Nice central location. We came to visit our son and he lives about five minutes away. We liked being in walking range to Kowalski’s and Summit.

Wonderful place!

Great charming house in a fantastic location that was close to everything. Super comfy bed and all the basic amenities provided to get our trip started without extra efforts. Minnestay really goes above and beyond with their properties so looking forward to returning to their places again after this first time in one.

Comfort in St. Paul

My company travels the country setting up structures for events and other activations. As such we utilize VRBO often. This property in St. Paul is excellent. All amenities are present as described and the property manager's communication is outstanding. The property is very comfortable and accommodating. I highly recommend this property to anyone traveling to the twin cities!

Cute home on Grand Avenue

This little renovated home on Grand Avenue offers nicely decorated rooms and relaxing spaces, from the huge master bedroom top floor to the basement bar and TV area. We also liked the large backyard with chairs. The back deck and parking area are in serious need of renovation. The rest of the property is in good shape.

Thanksgiving stay

Location was great. It is an old house. Very small kitchen and lacked in some basic kitchen necessities. We did bring along quite a few kitchen items, crock pots, pans, etc. as we ordered a Thanksgiving dinner from Kowalskis and needed to heat multiple food items up at a time. Drafty and had to turn temp up quite a bit to make it comfortable. Upstairs bedroom area was nice although bathroom a little odd with no door and open walls at the top. Basement was okay but also cold and hard to heat. It worked for our family. Would be nice for a summer stay as the backyard looked inviting.

Grand Avenue

The location was excellent, within walking distance to Kowalski’s Grocery and a number of good restaurants and coffee shops. The house was an old well cared for craftsman. The upstairs stairway has short steps that can be difficult for an adult. The dishwasher was necessarily quite small given the available kitchen cabinet space leading the three of us to need to run it often.

Wonderful week for the fam!

There's nothing really to say except how it went. Everything was smooth, everything was easy, communication was fabulous and the place was as advertised and then some. Plenty of room for us and plenty close to all the necessities and entertainment we needed. The video game and Lounge downstairs is a beautiful touch and the backyard is a wonderful little tucked away area where you can feel private but still be close to everything. We had many cookouts and play sessions. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out that needed to go to bed at different times due to the kids. And anytime there was a question we got an answer quickly. Highly recommend the house, and area. Thanks so much for having us!!

Charming, convenient Grand Ave. Bungalow!

We dropped our daughter off for college at St Thomas and didn't want the hassle of a hotel, parking ramp, etc. We were 5 blocks from her and it was the most relaxing stay we've had in the Cities! We could walk to restaurants, bars, shopping. We walked daily to Kowalski's for groceries to cook/snack-they are THE NICEST people! We walked to Iron Ranger (awesome bar/restaurant with live music and the coolest manager around..Liz V.), and The Colossal Cafe on the corner is great for breakfast and lunch! Clean and cozy with character is this home with plenty of room for my husband and I, both of our daughters (17 and 21) and a boyfriend:) We had everything we needed for cooking, drinking wine, laundry, easy parking in the alley. House was plenty cool because it was really hot this week, and evenings on the back deck with wine were perfect. We will definitely be back as we'll be watching Tommie basketball games all winter! Thanks so much for our new home away from home:)

Beautiful St Paul home

This is a lovely, updated older home in a quiet neighborhood in St. Paul. The 2nd floor attic has been turned into a large master suite with a beautiful bathroom. Pros: immaculate 1/2 block to groceries, restaurants Coffee shop Lovely neighborhood to walk around Close to Macalester college & St Thomas 2 parking spots in back 3 beds w/different mattresses for all comfort levels Spacious living/dining area Back deck updated & fire pit in yard Interactions with Minnestay very pleasant. Cons: main bathroom on 1st floor had plumbing issues, shower head broken, (replaced during our stay). Hot water in sink was a trickle, needed plumber to fix. Hopefully this will be resolved prior to other visitors. If not for the plumbing issues, this would be 5/5.
