Comfortable, great location, responsive host
Rupinda's apartment was a great location for me, cool in the hot weather, and plenty of space. He was friendly and responded quickly when I needed a new lightbulb, an iron, then an ironing board. The not-so-good: Quaint--unit and old house need some work. Not a lot of natural light. Bathroom is small, needs work. Many outlets but most are so old that plugs don't fit. But it was fine for my needs. Thank you, Rupinda!

Fair
The property could use a little improvement. I expected more for the money. The reviews made it attractive so we gave it a try. The bathroom was small, and due to the design I had to lean over to use the toilet.There was a coffee pot full of mold. I contacted the property manager who apologized and took care of it. Not what I anticipated

Cozy retreat in wonderful neighborhood
You can’t beat this house for its proximity to public transportation, Macalester College and charming neighborhoods! My only caveat is that this 3rd floor space has very narrow stairs with a tight turn on the 2nd floor landing. Folks with bulky hard luggage might find it awkward to maneuver those stairs.

Good place
Very comfortable place and nice to have the generous treats, food and beverage available.
One suggestion: the listing should mention the stairs which were fine for me but challenging for others of my age and older.
Thanks, Rupinder!

great quick stay near Mac
Can't beat the location if you're doing something at Mac. near campus and some shops and restaurants. good communication.
We enjoyed our stay here. The home is older and full of charm, so if you’re looking for something more modern, this might not be the right fit. For us, it was perfect. Rupinder’s communication was very good. We were able to check in early because of our morning flight, and were greeted with some chocolate. We had everything we needed, including a very comfortable bed with great pillows and linens! We will definitely try to stay here when visiting the Twin Cities in the future.
