As a host Ryan was incredibly helpful, reponsive and a great communicator. The house is physically beautiful and continues to be thoughtfully restored. This home is comfortable and even a bit elegant. The neighborhood is walkable, minutes to Hamline College and the bus line. We stayed in 2 different rooms. The bed was fairly comfortable. This room comes with private use of the large living, which was wonderful. These rooms are sunny & pleasant even in the winter because of the many 8' windows. There's even a working fireplace. Ryan's home is inexpensive because it's not the "white glove" bed and breakfast, it's a hostel and an excellent one! The one drawback of this room is that it's on the first floor, all the other rooms are upstairs. Therefore if you're a light sleeper you might be awaken by people going upstairs late at night. Oh and those big, gold radiators keep the house comfortably warm.
