Fine for a short stay

The location is great for being close to downtown St. Paul. We appreciated the 700 old VHS tapes and the lack of a tv was fine for us. Basic furnishings. No toaster as an example. Matresses were hard and cheap. No washcloths in the bathroom. This is a basic location that I believe is overpriced. HOWEVER saying all these things if the price was cheaper I would recommend for a short stay. I felt safe in the neighborhood and had no issues with out side noise or downstairs occupants.

Great location

The location and property were great. The check in process was rough. I didn’t receive any check in info before arrival and then it took a bit to connect to the property owner. I think this was a minor issue that the owner will correct moving forward. He did a good job communicating once we were in the unit. I recommend if you don’t have instructions the day before to reach out to the owner for information.

What an absolute Gem.

We had the most amazing experience at this location. The place is exactly as advertised. I soft welcoming feel to a time when things were simpler. Very clean and the manager helped us fix the small issues we had right away. They offer some modern features, but it is intentionally left in a time period for you remember simpler times. People who complain about this location obviously don't know how to read as it shouldn't suprize anyone there isn't a TV in the location haha. If you want a place to relax after a long day doing vacation things, I couldn't recommend this place more.

Terrible Communication

There was 0 communication after booking the vrbo. Was told there would be communication a few days before check in and that never happened. Messaged again asking how to check in and get into the property and never heard back. When arrival came, there was no keys, no person or anyone there to get us into the property. I texted and called and still nothing. We stood outside for more than an hour waiting and talking with customer service who also couldn’t get ahold of the vrbo property owner. It was cold outside and we still didn’t hear back even after booking a different location. Still nothing even after refund. Very disappointed.

Cozy upper level duplex unit

Older home with antique designs. The hosts, Asha & Andy were excellent with communication and the check-in process was easy. Cozy and cute place for a temporary stay for about 2 people. Didn't quite have enough chairs and seating for all 4 of us though...only 1 couch and a small table with 2 chairs. Great idea on projection tv on the wall (no actual projection screen) with a VCR that plays old VHS cassette tapes...no real TV. Our girls were bored after 3 days of watching old movies. The walls were hollow so we heard everything downstairs with their puppy dog along with the neighbors talking outside. Also, a small kitchen with limited supplies and items to use. *Bring your own toilet paper!* Off street parking was a struggle sometimes too. Our stay was okay but could've been better.
