Retro Gem Box Victorian Steps from Irvine Park

Good location

The location is great for being close to downtown St. Paul. We appreciated the 700 old VHS tapes and the lack of a tv was fine for us. Basic furnishings. No toaster as an example. Matresses were hard and cheap. No washcloths in the bathroom. This is a basic location that I believe is overpriced. HOWEVER saying all these things if the price was cheaper I would recommend for a short stay. I felt safe in the neighborhood and had no issues with out side noise or downstairs occupants.

The location and property were great. The check in process was rough. I didn’t receive any check in info before arrival and then it took a bit to connect to the property owner. I think this was a minor issue that the owner will correct moving forward. He did a good job communicating once we were in the unit. I recommend if you don’t have instructions the day before to reach out to the owner for information.

We had the most amazing experience at this location. The place is exactly as advertised. I soft welcoming feel to a time when things were simpler. Very clean and the manager helped us fix the small issues we had right away. They offer some modern features, but it is intentionally left in a time period for you remember simpler times. People who complain about this location obviously don't know how to read as it shouldn't suprize anyone there isn't a TV in the location haha. If you want a place to relax after a long day doing vacation things, I couldn't recommend this place more.

This place was tiny said it sleeps four not mention it needed to be two couples! Talk about the bare minimum available there a vcr and a bunch of old tapes no television is this not 2024? Thank God we were hardly there we spent our time at the family’s house only went to sleep here and that was a challenge.. This bnb is a money grab it’s only about money not about the guest the washer didn’t even work lol.. I’m sure you won’t let this make it to your page which is fine as long as you guys see it!!!!
