Nice trip
The place had plenty of room. Was clean and street parking was easy, right in front of the place. Quiet area, maybe it is busier during the week. About 30 minutes from Mizzou driving down a open highway most the drive.

Fascinating history of a beautiful old home. Only here for a night but appealed to our historic interests. Beautiful structures on Capitol Ave - wish they could all be restored. Glad we had the chance to stay.

Comfortable, Convenient and Cool!
Parker's Place is literally steps from the Penitentiary and Museum. Both were quite interesting. The location is convenient to about anything. The king bed was luxurious and comfortable. Everything was clean and as described. The house and history were really cool! Be sure to use your phone cam to scan the QR code on the card on the table for history of Mr. Parker, as well as check out the books on the desk. We had our own bag chairs in the car and enjoyed using them to sit out on the oversized (shared) front porch when the rain came in. Be sure to look down the street to see the Capital lit up at night. It's beautiful! Places we enjoyed while in town: Oscar's for breakfast!; Sweet Smoke bbq; Last Flight Brewing Co.; Prison Brews (cool gimmick with good food) and Canterbury Hill Winery (outdoor dining).

House is right across the street from the State Pen for tours and the museum. Also right down the street to the State Capital. Very easy to find. Entrance is on the side of the house.

Relaxing Stay
Parker's place was a very relaxing place for our family to hang out! The apartment was very clean, and Kevin was very responsive and attentive. Parker's Place is very accessible to downtown Jefferson City. We were able to walk to several restaurants, and visited several downtown highlights, such as the Capitol, the Governor's Garden, and Adrian's Island. We look forward to coming back!
