A fantastic location in St. Paul, my family enjoyed our month long stay. The back yard is a dream with multiple spots to sit and eat and the she shed is so cute! We ate almost every meal outside.
Pros: The location can’t be beat, street parking is easy, grocery within an easy walk. The linens were all top quality and abundant and the kitchen had all the tools needed for a home cooked meal. Wifi was great for taking work calls. Our host responded quickly when we reached out on a couple of items. The upstairs neighbours are fabulous and friendly and take wonderful care of the gardens! The yard and shed are a dream!
Cons: The charm of old houses on summit Ave also meant the basement suite was extremely musty when we arrived and needed airing out, and the creaking from upstairs neighbours is extremely loud. There were a number of items in need of repair, the microwave handle was hanging off unattached, kitchen sink tap does not turn between the two sink bowls, the window latch in the second bedroom is broken and poorly repaired so it is nearly impossible to close after opening. The listing is as 1.5 baths and the photos look like 1 bathroom with shower and toilet and 1 with a tub and sink. There is in fact one bathroom with shower and toilet. The other ‘bathroom’ has only a sink and a shower that was not functional and full of construction supplies during our stay. The bathrooms were a surprise for us and made bathing my toddler difficult.
Overall we had a nice time but a few things detracted from our enjoyment and comfort for our month long stay.
