The house was clean and comfortable for our group of four. The kitchen was well-supplied and there was plenty of seating. It was a great location for getting to downtown St. Paul, Stillwater, and other places in the MSP area.
Between the location (just off I35E/694 and near all things Maplewood) and space, this house was just what we needed. More spacious than it seems from the outside, we were pleasantly surprised. With 6 of us, we did not feel cramped at all. Well stocked kitchen and bath and washer/dryer were very useful. I would definitely stay here again.
The property was ideally situated for me and my three brothers for a family gathering in July. We could easily access most places in the Twin Cities very quickly from this location.
The house was clean and comfortable for me and my brothers' needs. The fact that there were two full baths was great. While we did not cook using the kitchen the fact that the owner provided some basic staples in the way of seasonings was a nice touch.
We had ample space to park our two vehicles and the site was convenient to grocery or liquor stores as well as restaurants.

Not as advertised
Pictures on VRBO were extremely misleading from what the property actually was. The house has a distinct cat smell, but did not look like anyone lived there. We had to buy multiple everyday items for the house. Staining and uncleanliness on walls and ceilings in bathrooms and living areas.

Beware of Damage Deposit
Pay attention to the damage deposit. They will charge you, even if you did not cause the damage. We rented this home over Christmas break to visit family. During the last day of our stay, we noticed the carpet in the basement was wet. I immediately informed the owner as I didn't want them to incur any long-term issues. He sent maintenance right away. He unlocked the mechanical room door and saw that the water heater had a leak and was seeping under the wall to the carpet. They had a new water heater dropped off in the garage to replace it. It was a shock to me when I returned home and saw a request for over $1200 to replace the water heater and dry out the carpet. Clearly, I did not cause the water heater to leak. I didn't even know where the water heater was or have access to it. It's crazy to me that the owner feels he can get away with charging this to me simply because I was there when it happened. Since I agreed to a $600 damage deposit hold on my card when I booked, that was automatically charged to my card without any authorization needed from me. VRBO is claiming to be investigating, but it appears they are more likely to side with the owner who pays to be on their platform. If you don't want to pay for a homeowner's regular home maintenance, DO NOT RENT from this property owner. You could be the unlucky one who is staying on the property when something completely unrelated to you goes wrong.
