We stayed at both this and one of the upstairs apartments for 3 nights. I posted the same review for the other apartment, as the information is the same!
This is a wonderful little retreat in an awesome neighborhood in St. Paul!. The setup was great and the apartments have been beautifully redone. We didn't want for much at all, and if we did, the shops are literally two blocks away. We got take-out twice and didn't do any cooking, though the covered grill in back may have been available to use. Highly recommend Punch Pizza...wouldn't go back to Brasa.
The kitchen had a few condiments in the fridge, coffee (THANK YOU!), and ice already in the freezer. We didn't look for cooking utensils and things like that so I can't comment much. We purchased toilet paper as there wasn't a full roll when we arrived and couldn't find more. No biggie.
The notes in previous reviews about air conditioning are correct - we were quite warm during our stay. To be fair, we didn't bring this up to Stacey, who checked in with us a couple of times via text (super friendly!!), because it really isn't something that can be fixed without having put in central air during the remodel. We knew ahead that there was only window air in the bedroom, so we each brought a fan and that helped a bit.
We have 4 small dogs between us, and the apartments were great for them. Lots of places to walk them in the neighborhood. Note there were a lot of dogs being walked off-leash, so if that's a worry, just be careful. Wasn't for us. The only disappointment was finding out there was a 3rd apartment in the house with a tenant living there - we chose this place believing we had the whole home to ourselves, so barking dogs wouldn't be an issue, but instead worried about the disruption constantly. Not a big deal, but something to be noted if you're looking for a place where no one else is living. Had we known before we arrived, we'd have kept looking. The one evening we needed to be gone and I knew they were barking, I texted Stacey and she assured me the tenant was working, so no problem.
We were able to sit on the porch with the pups...such an awesome area. People everywhere and everyone friendly. It's on a one-way street so not a ton of traffic - lots of bikes and walkers for sure.
Overall, a wonderful stay. Stacey had great communication and the apartments were just what we needed! Clean, well appointed, perfect location!
