We are return customers and have really enjoyed staying with Laurie for a 2nd time. We love being able to use the back door, we can just pull up and load our suitcases right into our car. St Thomas University (across the street) was in move-in mode when we stayed so parking in front was scarce. Our host, Laurie, allowed us to park in her private parking spot beside the garage. Worked out great! She's very knowledgeable about the area and more than willing to help if you're not familiar with the St Paul and Minneapolis area.
