We had such a great stay in Erica’s place. The location was quiet and felt like in a real community but was also really close to downtown St Paul (we walked home one night) and easy to get to the interstate.
The house was even nicer than it looked in the photos. Bed was super comfortable. Toiletries in bathroom. Loads of ‘living space’. The kitchen had all we needed.
Erica and her family were excellent hosts. Very chatty and gave us some good local tips. They were also very responsive - I couldn’t get the coffee machine to work and Erica swapped it out with theirs straight away.
The Mississippi co-op 2 or 3 blocks away was really great with hot food and a deli.
There’s a fab view of the city from Indian mounds (5 mins drive away). We enjoyed walking along the waterfront at Shepard Rd and loved Minnehaha Falls in Minnesota in the fall sunshine.
My partner was at a convention for most of our stay but I spent more time in Erica’s place and it really felt like home. We’ll be going back there next time we’re over.
