Book your 5⭐️ stay in this spacious 2 bedroom/1 bath suite in the desirable DeBaliviere neighborhood. Only a 2 block walk from Forest Park & its Metrolink train stop, your group will have access to everything the city has to offer. This 100 year-old historic home is only blocks from Forest Park, the site of the 1904 World's Fair.
UPDATE: On May 16, 2025 the Forest Park area was hit with a mile-wide tornado. Our building had minimal damage and maintains 100% occupancy. Some of the buildings along our street suffered roof damage, broken windows and uprooted trees. The city has cleaned up and the area is getting back to normalcy.
"Suites in the Lou" offers 6 private short term rental suites in one building - great for a large group which may want to all stay in one place. Walkable to Forest Park, the Metrolink train stop, the Delmar Loop, restaurants, and shopping. These can all be found online at "SuitesintheLou". To see our other suites, go to my PROFILE page for a listing of all our accommodations in the same building.
This 2nd floor 2-bedroom/1 bath suite sleeps 5 guests. Enjoy a king bedroom for you plus a second bedroom with a queen & twin bed.
After stocking the refrigerator, cook up a family dinner and enjoy it around the table in the large eat-in kitchen. Other amenities include:

Need to get around town? Metrolink, buses and quick access to Forest Park Parkway and I-170 makes it easy.

Great stay in the city
A great apartment in a fantastic area. I wish we were there more than two busy nights to take fuller advantage of the walkable area, Metro and Forest Park. The apartment is beautiful and tastefully decorated. We both slept great, both nights. I look forward to returning and seeing how this cool neighborhood continues to recover from the tornado.
Older property with nicely updated kitchen and bath. It was clean and well kept. Locations excellent next to Metro and Forest Park. We hope to return soon!
Our first time to the area. We found it very easy to get places quickly- local spots to eat but also major spots like the zoo, the Arch, the Science Center...enjoyed a quiet stay here as well.

Good location
I really liked the location very quiet and peaceful. Also the secured parking lot was a plus too. The house was clean and had everything you need.
We needed a place that would accommodate our young family plus a pup that was in a safe area and that was clean. We were so happy with our stay! The table was big enough for the 6 of us to gather for dinner, and the accommodations had everything we needed. Definitely recommend for families!
We enjoyed our stay! We had a great experience. I liked having the parking lot. It made it much easier to get our kids in and out of the car without having to worry about road traffic.

Perfectly located home away from home
My family and I really enjoyed the home. There is easy access to the building from the front and from the back staircase which leads to the gated parking area. It is on a great street that makes walking to Forest Park and the Loop easy. Inside, the kitchen is well equipped, the beds are comfortable, and the living area is cozy.
We came up for my husband’s surgery. It was convenient getting to the hospital. Clean and tidy. It Had everything we needed. Comfortable beds. Full kitchen. The host was most gracious. We would stay there again.
Accurate description, good location, good communication, cozy & full of character
Communication with and directions from owner were very good. Apt was just as described. Nice location near Forest Park and an easy drive to DT St. Louis. Apt was well-equipted for our 1 week stay for myself, husband, and 2 boys (5 &8). Needs were VERY comfortable, as were pillows!

Lovely time
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Suites in the Loo as we were close to so much. From our walks over to Forest Park. To our trips to Union Station and Ballpark Village. Even out to Six Flags. It was a grand time in the Loo.

Exactly what we needed
This was a perfect place to stay for our short visit in St Louis. Location is ideal and very close to Washington University. Plenty of room to sleep and unit had what we needed. There are two short flights of stairs to climb with luggage, but nothing too bad. I would absolutely rent again if the need arises. Thank you!
This suite was absolutely perfect for our family and three small dogs. The neighborhood is absolutely beautiful and very dog friendly. We would definitely book again. Suite was well maintained, beds were comfy, common area was great as well. The secure parking in back was great as well. Parking on the street is ok as well. We saw security driving thru several times during our stay. A+++++
I don’t know what our kids were picturing knowing it was 100 years old, but they walked in and were so impressed. The apartment was clean and well maintained. Directions were easy to follow and problems we ran in to were out of the landlords control and she communicated well with us through it.

Good price, great location!
We enjoyed our stay in STL. Great location near the entrance to Forest Park and close to Metro (bus and train). It was just big enough for our family of six. The building is old and with that comes some concerns (uneven floors, chipped paint, wonky door knobs) but we enjoyed the character of the place and neighborhood. Especially for the price! I would suggest looking elsewhere if a member of your party has mobility issues or is very young (less than 4) But it was great for us.
The host was very helpful communicative with details about checking in and out. Amenities like coffee and paper towels were perfect for our short stay! Location was exactly what we needed for visits to the zoo and Forest park with lots of fun restaurants nearby. We can't recommend Clementine's vegan ice cream enough! It's not the host's responsibility at all and we're used to extra noise with kids, but there are some pretty barky dogs in the building during the day.
