Christine made me feel welcome prior to my visit, during my visit, and through checkout. What a great and welcoming hostess! Keyless door locks made this rental a breeze, and the apartment was fantastic. There was room to spread out, a full-size kitchen, and a beautiful neighborhood for jogging and getting out for morning walks in this historic St. Paul west side hill area. The Mississippi and beautiful overlooks, for viewing the city of St. Paul are within walking distance. What a treat… Or should I say a retreat! Thanks Catherine for offering your wonderful place to Minnesota visitors.
