Arrival Information

  • Check-In & Checkout Times

    Unless we have confirmed other arrangements, check-in is any time after 4 PM, and checkout is by 11 AM.

  • Parking

    Parking is free on both sides of the street in front of the Cambridge (the building that is home to the Oliver), except during street cleaning times:

    —Second Wednesday of each monthfrom 8:30 AM to noon on the building side of the street, and

    —Second Thursday of each month from 8:30 AM to noon across the street.

    If you park on the street in front of the building during street cleaning times, you will receive a parking ticket.

    If you can’t find a free parking space, there are metered spots nearby. Metered parking is free every day between 7 PM & 8 AM, and free all day on Sunday. Outside of those hours, pay via the Park Louie app.

    St. Louis Parking Company has a surface parking lot around the corner at 435 N. Euclid Avenue.

  • Transit

    The Oliver is a delightful 20-minute walk from the Central West End Metrolink station. Metrolink serves Amtrak, Lambert Airport, Busch Stadium, and a number of other St. Louis destinations.

    Coming From Lambert Airport: If you have heavy luggage and/or don't want to walk from the Central West End station, you have a couple of cost-effective options:

    --Take the 95 Kingshighway bus NORTHBOUND from the Central West End Metrolink station to Kingshighway & McPherson (ask the bus driver to tell you when you are at that intersection). Walk one short block east on McPherson to the Oliver.

    --Call for an Uber or Lyft to pick you up at the Central West End Metrolink station. The driver will pick you on on Taylor Avenue just west of the station, and have you to Oliver in a few minutes.

    Here is a link to Metro St. Louis.

    Pro Tip #1: For real-time transit info in St. Louis and more than 100 other cities, download Transit App on your smart phone. Authorize a credit or debit card on your Transit App and you'll be able to buy fares in St. Louis. If you are traveling in on Metrolink from Lambert Airport, you will pay the local fare, not the airport fare.

    Pro Tip #2: The real-time transit info on Google Maps and Apple Maps is a fantastic resource.

  • Keyless Entry for the Building's Front Door

    The exact address and keyless entry code is emailed to you three days before your arrival. If you reserved the apartment on Airbnb, you will receive this information at 8 AM on check-in day via your Airbnb message thread.

  • Heating & Cooling

    The Oliver has radiant steam heat via the building's central boiler. When it's cold outside, the radiators will get hot during scheduled runs. The boiler's runs are set according to how cold it is outside.

    Adjust radiators for either more or less heat by turning the knob on their side. For more heat, open the knob up. Close the knob to stop heat to the radiator.

    You have total control over the wall-hung ductless system for air conditioning (and supplemental heating, should you need that). In the bedroom and living room, use the wall-hung remote controls to adjust the ductless system for that room.

  • Television

    Login to any streaming services to which you subscribe like Netflix or Hulu. Logout before you leave. Local stations are available with an antenna attached to the television.

  • Black Facial Cloths

    You'll find them in the bathroom. Use them for makeup or anything that might cause staining.

  • No Smoking

    Smoking is not allowed in the apartment or anywhere on the premises. Please step out to the public sidewalk to smoke or vape.

  • What To Do With Our Laundry

    No need to strip the bed. Place all used towels and linens in the laundry basket.

  • Where To Take Trash

    You'll find bins for trash on the second floor fire escape. To get there, go into the hallway and walk around the corner. The fire escape will be behind the first door on your right.

    Be sure to prop the inner door open with the stop, so that you don't get locked out.

    Sorry, at this time, we do not offer recycling.

  • Oh no! I've locked myself out of the building.

    "Oh no" is right. Please don't let that happen. Keep your front door key to the building with you when you are out and about.

    If you lock yourself out, call 314-367-1106. If the office is closed, call the emergency number listed on the message service. Here's the let-in fee schedule:
