Jennifer welcomed three of us warmly to her beautiful, historic home. The house is located in one of the older sections of St. Paul, and there are some gorgeous late 1800s homes in the neighborhood that have been recently restored. The house is within easy walking distance of a coffee shop and restaurants.
One of the most pleasant surprises I enjoyed was how quiet it was at night in this room in the city. I am normally woken up in the middle of the night by various night noises - not so here.
The Library room includes a small porch which is comfortably furnished and provides a private place to hang out. We also enjoyed the backyard. One of the three in our party stayed in the Yellow Room (reviewed separately).
Jennifer is one of those people who is at peace with herself, and it shows in her home and in the way she interacted with us. She was gracious enough to introduce us to her friends who stopped by one evening, and thoughtful in that she kept what would have been a noisy group outside while my young son slept inside.
Jennifer has a dog, which she notes in her description of the home. Greta is a pretty laid back dog, as far as dogs go. Although I'm not really a dog-person, I did like Greta. After greeting us, she went back to her own business of resting in the living room. I'm not sure I heard Greta bark during our two-night stay, and I really appreciated how well-behaved she was even when Jennifer was not at home.
The bathroom was clean and had everything we needed - hot water, enough water pressure, plenty of supplies, towels, and yummy-smelling soap.
