Located close to the Soulard fun with a private feel. Centrally located, historic neighborhood with a private parking spot. My 1 bedroom is in a central location within a short walk of a grocery store, Walgreens, local farmers market, and the bars/restaurants in Soulard. It's also located along the historic Route 66 highway which extend from Chicago, IL to Santa Monica, CA. The apartment has a fairly standard layout for a 1 Bdrm Soulard apartment with the living space and kitchen separated from the bedroom and bathroom by a long hallway. It conveniently separates the two spaces to reduce noise in the event multiple people are occupying the apartment. The living space has two sofa sleeper sectionals in a conversation pit arrangement. The sofa sleepers are easily converts to two side by side queen size beds. Just slide the coffee table toward the TV and pull the sliding section under the main sofa cushion forward using the fabric handles in the middle. Once the moving section is pulled forward lift up on the fabric handles to lift the remaining part of the bed section to be level with the rest of the sofa. Repeat the process for the second sofa sleeper. Additional linens and pillows can be found in the hidden stow area below the chaise sectional cushion by pulling upward on at the foot of the cushion. Finally prep the bed and you are ready to sleep or just Netflix and chill on a huge party bed. There is a small entertainment system in the living room. It has a Roku smart TV. The TV is linked to my Hulu, Sling, Amazon Prime Movie and Netflix account in addition to other content. Behind the sofa in the living space is a small work table perfect for a laptop. If you articulate the TV mount out from the wall and sit at the desk you can cast your computer to the TV to make a good impromptu workspace... either that or just sit on the couch. Next to the desk is a raised dining table that accommodates two people seated. The kitchen is a galley style and has the essentials you will need to prepare a meal. The pots and pans can be found in the lower cabinet to the left of the stove. Various type of drinking glasses can be found in the upper cabinet to the left of the stove. Utensils can be found in the pull out drawer to the left of the stove. Dishes can be found in the upper cabinet to the right of the stove. The ice machine has been acting up lately and may not be creating ice. The dishwasher at the moment serves as a drying rack and needs to be replaced. The bedroom has a queen size adjustable bed. The remote can be found on the night stand. The bathroom is accessed from the bedroom. The place will comfortably sleep 6 people between the queen bed and two queen sofa sleepers. The apartment resides on the 1st floor in a 4 family building that was built in the 1880s (no ghosts to my knowledge). The building has been recently rehabbed. Access to the apartment is at the back of the building up a short flight of stairs. There is a front door to the apartment but due the lack of street parking out in front of the building the front door has minimal use. Three parking spots are available directly behind. Additional off street parking is available in the alley or on a well lit street (Tucker St.) just up the block. Please consult the parking guidance image provided in the listing photos. The building resides on a quiet block isolated from the rest of the Soulard madness. There are a few vacant buildings across the street that are part of a failed development plan during the last housing crisis. Most were purchased by the City of St. Louis land acquisition department in preparation of sale to the developer. Unfortunately these buildings are awaiting a new development plan and make the area look shabby. Please G00gle Maps Street View the intersection of Tucker and Soulard (the closest intersection to the building) to see if it meets your sensibilities. I'd prefer you not book my apartment if you are going to give me a negative location review. Again the area is safe and I would have moved long ago had I believed it wasn't.
