We had a wonderful first experience with airbnb in St. Paul, staying with Sandra! She has a great family and they made us feel very comfortable. We were greeted with tea and cookies by their son and darling dog, Pucchini. They were helpful with restaurant and shopping ideas when we asked, so we had a better grasp on the city. Our room had a comfy bed and the bathroom had a heated floor!!! Breakfast was fresh fruit, scones and a frittata. We would not hesitate to stay here again. The whole process of requesting a reservation and any communication between us and the host was prompt and went smoothly. We look forward to our next chance to use airbnb.
