Quaint & historic little place. Had exactly everything we needed & well located for what our travels were for. Hosts were always quick to response & were friendly in our conversations. Should my travels bring us back-we will stay here again. Highly recommend!

A gem of a place. Beautiful space with such a wonderful restoration of the old brought into the new. It was spacious and clean. I loved that we could do our laundry there as we were on a lengthy trip. Communication was quick and as needed. The upstairs guests arrived late (10:30pm) So, while I understand that they needed to settle in, the noises (of a usual older house...creeking floors and water running etc) could have been an issue. But thankfully they settled in quickly and we were able to sleep well. Just be aware that you will hear noises from above. But it really was not a huge deal!

The location was perfect! Easy to get around all of St Paul. Restaurant options close enough to walk! Very easy to communicate with Austin and Elizabeth ~ always responded immediately. Very comfortable and homey. Loved the space and location! I will definitely return! Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience.
