Northrup STL - Cozy Family Cottage on The Hill

'Brendens place was very comfortable and quiet. The neighborhood was nice with a great selection of restaurants that were very close. The kitchen had ample counter space to prepare meals, there were enough pots and pans to cook most any meal. The appliances were new and clean. The beds were very comfortable and everything worked as it should. Our family of four had plenty of space to spread out and have our own area and not feel like we were cramped. The backyard was nice for our dogs to run around and play. I saw some reviews that complained about the chipping paint in the bathroom but let me say this, its a house that is 100 years old! They have renovated about every square inch of it and its just a tub! It still very clean and we didnt mind it one bit. You can still see some of the original fixtures and hardware but I think that adds the historical charm that we really liked. I would absolutely stay again if we come back to St. Louis without hesitation!'

'We stayed at this cozy cottage on the hill during a family dance competition weekend, and it was perfect! The home is full of charm, comfort, and thoughtful touches. Located in the heart of St. Louiss Italian district, we loved exploring local bakeries, delis, and especially DiGregorios Italian Market. We picked up fresh ingredients and had a blast cooking in the well-equipped kitchen. The dining table was great for meals and family games. Waking up to the smell of authentic Italian food we made the night before was unforgettable. The neighborhood was welcoming, peaceful, and rich in culture. The decor was lovely, and everything was clean and well-maintained. It truly felt like a home away from home.'

'Cute, historical home on a dead end street in a neat neighborhood. Its got charm and character, our family of five enjoyed our stay. Nicely furnished with comfortable bedding. Super close to all the attractions, we got to the zoo without even getting on the interstate. We will definitely look this place up if we come back to STL. We were a bit apprehensive about having neighbors so close but we didnt hear them at all in three days. The kitchen is pretty large with ample items to make your meals there. Backyard is peaceful.'

'We had a nice stay at Brendens in St Louis. Its a short drive to anywhere really (15-20 min), and there were tons of close by Italian restaurants (its in the Italian part of town). The house was nice and spacious. The kitchen was clean and well stocked. I especially appreciate that extra linens and cleaning supplies were available, and there were no annoying check out requirements.'
