ABOUT THE SPACE
Experience the excitement of urban living in this chic, modernized studio in the heart of St. Louis' Central West End. This converted retail space is bathed in natural light and features 30-foot ceilings, large windows, and modern amenities for a comfortable, unforgettable stay.

Just steps from your front door are some of the best locations in St. Louis for sightseeing, dining, and entertainment. Forest Park, the site of the 1904 World's Fair, is just a short walk away from tree-lined sidewalks. You'll also be just minutes from the St. Louis Zoo and other great attractions. The CWE neighborhood offers a diverse and exciting selection of restaurants. From St. Louis-style barbecue to deliciously inventive tacos, everyone will be able to find something to love. If you want to venture out of the neighborhood, this home is conveniently located near Interstate 64, providing direct access to downtown St. Louis and more.

JZ Vacation Rentals has remodeled this former retail space into a one-of-a-kind studio. The Central West is one of the locations in the country where every home has a unique floor plan, and this vacation home is no exception. The elegant open-concept design bathes the unit in natural light, while the modern finishes perfectly juxtapose the enduring St. Louis charm.

The gourmet kitchen invites the chef to try their hand, with full-size stainless steel appliances and plenty of counter space for meal prep. A separate dining table for 6 will make your guests feel honored.
The spacious living room offers a leather sectional sofa to accommodate additional guests. It's the ideal spot to curl up in front of the flat-screen TV for a movie marathon. Alternatively, it's just as lovely to curl up with a book, journal, and a cup of tea for some quiet time.

Need to catch up on work emails? You'll love the petite WFH nook, nestled in the crook of the bay window, offering a birds-eye view of neighborhood happenings. A comfortable king-size bed is dressed in premium linens to ensure restful sleep. The bedside table and lamp are welcome for those who like to read a few pages before drifting off to sleep. Long-term guests will particularly enjoy the full-size washer and dryer tucked conveniently in a closet.

THE LOCATION
Whether you are in town for family or friends, the St. Louis area has plenty to keep you busy. This St. Louis home is in a prime location just minutes from all the best attractions!

If you're traveling with kids, be sure to check out The City Museum. It's not quite what you would expect from a “museum” per se, but it has been voted a must-see destination in St. Louis. Let's not forget our most famous attraction here in The Gateway to the West. You will be a 5-minute drive to the St. Louis Arch and downtown.

Are you a baseball or hockey fan? Busch Stadium, the home of the St. Louis Cardinals, and Enterprise Center, the home of the 2019 Stanley Cup Champion St. Louis Blues, are both within a 10-minute drive from this home. Be sure to catch a game because St. Louis has some awesome sports fans!

Maybe you're looking for a romantic night out? Be sure to check out The Hill for great Italian food or head over to the Central West End for live music and cocktails at Scarlett's Wine Bar.

Lastly, Forest Park has a little bit of everything for the outdoorsy person! Dine at the boathouse, rent paddleboards, get a tee time at The Forest Park Golf Course, and see some animals at the Saint Louis Zoo! This is the largest city park in the country (yes, it's larger than Central Park in NYC), so there is plenty to explore.

PET FRIENDLY POLICY
We also welcome pets as part of the family, but to maintain cleanliness and comfort for all guests, we implement a pet fee of $75 per stay. Guests must notify us in advance if they plan to bring a pet; a maximum of two pets are allowed per rental unit. Pet owners are responsible for any damages caused by their pets, and adherence to pet-related house rules, such as leash requirements and waste disposal guidelines, is required. By booking with us and bringing a pet, guests agree to comply with these terms. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

THE JZ DIFFERENCE
At JZ Vacation Rentals, we strive to provide an exceptional experience to every guest who walks through our doors. All properties managed by us undergo a 150-point Guest Standards inspection to ensure brand consistency and comfort across our entire inventory. The last thing we want is for you to have to run straight to the store when you first arrive. We offer 24/7 guest support and utilize smart technology to ensure you will be walking into a safe and clean home.

Each home is provided with the following:
- A fully stocked kitchen (crockpot, toaster, coffee, dishwasher, microwave, and stove)
- Pack and Play and high chair for those traveling with children
- Washer and dryer, laundry detergent, iron, and ironing board
- Toilet paper and paper towels
- Shampoo, hairdryer, make-up wipes

LOCAL BOOKING POLICY
To ensure the best experience for all our guests and maintain the integrity of our home, we do not allow reservations from guests who reside locally (within the same city or surrounding area as the property). This policy has been implemented due to an overwhelming amount of local bookings, unexpected birthday parties, gatherings, and a large number of unconfirmed guests in our properties. To prevent further incidents, we are enforcing stricter screening for local reservations. If you are a local resident looking to book for a special circumstance, please reach out before booking. Unapproved local reservations are subject to cancellation.

Disclaimer: For the safety of our properties and our guests, we require guests to verify their identity and check their criminal background to confirm a reservation. When a booking is created, a verification link from Guest Ranger will be automatically generated and sent via text message. To complete your reservation, you must follow the steps provided by Guest Ranger.

Great location, clean, but still disappointing

This is a perfect location in the CWE and a clean apartment. Yet there are so many small things the owners could do to make it a nicer stay: a larger bed with sheets that fit, a couch that isn't ripped and mended with duck tape, tea and decaf coffee options (not just caf), creamer, instructions on premises for setting the thermostat & logging into WiFi, a fireplace that works, etc. Also, the space is so huge that a queen or king sized bed would make for a much nice stay and there's plenty of room for it.
