I had a wonderful 4-night stay with Deborah in St. Paul. The location was ideal for my visit to my daughter, a student at Macalester College: easy 20-minute walk to campus, close to bus lines, a Whole Foods and more, all in a quiet residential neighborhood at a very affordable rate. The room was clean, well furnished and comfortable, with a bath (technically shared but it was never in use when I needed it) and a small kitchen. Deborah was VERY helpful and responsive to all my questions leading up to and during my visit - even gave me a lift back to her house from the college! She provided a light breakfast daily (bagels, yogurt, fruit, etc.) and coffee/tea. My room was a single but there is a double-bed room next door, so the space could be suitable for a small family (I envision returning with my husband and teenage son). Highly recommended.
