This is an interesting experience in a magnificent location. Doug makes you feel very welcomed in his home. The overall experience feels like your are visiting old friends even when you enjoy your complete privacy. It is. 7 mins walk to the American Germanic Center that sometimes hosts interesting events. 10 mins or less walk to cafe’s and restaurants. It is also very close to the commodore sports club if you want to burn all the calories off. I should add I did not quite feel alone in the third floor, I wonder if there is a spirit from the 1880’s stuck there , if so it must be a peaceful one. Of course it could be being alone in a historical house and my imagination. Don’t know . Excellent location. St. Paul is a beautiful city, especially in the fall. Doug is a fantastic host. If you choose to stay here I hope you enjoy it.
