This location was great on Main Street. The AC was a problem though. It was 78 degrees when we arrived Friday & didnât go down to 72 until we left Sunday. The host came to look but kind said itâs old, sorry. Understandably itâs a historic building but with the temperature outside over 100 it was miserable. The upstairs bed was very squeaky. Luckily we didnât need it but if youâre at 6 ppl max..thatâs tough itâll keep everyone awake if you move in the slightest. There was a âwater boil orderâ that was enacted Thursday & host didnât inform us which isnât right since we drank water Friday from the Tap. While order isnât host fault not telling us is. The loft was Very clean & host were communicative but wouldâve liked the system turned on for us well in advance to avoid 2 days of a hot apartment. Overall okay, if AC was working properly Iâd consider rebooking.
Everything was clean and extra items in the kitchen was wonderful. The kitchen ceiling fan needs adjusted it shakes a lot when on high. One of the beds upstairs the headboard makes alot of noise too. Besides that the place was wonderful.
My husband and I had a wonderful time in St Charles. The property was clean and in the perfect location. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The coffee shop under the property makes great coffee and was never loud. Will stay here again!
This is a comfortable place in an amazing location. Lots of shopping and restaurants within walking distance. The river is just a block away and has a long trail. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen is a bit small but manageable.
It is listed 1 bed downstairs. 1 futon downstairs 4 beds upstairs. We found the futon in the living room to be different and less quality version of what is photographed. Also no linens for this futon so not usable as a bed.We also found the seating in the dinning area had enough chairs. But the quality of chairs was not great. We did not feel comfortable sitting and chatting in the space. The listing does state the temperature must stay at 72. While that didnât sound like an issue, we found the temperature upstairs was so high it was uncomfortable to sleep. There are ceiling fans but not enough airflow to make it comfortable. We went in May. I would have to assume itâs unbearable in August. Parking is noted as available. There is one parking space for this unit. All other streets are 2 hour parking only. This particular weekend the whole street was closed for a market. Per the host they donât ticket so just park anyway. Just be aware if you are bringing more than one vehicle you may be searching for a safe place to park. In the listing it mentions being above a coffee shop and there may be some noise. What it doesnât say is the coffee shop is open 10 am to midnight. After they close the employees sit out front on the sidewalk and have a party. Friday it was late before they left, all on motorcycles. Saturday we had to call the police to ask them to leave at 2 am. I find it hard to believe the host had no idea this was excessive.
We have stayed at this loft the past 3 years. My sister and I love to stay here when we spend the weekend on our annual shopping trip to St. Charles. Gloria is a great host with a great location.
Loved shopping the old historic street with fun shops and farmerâs market on Saturday morning. Lots of helpful touches, like blackout curtains to the street. It was stated that there was street noise from the coffee shop but it lasted til about midnight on Friday. Burned out light bulbs in main level bathroom made it hard for 5 adults to get ready for a wedding. So glad there was a second bathroom with adequate lighting. Reading lights in bedroom could not be used because cords were missing. No one had the type of cord. Kitchen well stocked. Good use of space.
We enjoyed our stay here. Very nice easy location to walk to everything. We did not know the coffee shop below would be open past midnight so it was a little disturbing to walk back after the bars to find people sitting in front of the door. Luckily the noise didnât bother us!
21 stairs to the room was a bit towering for 65+ adult. There was no hot water in the kitchen after letting it run for several minutes. Street noise on Friday and Saturday nights was a bit loud. However, the cleanliness and amenities were perfect.
