Dogtown Cave Suite, Walk to Forest Park

This centrally located basement suite is the perfect spot for a visit to St. Louis or for travel staff. It is 10 minutes or less from major hospitals, downtown Clayton, and downtown St. Louis. Forest Park, one of the greatest urban parks in the country, is just blocks away and all attractions are free. With a kitchenette, full bath, and living room, you've got everything you need for an easy transition and comfortable stay. This is a wonderful basement suite with a private entrance. Windows in each room provide natural light. The added mood lighting and comfortable furniture, including a desk, futon couch, and TV stand complete the look to create a fantastic living room. The bedroom is next to the laundry area, and is partially finished with exposed ceiling piping and beams. The queen bed is extremely comfortable, with a memory foam encased coil mattress, and an 18" platform with space underneath for storage. The kitchenette includes a microwave, apartment-sized refrigerator with freezer, electric kettle, french press, induction cooktop, toaster oven, dinnerware, cookware, and dishes. There is a pantry shelf for extra convenience. *Please note that this listing has low ceiling clearance. Most of the area is about 6'4" and there are doorways that drop to 6'1". Best suited for people who aren't very tall.* You will have full access to the basement and the backyard. Relax in the hammock or grill out. I am available, as I live just down the street when I'm not traveling. I can give you all the space you need, or I'm around for advice about what locals enjoy to do in St. Louis. Do you want to explore one of the largest urban parks, Forest Park, by foot or bike on its over 6 miles of trails? Do you want to walk to the award winning U.S.'s best Zoo? See the stars at the St. Louis Science Center and Planetarium? Walk among Monet's and Picasso's at the Art Museum? From this quaint suite with one bedroom, a breakfast bar, living room with an office, and full bath, you can do all of that within walking distance, and it's all free! Start your day with breakfast provided by your hostess, enjoy sitting outdoors in the fenced yard, spend the day exploring all our city has to offer and end your evening at one of several restaurants or bars within the historic Dogtown Neighborhood, known as the Irish neighborhood of St. Louis and originally settled during the construction of the St. Louis 1904 World's Fair. Dogtown is very safe and welcoming. If you strike up conversation with locals at a nearby bar, you might just end up with new friends! Both major interstates (64 and 44) are within 1.5 miles. There are multiple bus lines within a couple of blocks that will take you all over the city. You can park at the Metrolink stop at Debaliviere & Skinker and access downtown all the way to the airport if driving is not your thing. The fuse box and furnace are located in the basement, so the host may need to access those in an emergency.
