First the good news : This apartment is very well priced and it is easy to walk to a number of good restaurants. I particularly recommend the Thai restaurant On's. On the whole, I found the bed very comfortable and the evenings were quiet, which surprised me a bit, since the neighborhood is not the best.
Now the not as great news: When we arrived, we found a note on the counter saying that towels would be delivered later. I emailed Joe and it turned out that the cleaning people were supposed to leave them and didn't. Joe was duly horrified by this and tried to rectify it. It took awhile, but we had bathroom towels the next morning. They were brand new, which was nice, but they hadn't been washed (the tags were still on) so we had towel goo all week. Plus, we only had one wash cloth and one face towel (and two bath towels) for a whole week. In the kitchen, there were no kitchen towels (maybe the cleaning people ran off with those too!) and there isn't really enough items to cook. I could only find one saucepan. There were only two full size spoons. Even though the greeting said to "help yourself to coffee," there was not much coffee left and I ran out early on our stay. (There were nice wine glasses though, which was nice.)
The apartment is priced really well (especially for St. Paul) so that is a plus.
There was a closet for hanging things, but nowhere else to put things like shelves or drawers. The toilet leaked water all over the floor if you leaned back on the tank. There is no individual control over the temperature (that we could see anyway) and we were freezing! There were no curtains in the kitchen or living room and that was on the path from the bathroom to the bedroom. There was no toaster.
