip. Liz was very quick to assist in the one problem we had while there. Our coffeemaker would not work. Liz responded to my emails quickly and was able to replace it with a brand new one before noon that day! The unit was very comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. It was very convenient for the places we were planning our activities for our trip. The welcome packet was very well prepared and included a LOT of info for St Louis and the surrounding areas for food and entertainment. Overall a great place to stay!

Comfortable and great location
We stayed a long weekend for a family wedding, the location was central and east access to all areas of the city and county. The house was nicely furnished and equipped - we used the iron!

Great for families
Great stay! Toddler friendly, and the downstairs suite is well insulated for sound (so no one else was up with the newborn)! Responsive and accessible hosts. Walkable neighborhood with a great coffee shop— Sweet Em’s. Would definitely book again.

Lovely, cozy feeling property in a pretty, leafy neighborhood. Nice spacious, layout feels like home. The king sized bed was like sleeping on a cloud. So comfy!

Great place!
Our family of 6 (including in-laws) decided to take a mini getaway. We decided to go to St.Louis to see our beloved Cubs play. The house was clean and accessible to everything we did. The zoo was a 5min drive. The other places like Busch stadium, Aquarium at Union Station, the City Museum, Galleria mall, and restaurants were no more than 15min away. The house is located in an area called Dogtown which was very quiet and family friendly. Great place to stay at!
