Very secure with your own entrance and keys. Very clean, with plenty of space. Very quiet. I had read about noise, but there was none. I'm not sure what train one reviewer was talking about. Very friendly cat (Tootsie) and three cute and quiet chickens that you only see if you visit out back. Nice house and neighborhood. Convenient--one mile from Hamline University. Gabe's at the Park was recommended to me for lunch, and it was a ten-minute walk, delicious, and lively but with quiet side booths and tables. Jodi is a great problem-solver and makes sure you are comfortable.
