MINNeSTAY* Grand Residence Grand Ave | Modern

Welcome to Grand Residence!

Located in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the Twin Cities, Saint Paul's Grand Residence has endless amenities. Shopping, dining, recreations, and the famous Grand Ole Day in June, there is truly something for everyone here. You'll be less than half a block from the fantastic Kowalski's Market, perfect for picking up groceries and a bottle of wine. Or if you're thinking of dining out or ordering in, there's Indian, Korean, Pizza, and American food within half a block.

The home features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, an office for teleworking, a three-season porch, a wet bar, board games, outdoor fire pit, and located only 2 miles from the Mississippi River.

• Master bedroom (takes up the entire upper floor) has a King bed, private bath with extensive closet space. The second bedroom (main floor) has a comfy Queen with a modest walk-in closet, and the third bedroom (main floor) doubles as an office with a single bed and a desk facing a window that looks out onto the backyard. Truly a bright and scenic office for anyone working away from home.
• Two full bathrooms: The master bath has a newly remodeled walk-in shower. Tucked into a corner of the master suite, it is hidden behind a half-wall but is not fully enclosed. The main floor full bath shares a hallway with the other two bedrooms, while the half bath is in the basement entertainment den.
• A fully stocked kitchen perfect for cooking meals - great for stays short and long
• Three-season porch – perfect to have a cup of coffee on a warm summer morning!
• Board games and Pacman!
• Fire pit in the backyard surrounded by Adirondack chairs and gas grill

Wonderful week for the fam!
There's nothing really to say except how it went. Everything was smooth, everything was easy, communication was fabulous and the place was as advertised and then some. Plenty of room for us and plenty close to all the necessities and entertainment we needed. The video game and Lounge downstairs is a beautiful touch and the backyard is a wonderful little tucked away area where you can feel private but still be close to everything. We had many cookouts and play sessions. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out that needed to go to bed at different times due to the kids. And anytime there was a question we got an answer quickly. Highly recommend the house, and area. Thanks so much for having us!!

Grand Avenue
The location was excellent, within walking distance to Kowalski’s Grocery and a number of good restaurants and coffee shops. The house was an old well cared for craftsman. The upstairs stairway has short steps that can be difficult for an adult. The dishwasher was necessarily quite small given the available kitchen cabinet space leading the three of us to need to run it often.

Great charming house in a fantastic location that was close to everything. Super comfy bed and all the basic amenities provided to get our trip started without extra efforts. Minnestay really goes above and beyond with their properties so looking forward to returning to their places again after this first time in one.

Great location
This location was the perfect spot for our vacation to Saint Paul, MN! Loved running along Summit and Grand Ave! A quick walk to so many restaurants, shops, and coffee houses. The top floor master room was nice and cold for sleeping on a hot summer days! The basement bar and game room with Pac-Man and darts was super fun!

This house is in a great location and it is the cutest house! We have stayed here twice now and just love it! The little things like soap, extra toothbrushes/toothpaste, coffee, laundry detergent, lotion, shampoo, etc., are all wonderful and make you feel welcome! Would definitely recommend this property!

My company travels the country setting up structures for events and other activations. As such we utilize VRBO often. This property in St. Paul is excellent. All amenities are present as described and the property manager's communication is outstanding. The property is very comfortable and accommodating.

Beautiful St Paul home
This is a lovely, updated older home in a quiet neighborhood in St. Paul. The 2nd floor attic has been turned into a large master suite with a beautiful bathroom. Pros: immaculate 1/2 block to groceries, restaurants Coffee shop Lovely neighborhood to walk around Close to Macalester college & St Thomas 2 parking spots in back 3 beds w/different mattresses for all comfort levels Spacious living/dining area Back deck updated & fire pit in yard Interactions with Minnestay very pleasant. Cons: main bathroom on 1st floor had plumbing issues, shower head broken, (replaced during our stay). Hot water in sink was a trickle, needed plumber to fix. Hopefully this will be resolved prior to other visitors. If not for the plumbing issues, this would be 5/5.

Cute little house in a great location
If you love the character and charm of a 100-year old home, this is a good choice for you. Some of the doorways and walkways were a little tight, but the renovations were well done, especially the second floor main suite. Everything was pretty clean and in good repair, and the owners/managers were easy to work with. The best part of the property was the location. Close proximity to so much of what St Paul and the surrounding area have to offer. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Neighborhood!
Nice, comfortable property. Great neighborhood, very close to a good grocery and liquor store. Lots of great restaurants nearby. It was lovely to sit in the backyard and have coffee in the morning. The major drawback is that the stairs to the upper level master bedroom are very shallow - my whole foot did not fit and I have small feet. The staircase is also quite steep and not well lit - not a drawback for younger, active people, but not recommended for the elderly.

Charming, convenient Grand Ave. Bungalow!
We dropped our daughter off for college at St Thomas and didn't want the hassle of a hotel, parking ramp, etc. We were 5 blocks from her and it was the most relaxing stay we've had in the Cities! We could walk to restaurants, bars, shopping. We walked daily to Kowalski's for groceries to cook/snack-they are THE NICEST people! We walked to Iron Ranger (awesome bar/restaurant with live music and the coolest manager around..Liz V.), and The Colossal Cafe on the corner is great for breakfast and lunch! Clean and cozy with character is this home with plenty of room for my husband and I, both of our daughters (17 and 21) and a boyfriend:) We had everything we needed for cooking, drinking wine, laundry, easy parking in the alley. House was plenty cool because it was really hot this week, and evenings on the back deck with wine were perfect. We will definitely be back as we'll be watching Tommie basketball games all winter! Thanks so much for our new home away from home:)

Great neighborhood. Nice place.
9/10. Really a very nice place, great location. Only one issue (and this might be nitpicking) but there was a partially full trash can in the game room and some dirty laundry on top of washer. I called to ask if they had any preference about where I should put the dirty laundry but got an answering machine and never received a call back. Otherwise an outstanding place and I suspect that those oversights will be addressed in the future.
