I had a lovely 7-night stay in St. Paul while I conducted dissertation research at the State Archives.
Jo is the consummate host -- conscientious, accommodating, communicative, and friendly. I felt very welcome, and was fortunate to experience some local gems thanks to Jo's knowledge of the Twin Cities.
The home is clean and comfortable, with as much privacy as you want/need, in a beautiful (and safe and quiet) neighbourhood. I had a very pleasant walk to the Captiol every day -- there are many pedestrian accessible coffeeshops, breakfast spots, bookstores, and campuses that made great places to explore and relax during my visit (and the bigger box stores and downtown areas aren't far either).
Thanks for a great research trip homebase, Jo!
