Location, location, location: this apartment certainly has that going for it, as nearly all reviewers have noted. St. Louis Hills is a beautiful neighborhood, and the view of the north end of Francis Park is fantastic, especially in springtime.On arrival, everything was reasonably clean (except that the coffee maker was left with used coffee grounds inside). The mattress in the master bedroom is comfortable.Beyond these positive features, however, the apartment is rather dark, populated with a random collection of furniture and equipment, and in need of updating. For instance, there's a large variety of lamps, not all of them working, and none of them providing enough light for comfortable reading.Communication about the apartment's features, rules, and procedures through the VRBO website is limited: no specifics about check-in or check-out, for instance. There is a binder with somewhat more detailed printed information in the apartment.Specific problems during our stay included inability to connect devices to WiFi on arrival, fixed after the owner restarted the router. There was also a lightweight shower curtain liner with a large hole and tears along the top that tended to float toward the person in the shower once the water came on, causing it to stick unpleasantly to that person.To sum up: it's an adequate and comfortable enough unit with potential to be so much more with a little updating and attention.
