Richard's charming house was perfect for our family. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, the kitchen equipped for basic meals - vegetable oil, salt and other basic spices, pots and pans, plates, etc (including a starter carton of eggs, a 1/2 gallon of milk, half & half, coffee and cereal!).
It's walking distance to a great grocery store (Lunds and Byerlys), the metro's green line to get to other spots in St. Paul (Fasika Ethiopian food and three floors at Midway used books on Snelling!) and downtown Minneapolis (Mary Tyler Moore statue at Nicollett Mall! Bob Dylan mural! Target Field!), and a Hmong market in the other direction for some great pho and other delights.
And it's convenient to the Twin Cities' tangle of highways while being tucked away from the noise.
The two porches were perfect for morning coffee.
Richard was highly responsive, within minutes, whenever I had a question. I can't wait to return to this home!
