I was in St Paul for a conference at Metro State and Erica and Ken's place was perfect for my time there. It is walk-able to Metro State, bus options, the oldest brewery in St Paul (Yoerg's), a grocery co-op, and local restaurants & coffee houses (including 4 blocks from a great El Salvadoran place!), and a short walk to the river and a wooded park - a great location for accessible, local living while in town. Erica was super responsive to communications and check-in was a breeze. The home and the neighborhood are super quiet, so provides a nice, home feel for out of towners. The place was *spotless* and exactly as pictured online. I will stay here again if ever in St Paul!
