comfy clean and convenient!

Easy to find, easy to access and just the space I needed for a few days with family from out of town. Spacious kitchen for coffee and chatting, close to a favorite Italian restaurant. The space was warm and clean, beds comfortable. Parking right outside the door made unloading a breeze. Would stay again!

Great hosts, beautiful property right in town

The house is 100+ years old but has been lovingly kept and upgraded! Hosts are amazing and provide everything you’d need except food and your toothbrush! House is in an older quiet neighborhood but restaurants are a short drive or even walk away!

Charming Place in St. Paul

I stayed here for a week with my teenage daughter, and we both loved it. It’s very charming and spacious. The kitchen is very large, and there were two bedrooms for privacy. It was in a great location and near everything we wanted to do. I highly recommend it!

Great way to enjoy St Paul!

Great bottom duplex with all the amenities of home! Perfect for our family of three as a home base while enjoying all the attractions St Paul. Off street parking space was a huge bonus during a late season snowstorm. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend for a low key, relaxing stay. Neighborhood is safe, quiet, and convenient.

Awesome visit!

We enjoyed our time in St. Paul! The cottage is a lower level unit located in a very quiet neighborhood. It had just the right amount of space for us and our toddler. We really enjoyed how much there was to do close by. If you're a plane loving adult or have a plane loving kid make sure to check out the MSP viewing area at the airport!

Perfect spot!

Stayed at Cottage in the City for the Boys HS Hockey Tournament at the Xcel. Perfect spot for it being less than two miles away - caught an Uber back and forth to the X so no worrying about parking downtown. Great breakfast spot right around the corner and the house was perfect for me and my two teenage sons. Hosts were fantastic to communicate with!

Another Great Experience

This was our second stay at this property and second five star rating. House is well equipped and very clean. Location is great. The house is a short walk to at least two great restaurants and less than 5 mins by car to the children's museum of Minnesota and the Science Museum. Communication with host was excellent. Looking forward to another stay next summer on our way to the North Shore.

Well Appointed Lower Duplex

A well cared for, inviting duplex that made us feel right at home! This lower duplex is packed with well appointed comfort. Loved the spacious kitchen/dining area and really appreciated the washer/dryer. We found the bed in the main bedroom very comfortable and the daybed + trundle combination in the second was great for our young grandchildren. Austin and Elizabeth are wonderful hosts! They were very responsive and accommodating! Loved our stay!!!
