Great host

Because our group was so large we stayed in both of Rachel's St. Paul's rentals that were just a 3 minutes walk away from each other. There was a school in between both space so which was a great place to hang out during the summer. There was one room upstairs without an AC unit so in the summer it could get a bit stuffy but with the other units running it kept the overall space pretty manageable in the heat of summer. Would stay again.

Great place to sit back a relax. My only complaint was lots of stairs. I’m glad no one in our party had a problem with them.

We came to the Metro Area to house hunt. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed in our stay. The listing did not accurately portray the quality/cleanliness of the home nor the location of the space.
The only thing we found to be true to the listing was the number of beds (4 queens and 1 double).
The home was not well-maintained and included: a dishwasher with a broken door that nearly broke my husband’s foot upon opening it, a broken door handle on the upstairs bathroom, sewer gas emitting from the lower level bathroom that required us to keep the door closed at all times due to the smell, and a curtain covering an opening to all the unfinished duct work in the closet of one of the bedrooms.
The bathrooms appeared to have been just “wiped down” versus “deep-cleaned” as one would expect and the couch smelt of vomit. The floors did not appear to have been shampooed in quite sometime and no of us felt comfortable walking barefoot.
Not to mention the location of the space was very unsafe. The home is located a block from Arcade St. which is known for gang activity and high crime (which we did not know about a head of time). No one in our party felt safe to walk the streets alone, even during the day.
For the price of the home ($1300+ for 6 days), we all expected a more clean, unkept home in a safe area.

The space was huge and perfectly comfortable for our group of 6! We had the chance to make meals as a group and had everything we needed in the kitchen. Plus the space was so quiet! You know you’re in a multi-unit family because you see the neighbors occasionally outside but it’s silent once you make it inside your space. Be prepared for some stairs though! I knew it was at least one flight of stairs but there is a second full flight to access the second bathroom and the majority of the bedrooms.
Overall a great stay and we are thankful for the space.

If you need a spot to house many people and be a short uber drive to Xcel arena or downtown St Paul this is the place. Highly recommend Brunson's Pub and Caydence Records and Coffee. If you want to venture a little farther Surly Brewing is a awesome place

This neighborhood was awesome, easy access to getting anywhere and location to store items were close. People were friendly. About the property it was very clean and felt "home-like" I definately would stay here again. Plenty of beds and amenities were just like a hotel. The welcome book to tell you about the property was helpful in getting to know the area. Plenty of bedding and tolietries and liked the shower on the first floor. Thank you Rachel.

Location was with in 15-30 minutes of St Paul and Minneapolis. In a quiet neighborhood with a coffee shop and pub within walking distance.

Clean, excellent communication, nicely remodeled, very spacious. We do an annual family trip every year and this is the best one we have ever stayed in. Highly recommend. The only downside is the wifi was sometimes a bit spotty. Kitchen is limited if you plan on prepping food, but it was perfect for us! We will be back!

Just me and my business partner on a trip. This was a much better option than a hotel room and worked beautifully.

Good Times
We were a group of 17 for a bachelorette party. We loved how close it was to great cafes, breweries, and food options. It was a hot weekend, so we relied on the fans to stay cool. Overall, we had a great stay.

Location was good
It was nice. The listing could have been a bit more specific about how ac was window units and there was one bedroom without one so it got very warm. And I agree that the windows upstairs are alittle nervous to have little kids around.

Graduation Celebration
This was an excellent stay for us. We had enough space to hang out in large and small groups to celebrated graduation. Loved visiting Caydence Coffee and Albums three blocks away.
Really wish the windows all had screens. We could maintain a comfortable temperature but worried about letting bugs or bats in the house.

Not safe for children
I would not recommend anybody with children stay at this property. The windows in the upstairs bedrooms (3rd floor of 3 story building) did not have screens or guards in the windows. The windows literally went all the way to the floor. Any small child could easily crawl or walk right out the windows.
Because there wasn't any duel level thermostat, we had to have windows open the whole night while sleeping (March in MN). This is what drew our attention to the safety issue as we are all mothers.
We could not find the first aid kit (possibly stolen?) from under the kitchen sink and there was not a fire extinguisher, not that we needed one.
There could have been more kitchen supplies (measuring cups, mixing bowls) but that really was not a big deal at all for my group. My main concern is the lack of required safety measures (no fire extinguishers, unguarded windows, first aid kit).

Lovely Neighborhood
We enjoyed our stay. The neighborhood was lovely and it was like having a home away from home. Rachel was very quick to respond to any issues we had and she got them resolved quickly.

Grooms party for wedding
Great location close to downtown St. Paul with plenty of room for what we needed. Host was responsive and answered all questions I had. Great stay and would recommend!

Comfortable, with caveats
Cute neighborhood, comfortable beds, clean linen. Great location, too, and easy check in and out. Perfect for fall/winter visits.
Small gripes: The property was as advertised, but I would not advise visiting during a heat wave. The AC units are inadequate for the upstairs, especially if the dryer has been run recently.

We had a great experience renting this VRBO property. It’s really big and had plenty of space and beds for our eight people. We had a few issues with the heater, which Andy came to remedy within 30 minutes. We also had a WiFi router go down, but they thankfully had a backup. Andy and Rachael were great hosts and communicated quickly. Our only suggestions would be to have more silverware since the house sleeps so many people - we were often lacking spoons and forks, and also replace the shower head upstairs, which only works OK. The shower liner upstairs has also seen better days, and most of the dishes in the kitchen needed to be washed before using since they had dust or other residue in them. None of those issues were big deals, and we had a wonderful stay. Thanks very much.

Spacious and Homey
We had a slight issue getting into the property, but Rachel was amazing and exceeded expectations to make it right.
The bedrooms are all nicely sized and had plenty of towels for the whole family.
There are narrow stairs to get to the apt and also inside so keep that in mind if that’s an issue.

Comfortable house for your Saint Paul Visit
A work associate and I stayed here and the stay went smoothly. It was nice to change things up and stay at a house instead of a hotel. There were plenty of beds to choose from and everything else was sufficient. If an issue arose, the owners were very quick in their responses. I appreciated that the house was in a safe neighborhood and I didn't feel like I needed to worry about our vehicles. Thank you all for the wonderful stay!
