You won’t regret staying here!!!

We met up with family in St Paul for the weekend to go to a game at CHS Stadium. The location of this house couldn’t have been more perfect! Having the lake right across the street was wonderful and we loved everything about the neighborhood.The house was super clean and the layout was perfect for our family. The bedroom and full bath downstairs was perfect for grandparents with the kids and grandkid upstairs. Every bedroom had its own bath, which was ver convenient. The beds were comfy and we only had one car, but street parking was always plentiful if we had needed it. We all agreed we would LOVE to stay here again!

Lovely home in a great neighborhood

The house is lovely and had everything we needed for our family of 5. The owner has a gorgeous front yard with lovely landscaping. Very clean, easy parking, lots of great amenities so we didn’t have to pack every little thing. Only downsides were that we didn’t have access to the garage (this wasn’t a surprise, we just didn’t realize it ahead of time and should have planned better) and the master bedroom mattress was very uncomfortable - all the other rooms were great!

Comfortable, Quiet, lovely home

The house was perfect for our group. Located directly across from Como Lake and a 5 min drive (or 30 minute walk along the lake) from the Zoo, which is really wonderful by the way. We didn't have kids with us but the location across from a large grassy area along the lake would be a perfect set up if we did. Lots of room to run around and the 2 mile walk around the lake is lovely, serene and highly recommended. The 3 bedrooms made it perfect for our group which consisted of 2 couples and a single and the 3 bathrooms, 2 upstairs and 1 down, made that even easier. Nicely appointed and very clean, this house feels like a home, comfortable and relaxing. Easy communication with the owner, ample neighborhood parking, lovely area to walk around. The house has just about everything you would need but there are no real stores within walking distance with the exception of a gas station about a 15 minute walk away where you can buy snacks, sodas, etc. There are shopping areas though just on the other side of the lake where you will find a grocery store and some other small shops. Everyone in our group was very happy with this choice.

Beautiful home in a fun neighborhood

We loved our stay here. The home is very, very tastefully done. There is a gourmet style kitchen that we thoroughly enjoyed as my sister and husband are gourmet cooks. We enjoyed the central area too for visiting and the view is nice. We loved the train that goes by a few blocks away. Walked to como park zoo and around the lake. Dao is a communicative host and was very helpful. I recommend this lovely place!

Lovely house in the beautiful Como Park area

We enjoyed this lovely house very much throughout our 5-day stay. The host was superb and responsive. All the necessities and supplies were adequately provided, which we really appreciated. The house is very close to Lake Como, which makes a nice evening stroll around the lake. There are many locals who go there for jogging, walking or dog-walking. Such a lovely neighborhood. The area is safe and peaceful. The house is beautiful and so is the garden. There is a large capacity washer and dryer on the main level, which makes doing laundry easy. The house was clean and well maintained. We would stay here again in the future if we are in town. Thank you for letting us stay at your lovely house, Dao!

This house was perfect for the week we needed to stay in St. Paul. A few of my friends and I rented this cozy house and it was nice coming home each night to a “feel like home” place to relax.

Great home but Host does not respect privacy

I was excited for my family vacation at this property since there were so many raving reviews but my family and I had an uncomfortable and creepy experience. The host showed up unannounced several times claiming to water the flowers as they peered through the windows at us. They live close to the property and would often walk over in the mornings. There was also undisclosed surveillance equipment outside and there aren’t any curtains on the windows of the public areas of the first floor so people can easily see inside. When it was time to check out the host and her relatives arrived around 9am even though checkout was at 11am. There are a lot of indoor plants so expect to be annoyed by gnats. I am not sure if the other people who stayed here had the same experience or not and just chose not to write about it or if my family and I were targeted because we are Black. If you book here just keep in mind your privacy may or may not depend on the color of your skin.
