Staying at Jean's house was the best experience ever! I came to do research at the U of M, and the house was pretty close to the St. Paul campus. There was a bus route just a few minutes away too. Jean is a very warm and loving person and we had a great time together; she was much more than a hostess, we became friends! If you want to feel like at home from the first day while you're in the Twin Cities, come to Jean's house. She will always make sure you get everything you need to feel comfortable and at ease. I had some difficult situations while I was in the Twin Cities, and she was always there for me. She was a great support! On the other hand, the house is very welcoming and comfortable. Spending time on the porch was very relaxing. The room was big and spacious and it was also a great place to work. I definitely recommend staying at her house!
