This is a very nice walk-up apartment. We enjoyed the little office with oak desk, plugs and very good WiFi. Bed room is quiet and comfortable with a nice neighborhood view. Good closet. Host family lives in the building and is very friendly. The location in St. Paul is excellent, lots of great restaurants within a 10 minute walk. And if you like to walk -- and the weather isn't too bad -- you'll enjoy hoofing it to downtown St Paul with it's theaters, hockey venue, historic sites and museums, and to the state Capitol, to St. Paul Cathedral, and to Macalester College. We were able to park right in front of the the house. There appears to be lots of parking right near by. There is a full kitchen, clean and equipped for simple cooking. The hosts don't want any loud parties, but we had our daughter and a friend over for a meal. It was largely take out, but we cooked a few items. We brought chairs from other rooms to the kitchen table, and we all had fun. But it was tight and this wouldn't be the right place if you have more ambitious entertaining in mind.
Overall: highly recommended
