I usually prefer to stay in places I have all to myself, and I wouldn't normally choose a garden apartment, but based on the reviews I decided to give Michael-jon's place a try and I'm so glad I did! The suite was charming, spacious, and completely private; Michael-jon and Christopher gave me a warm welcome and responded quickly to all my inquiries. The neighborhood is adorable and there is a great bike path/walking trail along the river just a few blocks away.
I visit St. Paul several times a year and this will be my go-to choice from now on.
