As Melanie and John's first guests, we feel fortunate to have discovered their cozy, quiet, and well appointed place. Though in the heart of the Twin Cities, you would think you were in a small farming town . Although the apartment is situated behind the owners home, which faces a farm field, it is tucked under an outdoor patio and looks out over a spacious private back yard ringed by mature trees. The bedroom is surprisingly spacious with a comfortable queen bed; the bathroom, though smallish, is clean with new fixtures and nice towels; the living room contains a comfortable couch, fireplace/heater, a small refrigerator/freezer (stocked with water & juice), coffee maker, water kettle, microwave, small TV (with Roku) - all new.
This is an ideal location for anyone needing lodging within walking distance of the University of Minnesota St. Paul campus or the MN State Fair.
Melanie greeted us and gave us a complete introduction to the place. We did not see (or hear) them again, though it was reassuring to know that they lived just behind us if we needed anything.
We look forward to staying at their place again.
