Lara's place is a beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood. She gives a very thorough overview of the house, what is available for your use and what you can expect throughout your stay, which makes it easy to get settled. The room I stayed in was spotless, I had plenty of space to unpack my things and the bed was comfortable. I felt very at home and taken care of even though my stay was brief and we didn't really cross paths often. Bonus: she has two adorable dogs that welcomed me when I arrived and seemed to trust me right away. I HIGHLY recommend Lara's place if you visit Saint Paul and are looking for somewhere to rest your head.
