This was my first airbnb experience, and thanks to Susan, I was shown what a wonderful concept can be behind airbnb. I came to St Paul on a college visit with my son. We arrived at Susan's beautiful Victorian home after a tiring red eye flight. Susan was there to greet us, and immediately made us feel very welcome. She showed us our nicely appointed and spacious second floor room (which also spotted a gorgeous Victorian stained glass window). The two bathrooms down the hall, one with a huge shower and w/d, one with a claw foot tub/shower combo were spotless and inviting. The kitchen was available for us to use and stocked with a nice array of breakfast supplies. The house itself exudes a very inviting and pleasant vibe, and Susan is the perfect host, striking a perfect balance between making herself available as a source for information about the neighborhood and leaving her guests to themselves. Oh yes, Susan's house is also in a great residential St Paul neighborhood, within walking distance of local restaurants and shops, only a few car minutes from Macalester College in one direction and the Cathedral of St. Paul the other direction. Next time I come back to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, I will make sure to stay with Susan again!
