Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in East St. Louis

I never write reviews - but this host went above and beyond on numerous occasions. Communication was the best I’ve ever experienced - and I highly recommend The Stay and the property.

This place was great for our visit to WashU. It was spacious, trendy, comfortable and clean. The building had a lot of cool spaces and amenities that we didn't get a chance to take advantage of but I would encourage others to save some time to utilize. It is an extremely walkabout area, right next to the park and a quick drive for us to WashU. Urus was accommodating to our early arrival which is always appreciated.

This was a fantastic stay! We rented the unit for 10 weeks and had no problems with the apartment at all! It was clean, homey, and had everything that we needed for our stay. What made our stay a 5 star stay was Tucker! He went above and beyond to make sure everything was going smoothly for us. He replied to any questions we had and helped us with anything we needed. The apartment is SO nice with a wonderful gym and pool deck. The staff at the apartment complex are kind and welcoming. The building is secure and quiet. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We do recommend getting covered parking for an additional cost for a longer stay.

This is an excellent property. Highly reccomended!

Zoey and Mike were great to communicate with. We had a couple things we needed to have taken care of and they were very responsive and accommodating. The neighborhood was safe and the homes were well kept. It is a very convenient location. Zoey was accommodating adding extra nights due to soccer traveling and advancing to finals.

Henry is just as amazing as the space and will make you feel right at home! I 1000% would recommend this space to anyone looking for a laid back stay in the Soulard area!

Tricia was a wonderful host and her place was perfect! Zero complaints or issues. We will be booking this cute little apartment next time we come to town.

This apartment was conveniently located and had a lot of nice amenities in the building, even though we didn’t have time to take advantage of them. Check in and out was so easy. I would stay here again the next time we’re in town.

The house was nice and the fence in backyard is why we booked this house. Having 3 bedrooms is nice and having 2 bathrooms was great when you have multiple people. The washer and dryer is always a plus because you never know what you'll run into while traveling. There were tvs in every bedroom. The host was friendly when we needed to communicate. Late check out is available if needed and we took advantage of it. There was room to park two cars in the driveway. You could see some of the planes taking off and landing from the airport from the backyard.

Kimberly's place was very clean, cozy, and comfortable, and the house had everything we needed. The location was very quiet with little or no traffic noise, nice neighbors, and was just a couple of easily-walkable blocks to the historic main street of St. Charles, with lots of great shops and restaurants. It was also a very short drive to the Streets of St. Charles with many more shops and restaurants. Also, Kim was a great hostess, and I'd highly recommend this house!

Beautiful home and met up with some friends that all went to school together. We had a wonderful time reminiscing about our home town memories, funny school stories and growing up tog ether. We all cooked together in the spacious kitchen and watched the beautiful sunset. Spacious bedrooms for everyone and then spent the morning together before heading back to our daily life. Planning on doing this wonderful weekend together again at this location.

Our stay in Ballwin overall was amazing. Unfortunately there was a power outage 20 minutes after we checked in that lasted for over 30 hours. Obviously we did not know that the outage would last this long or we would have secured a new place. We did not need to secure a new place because the weather was perfect for enjoying the homes’ yard and the outdoor grill was perfect alternative. Jackie was attentive and highly communicative during the entire outage. She even offered an option for us to shower at another property of theirs and gifted us gift cards to a local breakfast establishment. We will definitely be back. The home was everything it promised even with the power outage.

Artur was very accommodating, kind, and also responded in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this place!

This home is incredible. It was extremely clean and super cozy. The perfect place to relax and unwind. The hosts were VERY responsive and super communicative.

Home was perfect for our family get together of 8 people. Very clean, and had all the amenities you could think of. Very responsive. Had a bed that had an issue and it was fixed the same day. Very close to all the attractions we were in town to see. Loved the garage space for parking.

One of the best stays I have ever experienced! A friend and I work as travel nurses and decided to book this place. There was an error when we booked and Michelle was super helpful about helping us get it booked anyway. The place is BEAUTIFUL and in a fabulous, safe neighborhood that is close to everything we needed. Honestly, I don’t even think the pictures did this house justice. We had to reach out a couple times over our 3 month stay, and the response was so quick! We actually tried to extend our stay, it just wasn’t available. I would definitely book here again or any place with the same host. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
