The treehouse was as charming and lovely as the pictures make it out to be. Very very conveniently located on the St. Charles streetcar line, making it easy to get around town. The host was incredibly responsive, and check-in was a breeze. Stocked fridge, snacks, and complimentary coffee shop visit were a nice perk. The stairs were not difficult at all. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay -- so much so that half of our party decided to stay on for one extra night, and our host was kind enough to accommodate.
For those traveling with children, please note the following:
- There is a portable crib (pack 'n' play) and highchair available. Just ask. This saved us the trouble of hauling all our baby gear up the stairs. They also have an air mattress for the big kids.
- The "sitting area" with couch is actually located inside the larger bedroom, so when the kiddos go to bed, there's no real hang-out space for the grownups other than the small kitchen table. Not a huge deal, but just something to be aware of. We were two couples traveling with kids, but this shouldn't be an issue for others as long as whoever has the big bedroom doesn't mind also providing the hang-out spot.
