Charming property that is a 10 minute walk from Macalester College. Highlights include proximity to shopping at downtown St. Paul, spacious master bedroom and personal parking garage.
The house on Grand Ave is really situated in just the right spot! Close to restaurants, cafes, shops and a very short walk to Summit Ave to see all the historic homes in the neighborhood!
Great charming house in a fantastic location that was close to everything. Super comfy bed and all the basic amenities provided to get our trip started without extra efforts. Minnestay really goes above and beyond with their properties so looking forward to returning to their places again after this first time in one.
Walkable proximity on Grand Avenue.
Well stocked for a short visit.
Comfortable beds and clean bathrooms.
Nice outdoor sitting area and easy parking.
Comfortable furniture and loved the basement set up.
This house is my all-time favorite of my three different stays in this neighborhood of St. Paul. We will definitely be back again and again!
Working with Minnestay was a delight! I am very impressed with their professionalism, accessibility, and friendliness.
The location was excellent, within walking distance to Kowalski’s Grocery and a number of good restaurants and coffee shops.
The house was an old well cared for craftsman.
The upstairs stairway has short steps that can be difficult for an adult. The dishwasher was necessarily quite small given the available kitchen cabinet space leading the three of us to need to run it often.
There's nothing really to say except how it went. Everything was smooth, everything was easy, communication was fabulous and the place was as advertised and then some. Plenty of room for us and plenty close to all the necessities and entertainment we needed. The video game and Lounge downstairs is a beautiful touch and the backyard is a wonderful little tucked away area where you can feel private but still be close to everything. We had many cookouts and play sessions. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out that needed to go to bed at different times due to the kids. And anytime there was a question we got an answer quickly. Highly recommend the house, and area. Thanks so much for having us!!
Location was great. It is an old house. Very small kitchen and lacked in some basic kitchen necessities. We did bring along quite a few kitchen items, crock pots, pans, etc. as we ordered a Thanksgiving dinner from Kowalskis and needed to heat multiple food items up at a time. Drafty and had to turn temp up quite a bit to make it comfortable. Upstairs bedroom area was nice although bathroom a little odd with no door and open walls at the top. Basement was okay but also cold and hard to heat. It worked for our family. Would be nice for a summer stay as the backyard looked inviting.
Stayed for the weekend and really enjoyed the house and location. The house is laid out well and had everything we needed and more. Beds were comfortable. Hope to stay here again sometime.
Upstairs primary suite was spacious and comfortable. Home was clean and easy to get too. Staff at MinneStay were very responsive when we had a question. If you have trouble going up and down steps this would not be a good choice. Garage and parking in the back of the house are great. The street parking was always full.
This house is in a great location and it is the cutest house! We have stayed here twice now and just love it! The little things like soap, extra toothbrushes/toothpaste, coffee, laundry detergent, lotion, shampoo, etc., are all wonderful and make you feel welcome! Would definitely recommend this property!
We really enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood is very nice, convenient with grocery shop, multiple restaurants within walking distance. Very safe and quiet too. House is as described. Minnestay is very responsive.
This location was the perfect spot for our vacation to Saint Paul, MN! Loved running along Summit and Grand Ave! A quick walk to so many restaurants, shops, and coffee houses. The top floor master room was nice and cold for sleeping on a hot summer days! The basement bar and game room with Pac-Man and darts was super fun!
