Cozy getaway
I had a comfortable stay. I could explore the city during the day and come home later on to relax. Gerry was there to greet me upon arrival, making it easy to settle in. Plently of towels and snacks provided. Quiet area. Would stay again.

We really enjoyed our time here! Loved the decor and the spaciousness. The ceiling angles might be difficult for tall people to navigate, particularly at the kitchen counter, but overall it is a great find.

Fantastic Place!
We absolutely loved our stay here! We came into town for a concert and stayed a few extra days to explore the area. The property was clean and very quiet. They had extras, such as coffee, tea, bottled water, and granola bars. There was a small kitchenette. We didn’t need to use it, but It had an oven and stove. We did use the coffee maker and refrigerator. The beds were very comfy and the bathroom was spacious. We were excited that there was a floor length mirror. Many excellent tv options. We would definitely stay here again!

A quaint and quiet spot
I loved this neighborhood on the hill overlooking swede hollow park and Metropolitan State. A great spot for a quiet getaway. Nice and quiet and night too. Would like more pillows and more operable windows (bathroom especially) for some breeze. Make sure you identify where the lock box is (on the porch and around the corner when you come in the first door.) Overall very nice.

amazing
This was our third visit and we will be back again! The space is just so lovely, comfortable, and clean. Michel is so kind and creates a space that is so inviting, with all the comforts you need. From cookware, to coffee, and sweet treats and even a few bottles of water. The bedrooms are well decorated and the beds are very comfortable. We love being on the third floor with a great view of the park across the street. There is so much history about the area and Michel provides information in the suite about a lot of it. We can't wait to come back for another girls trip. Be prepared for a few flights of stairs but the work out is so worth it for the space. Thank you again for providing us such a comfortable, and clean space to relax and connect for our girls trip!

Hidden historic gem
If you have a love of old homes this is it. Nestled in a very diverse neighborhood, next to a very quiet park, this home has everything I wanted and more. Starting with off street parking, which in these areas is not a gaurentee, then on to the beautifully tended garden, it captivates ypu with its beauty and charm. The unit is the 3rd floor that features 2 beautiful rooms and a large bathroom with a beautiful tub to soak in after a long day walking the local attractions. It has its own temperature controls with central air/heating. There is a quaint kitchen, perfect for quick meals or a little bite to eat. It is a on the 3rd floor so do expect stairs, and it is older so the stair case is a bit on the narrow side. This for me was a perfectly acceptable trade off for such a great property. I will glady stay here again.

Amazing and clean cute apartment!! Inside the owner's house - private parking behind the house. Lots of goodies: water, coffee, popcorn, tea, hot cocoa, etc. Free streaming services, puzzles, games, etc. The only thing we disliked was confusion of wheree to enter.

Swede Hollow
We booked to visit the Minnesota State Fair. It was as advertised, meaning, up 3 flights, etc. Not an issue for us, but it could be for you. The unit was clean and well appointed. The bedrooms were separated and the living space was spacious and fun. Really a unique experience, in a historic home in an old neighborhood. If you have dreamed of taking a bubble bath in a claw foot tub this is your chance. The hosts were friendly and had helpful suggestions for things to see and do.

St Paul stay
The apartment in the top story was beautiful-- charming, and cozy. The patio has a beautiful garden with fountain that was wonderfully relaxing. Swede hollow park just across the street was like something out of a fairytale. And, while feeling fairly far-removed from the city, it was so close to many fun things we enjoyed, including Como Zoo and a concert at the Excel Center. I highly recommend a stay here and would love to return, myself.

Great stay!
We came to St. Paul to attend a lacrosse tournament and loved staying at this apartment! The place was beautiful, clean, well maintained, and close to many amenities. We are still in awe at the construction of the home with its beautiful ceiling lines and “nooks & crannies”. The entire home is beautiful and the neighborhood was quiet and quaint. The owners were great with communication and ease of check in/check out. We would recommend!

Quick getaway
Stayed here when we went to St. Paul for Janet Jackson. The apartment is adorable and had all accommodations needed. The check-in process is standard VRBO in that directions are sent days beforehand. Had a difficult time finding the lockbox and there was a small mess-up with check-in, but Michele was quick to make things right and very accommodating. Would stay here again!
(Sidenote: the nearby coffeeshop did NOT open when their hours stated, but Michele has a remedy for this as well!)
What a great majestic home! Felt very rested and enjoyed the 3rd floor apartment, will be looking for an excuse to come back to St Paul and stay here again!

Peaceful home in a great location!
The home was very quite and clean. The host was helpful and there when we needed her. The home itself was located on a quite dead end and was in walking distance of many restaurants. We came there for a show at the Fitzgerald and it was only a 8 minute drive. Overall it was an amazing stay.
