We had a very nice stay overall, the location of the cottage in St. Paul was perfect. Nice quiet street in a nice neighborhood, close to many places just a mile or so away.
The cottage is connected to a garage around the back side of a home that also seems to be an Airbnb. You don’t have use of the driveway, which was not an issue as the street had no other cars parked on it and plenty of space. I did however feel slightly uncomfortable walking down the driveway in the evening to the cottage in the backyard. There were two large trucks parked in the driveway which made it a bit of a squeeze to push our stroller by. You then have to walk along the backyard for the main house which was slightly awkward when I ran into a man staying at that house. The cottage has a nice gate and private area with a small table and chairs. This was very nice, especially with a toddler and dog in tow. The cottage is adorable and looks exactly like the photos. It was very top clean, but there was a lot of dust, fur and a couple bugs under the bed, sink and couch. Leave it to a toddler to find everything. We would come back, but our preference is for a bit more privacy, I think this location is exactly as advertised though. Thanks for a nice stay.
