I was able to stay at Jean's home for three nights and two full days on Thursday, June 11th until Sunday morning, June 14th. It was the best experience for me! I came to St. Paul/Minneapolis to visit my son and his girlfriend while he is doing research at U of M. Tyler was able to set this up for me and I loved it. Jean was an excellent hostess who welcomed me on Thursday night like an old friend. We were able to visit in her living room that evening and then have coffee on her porch in the morning. In the morning I layed in her hammock for a little bit on the porch and visited while waiting for Tyler to pick me up. When arriving back to her house in the evenings, I sat on her porch with her, another visitor and one of Jean's friends and had tea together.

To visit Tyler and Melissa in a city I had only been to once was wonderful and to stay in a home instead of a hotel made it even more wonderful. This was my first experience with an AirBNB and I know it will not be my last. To be able to meet a new friend in a big city really meant a lot to me.

I actually feel like I have known Jean for a very long time. She opened up her home to a stranger and I left feeling like a friend.

Thank you Jean for making my trip so special. I hope I will be able to visit you again sometime!
