Wonderfully decorated, centrally located to lots of wonderful things to see but bring your earplugs!

This apartment is in a brownstone just down the street from the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis which is not to be missed. It's very near the wonderful Missouri Botanical Gardens and many other terrific sights in St. Louis. It's very centrally located so it doesn't take long to get anywhere. The apartment is very tastefully decorated. The owner has included many extras like a computer and printer and a great shower-head in the bathroom with thick towels and wonderful linens. The beds are great as well. She also included fresh-ground coffee for us. My only complaint (and it's a big one) is the noise!!! The apartment is on the ground floor and very close the front door of the building and people are constantly coming and going and unfortunately the front door slams very loudly each time it closes which awakened us each time someone came through. The streets are also very busy and there are two bus stops right on the corner and we could hear their air-brakes constantly and people's music blaring while they were stopped at the light. So bring your earplugs!

Owner's Response: We usually don't respond publicly to reviews, as we prefer to let our guests have the final word. We thank this guest for all of her kind words!
However, we must point out two things: Had we known, we could have adjusted the closing mechanism on the building's front door. In fact, this already has been done, as this lovely guest told us in a private email after she left that this had bothered her. If only we knew, we could have taken care of this right away. As we tell each and every one of our guests, if there are any noise or maintenance issues, please contact us immediately. We are not mind readers. We cannot fix what we don't know about.
Second, a gentle correction: The Fremont (home to the Jessie Benton Suite) is not a brownstone, but a seven-story high-rise apartment building.
No question: The "Jessie" sits on the corner of one of the most urban intersections in the entire metropolitan area. If being in the middle of city life is not something that appeals to you, please look elsewhere.

We went to the St Louis area for a vacation to visit our son and stayed at the Jessie Benton at the Freemont.The Jessie was absolutley beautiful and had all the comforts of home. Karen was a wonderful and caring hostess and had tasty goodies waiting upon our arival. We could not have expected anything more, everything was exactly as presented. This is surely a place we will visit again!

Great Apartment, Filled with Charm, Lots of Extras

My husband and I arrived and were greeted immediately by the friendly Karen. The apartment was the perfect size for two, and we felt like we were at home right away. We set out in the neighborhood and found most things we needed were within walking distance. The parking was super convenient, and we had all of the amenities we needed. We cooked dinner in the kitchen both nights and had all of the bowls, pans and utensils we needed to make a feast. The place was charming and had THE BEST bed ever. The neighbors can be a little bit noisy in the hallway- so bring earplugs if you plan to sleep in! We had no issues with the space at all. It's old, it's charming, it's got character-but also a HUGE TV and comfy couch. You'll wish your home was so cozy.

Central West End Apartment
Submitted: February 12, 2013
Stayed: February 2013
We spent a long weekend here. It was convenient to our daughter's apartment, and we enjoyed the well-appointed suite. There were lovely snacks and coffee provided that were chosen for us. We had a small blip in our stay, but the hostess took care of it in a generous way. This is a great value; much better than staying in a hotel. The suite was well-maintained, clean and the pictures are accurate. It is right off the lobby, so if you are a light sleeper, you may want to choose another space. I would recommend this to my friends.

Great apartment that's close to attractions, highways, stores and our sons! We came up to be with our sons and families for Christmas & loved the apartment! Karen met us & was so kind in having everything ready for our stay. It was wonderful to come back in the evenings after being on the go for most of the day and relax in a cozy, warm 'home'. The beds are the most comfortable we have ever slept on & are actually looking into purchasing one after inquiring about them from Karen! There is no doubt we will be back!!

My wife and I spent 3 nights and were very happy with our stay. We walked every place we wanted to see in Central West. It was great to immerse in the neighborhood and branch out from the Jessie. Foodie restaurants, Scottish Rite and Salt were blocks away, movie lovers can and must take the longer walk to the Moolah (Loved it!) Apt was well stocked with tons of extra touches, snacks and drinks. Bed was very comfortable. We meet Karen at check in and her energy was intoxicating, she was very helpful getting settled with plenty of tips on places to check out. We just scratched the surface on our stay and had a blast.

The bed and pillows made it the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. . The kitchen was stocked with wonderful tea's, coffee and snacks I would have never tried. They are now on my list of foods to purchase and enjoy. The location was close to everything I wanted to visit and much more. Karen, one of the innkeepers has to be one of the kindest persons I have ever had the chance to met.
