This was my first time using AirBnB, and I must say....it was incredibly easy to use. Even though I ended up with flight cancellations on the inbound trip (delayed 36 hours), my host was easy to communicate with on my arrival status.
This is good value for the nice Summit neighborhood location to downtown St. Paul, 20-25 min walk up to Selby Avenue for restaurant/shops/etc.
Having a little galley kitchen is nice too...I wish I had the time to use it. Paige provided a nice selection of tea and coffee, so that got me started each morning. Also this is a very quiet place to sleep.
I ate at the French Hen Cafe on Selby almost everyday. There is also a terrific wine store across from the French Hen Cafe. It is called Solo Vino. It turned out to be one of the best wine shops I have ever shopped at. They know their wines, terrific selection, good prices, local guys, and they support the MN importers. Lots of small batch wines and spirits, and very good on price. This is not your local MN liquor store variety with mass produced wines. Reminded me of Kermit Lynch Wines in Berkeley, CA.....but with a better variety plus small batch spirits!
Tip: If your using Uber while staying here, make sure you advise the driver where to pick you up. Uber drivers GPS pick-up locations were not consistent and they got confused where exactly to pick you up. Easily rectified by texting the Uber drive how to enter off Summit Ave to Heather St, and a right turn on Grand Hill. Property located on the bottom of the hill on the right. Uber fares to downtown St. Paul never exceeded $6.05 per ride.
Thanks again for a positive experience!
