There is much to like about this home. It's much more charming and modern on the inside than it appears from the outside. It's compact yet spacious with 5 bedrooms, comfy beds, plenty of 'set down' and 'flow' space. The central a/c worked quietly and very effectively on a hot summer weekend. The appliances and 2.5 bathrooms are modern and work well. The two car garage is great, as the neighborhood has available street parking but can require a longer walk. The neighborhood is safe, convenient to many places (Allianz Field, downtown St. Paul and nearby restaurant row on Grand Ave, U of M, Mississippi River parkway, etc) and well-kept. Nice walking is available at charming Hamline U campus just a block away. Nearby main streets had some businesses damaged by the May '20 unrest in the Twin Cities but this older residential neighborhood feels very peaceful and safe. The host was super-responsive and pleasant on communications and a few very minor issues around paper supplies. The porch and back yard are nice bonus spaces, although both could use some sprucing up and attention to details that would allow the home to achieve top ratings.
