Sam’s house made for a great last-minute getaway… it had plenty of space, was super clean, and was centrally located (quick walk from St Charles). Well stocked with essentials (toiletries, kitchen utensils, etc.) and towels/blankets. Our dog loved the gated front porch—the backyard is fenced in too but pretty overgrown with weeds. The house backs up to the highway but there’s a wall that blocks a lot of the road noise.
Fair warning: it’s definitely an older house in a gentrifying neighborhood. The shared wall with the duplex neighbor is pretty thin and we could hear most of their conversations and music playing. Also, we always felt safe outside and near the house, but several cars were broken into one block away while we were staying here, so I’d try to park close to the house. Neither issue really impacted our stay but might affect yours.
