About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Private bedroom in a cute old hardwood charm unit -next to Macalester college.
1703 St Clair is right next to Macalester College & a block from the coffee / restaurant rich Grand Street. A very walkable space. You will have your own private bedroom with a comfortable queen sized bed/AC & a SHARED private bathroom, dining, sun room & kitchen with the host. Its a cozy, restored 1895 building with built-ins / old hardwoods. Host is a chef - who loves to entertain and share, guests can avail home experience of street fusion food, wine and coffee / local treats. This space is more suitable for guests who like to intermingle and are okay with some level of social interactions with the host since we are sharing the rest of the home other than the private bedroom. The bedroom is not large but comfortable with a queen bed, and a large window which has a window AC during summer and Radiater heat in winter.

Small bedroom, charming host
The host was lovely, and the location, great! The bedroom is very small, and a bit claustrophobic. The check-in was easy, and the host had left a pitcher of cool water for us, which was much appreciated on a hot day. The kitchen was not very tidy. The host provided a delicious breakfast for us.

Just what I Needed
The host was great. Quant older house with a lot of character right next to McAllester College, where I was visiting my daughter. The host met me on my arrival. There was everything I needed to enjoy the weekend stay. Will happily book again when I visit next time.

Great location, host was great
We had a great stay, my wife two young children and me. Rupinar’s place is charming and lovely. He brought us a delicious loaf of walnut bread. Found some dust under the beds, would not have noticed if baby wasn’t crawling everywhere.
