Host is a private chef, when available, is ready to enrich your stay with made to order Charcuterie / Indian fusion cuisine.
The apartment is exactly as described with extra thoughtful gifts. My favorite part of the layout is the skylights. There were night storms during my stay and the lightning show was beautiful. The yard has flowers and food gardens. I had a wonderful dinner prepared by Rupinder complete with a thoughtful conversation. The neighborhood is easy to navigate and comfortable to explore. Loved it.
Rupinda's apartment was a great location for me, cool in the hot weather, and plenty of space. He was friendly and responded quickly when I needed a new lightbulb, an iron, then an ironing board. The not-so-good: Quaint--unit and old house need some work. Not a lot of natural light. Bathroom is small, needs work. Many outlets but most are so old that plugs don't fit. But it was fine for my needs. Thank you, Rupinda!
You canât beat this house for its proximity to public transportation, Macalester College and charming neighborhoods! My only caveat is that this 3rd floor space has very narrow stairs with a tight turn on the 2nd floor landing. Folks with bulky hard luggage might find it awkward to maneuver those stairs.
Very comfortable place and nice to have the generous treats, food and beverage available.
One suggestion: the listing should mention the stairs which were fine for me but challenging for others of my age and older.
Thanks, Rupinder!

Amazing! In one word.
This was probably the best situation for us. Looked small in pictures but lots of space and room. Also very cozy lots of thoughtful amenities and beautiful art! We will be back. We love it and we love St Paul!
We enjoyed our stay here. The home is older and full of charm, so if youâre looking for something more modern, this might not be the right fit. For us, it was perfect. Rupinderâs communication was very good. We were able to check in early because of our morning flight, and were greeted with some chocolate. We had everything we needed, including a very comfortable bed with great pillows and linens! We will definitely try to stay here when visiting the Twin Cities in the future.
The property could use a little improvement. I expected more for the money. The reviews made it attractive so we gave it a try. The bathroom was small, and due to the design I had to lean over to use the toilet.There was a coffee pot full of mold. I contacted the property manager who apologized and took care of it. Not what I anticipated
Traveling as a single woman I appreciated the safety of the property and the neighborhood. The room was clean and spacious and hosts were thoughtful. Would definitely stay again.
A very comfortable apartment in a great location close to restaurants and our family. We appreciated the coffee and cream, the air conditioning and space for us to spread out.
