I was one of the first visitors to stay here, and it was a great experience. The apartment is sunny, clean, and (at least in January) very quiet. I slept long and hard each night. Though I lived in St. Paul for more than 15 years, I was not familiar with this neighborhood and enjoyed getting to know a new part of the city. Having a car when it's cold is ideal, but I bet you could get around pretty easily without one once it warms up, especially if you have a bike. My first night there, I got in after midnight and couldn't get the keyless lock to open. Assuming it was my fault, I tried FIVE times before I texted Christine. Of course, it worked perfectly the sixth time...while she was calling my cell. I felt awful but she was very sweet about it. I highly recommend staying here and may come back this summer when I visit again.
