Since I was about to be Jo’s 2nd guest, I had LOW expectations as her being a great host. Boy, I was wrong. Even if I had high expectations, she blew me away for being an exceptional host! She was prompt, accommodating, friendly, and hospitable. She gave me great insights on where to go and places to visit,. She takes pride with St. Paul community as well as Minneapolis. Speaking of community, her neighborhood is relatively quiet and friendly. The bedroom, bathroom and study (BBS) rooms are clean and comfortable. The BBS and public space pictures are pretty accurate. Enjoying the 2nd floor outdoor balcony with cloudy sky one day and sunny the other was so relaxing and peaceful… almost don’t want me to go out and explore the city. Ha ha. Using the rental car, downtown St. Paul is short hop away while the nearby freeway take either downtown Minneapolis or MSP airport in about 15 minutes (if no traffic). There are couple of very minor things to think about. Since the home is over 100 years old, the wood floors and stairs are creaky. But it brings character, warmth and appreciation to the house history. Another thing is no locks are provided to AirBnB BBS. But she was upfront before I booked so I am fine with it. And I like that the BBS is connected by private hallway for privacy. Overall I had one of the best hosting experiences! Highly recommend Jo and her place.
