This condo is in the heart of St. Charles old town. I stayed here for 8 days and could not have been happier. Excellent response by host. The walking access to breakfast/lunch/dinner restaurants , bars and speciality shops is amazing.

Nice stay, great location
Overall property location was great. A few items need to be addressed to improve overall experience. 1. Washing machine is leaking 2. Overall fixtures are loose and towel racks need to be tightened ( we had to carefully hang towels) . 3. The top step into property is dangerous due to lack of support/ wood rot and several times our children almost fell due to instability of step. 4. Ground floor bedroom sheets were dirty and stained upon arrival.

Location!
The place was in an excellent location. Morning jog/walks along the Katy Trail, coffee stop at the Bike Cafe basically out the front door! Only thing to note is the only bathroom is off the living room, so maybe something for the modest but for our group it was a source of comedy. Beds were comfy, and place was clean. Would stay again! Host was super helpful as well!

loved this spot
we have been coming to St. Charles since we dated and love this spot. Our last visit, a few months ago, was at the spot above the eye doctor on main street. Both are fabulous. Thank you !
