If you love the exotic and want to feel transported outside of this most lovely American city to somewhere in Japan, please stay here. The privacy and sense of solitude are profound. Also, the coffee is great and there are multiple ways to brew it here. His book, CD, DVD and LP collection will keep you in rapture. I loved getting away to Japan while visiting family in St Paul. Location has great access to freeways and good parks and walking/jogging areas nearby.
