Great way to enjoy St Paul!
Great bottom duplex with all the amenities of home! Perfect for our family of three as a home base while enjoying all the attractions St Paul. Off street parking space was a huge bonus during a late season snowstorm. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend for a low key, relaxing stay. Neighborhood is safe, quiet, and convenient.

Perfect for a Mall of America Spring Break trip!
It was very clean and the trundle bed was perfect for our kids. The hosts are so communicative. We thought it was a fantastic value!

Great location
We were in town for a Minnesota United FC game, and this place was perfect! We were 10 minutes from the stadium, a jucy Lucy burger, donuts, you name it. Beautiful home with enough room for our family of 5 not to get on each other’s nerves. We will definitely be looking to stay here again next year!

Great location!
My family loves staying at this property. It was extremely clean and the location was wonderful. It was close to all the places we visited. The property owner also had great communication. If we are ever back in the area we would happily stay at this location again.
