This was the perfect little spot for my family to stay! The property is in a quiet neighborhood with plenty of local eateries close by. Being less than 10 minutes from downtown St. Paul was super convienient. The house is full of charm, clean, and family friendly.Having laundry machines provided meant we went home with more clean laundry than dirty, which was so nice! Most kitchen essentials were provided, which made cooking meals ezpz. The host was great with communication and checked in regularly to see if we had everything we needed. Would absulutely reccommend!

The house is 100+ years old but has been lovingly kept and upgraded! Hosts are amazing and provide everything you’d need except food and your toothbrush! House is in an older quiet neighborhood but restaurants are a short drive or even walk away!

Charming Place in St. Paul

I stayed here for a week with my teenage daughter, and we both loved it. It’s very charming and spacious. The kitchen is very large, and there were two bedrooms for privacy. It was in a great location and near everything we wanted to do. I highly recommend it!
