Riverview Walks - North room

It was great overall... definitely more affordable than your "typical" hotel, motel or B&B... and very comfortable, clean, very pleasant. Lane was very pleasant and helpful, too, just "as advertised" in other people's comments. The location is quiet, with easy access to downtown Saint Paul (and therefore via there to Minneapolis as well.) Even if you're not driving, the bus system is close and works well. Absolutely no complaints, it was a great experience.

My second stay there and it was as enjoyable as the first. Thanks, Lane

Lane was easy to communicate by email and the home was easy to find with his directions even in the dark. The house is clean enough but rather stark...and it looks sort of like perhaps he is in the midst of rennovating it. It would be worthwhile having a weekend painting party to spruce it up tho the living room appears to have recently achieved an upgraded status. I would stay there again.

My host for the weekend, Lane, was great company during my down time on a short trip to the twin cities for a wedding. He was accommodating and considerate, provided a clean bed and clean room and was critical in helping me coordinate some of my transportation obligations. The house is situated in an older, established neighborhood about 2 miles south of downtown St Paul and is perfectly located if you are planning on spending a lot of time in St Paul. Minneapolis is ~$35 cab ride or a little over an hour on the bus.

Great place....Clean and comfortable. Lane is an excellent host. Everything went well with my stay there.

Lane was a genial host, his home small, neat, and clean, convenient to downtown St Paul. I will definitely check out his availability when I return to the twin cities area.

Nice stay...I rode the city bus into St Paul and traveled early morning and late evening...adventurous, but felt safe. Room was pleasant, air conditioning appreciated. Thoroughly enjoyed meeting fellow Airbnb traveler at the house. I never saw the described permanent resident and the house did not feel as if there were one, though communication with Lane was prompt and easy.

The room and house are well appointed, and the description/pictures are accurate. Lane was very prompt in his email responses and accomodating. He made the effort to correct a problem with payment, which was much appreciated. I reccomend this place!

Lane was very prompt with all my email questions. Room description on website is accurate. I had car, on street parking easy, and would recommend car for this house, especially if you are going to be in St. Paul/Minneapolis late at night as I was.

A Charming House in a Charming neighborhood. Elliot and Kristin were great hosts and Lane had great communication through email. I highly recommend staying here. I needed to stay a bit longer and Lane was very accommodating. They have great animals- a kitty and a pup...so cuddly and adorable! Thanks again Lane!!

Lane was really friendly & helpful during my stay there. He even offered to cook breakfast at times. The place is very convenient as restaurants, markets, california ave caltrain station & the stanford marguerite shuttle are within a 10 minutes walk. The housemates are really friendly as well.

Lane was a great host. The location is unbeatable and the room is well-maintained and clean. There isn't much privacy but the other roommates are considerate and Lane, who is organized and helpful, keeps everything going smoothly.

The location is perfect, and the room is very comfortable! Meg was awesome, and she even let me ship some business cards to her work, and had them waiting for me. I would definitely stay here again- thanks!

I stayed here for two months. The room is clean, tidy and spacious. The bed is large and comfortable and there is always a big stack of fresh bedding and towels on hand. The desk and chair are great for working at, although it is also possible to sit out in the common area or on the balcony. A lot of people who stay here are working for start-ups or tech companies, coders and hackers will not be short of conversation. Everyone I met here was friendly and I'll be keeping in contact with a number of people. In short, staying at this room will be way more fun than going to a hotel. There are usually a bunch of great people here but with the private room you can also get some peace and quiet to work or relax.

My stay with Lane was excellent and I will stay again. Lane is truly running for president and is a great person to have a conversation with.

It was a good experience. I did not meet Lane because he was travelling. But his housemate Meg was very generous to me. The room is clean and in order, and so close to the village (2 min walking). It is easy to catch bus to Stanford, and very convenient to walk to the CalTrain to the airport too. I would definitely recommend this place for your stay.

We really enjoyed our accomodations. Thanks

Both Lane and Meg are great hosts. If you want to find a place near Stanford University, I highly recommend you to contact them to book this nice and friendly place.

5 stars for the warmth and friendliness!

Repeat customer. Just as awesome as last time. Will stay again.

Lane is great guy. I have known him for a couple of years and had great experiences with him. He will make a great host.

Lane is a very generous and caring individual, who will pull out all the stops to make sure you have a great stay. He is organised and communicative. I had an amazing time while I was in the Valley and it was in large part thanks to Lane for facilitating it. I would have no hesitation recommending Lane as a host or guest on Airbnb.

I've haven't had the opportunity to stay as an overnight guest, but I rent Lane's Minnesota house. It has been a wonderful experience, primarily because of Lane. As a first time house renter (I'd been doing the apartment route), he offered up his furniture to help me get a quick start. His readiness to listen and his friendly nature has makes Lane the best landlord I've had.

I have known Lane for about 5 years and on yearly visits he has always brought wonderful conversation to the table, good yoga stretching time to the floor and filled my home with tiny trinkets from his travels. I am sure you will find him as charming as I always have. I would second what has already been written below.

I met Lane during one of our West Coast swings. He’s one of those laid back, smart, real people that you hope to meet, but seem to be harder and harder to come by these days. No doubt we’ll be staying with Lane during our next Bay Area visit.

When I have stayed with Lane, he offers more than he leaves for himself, whether it be piles of blankets, paperbacks, or food out of the fridge.

Lane's one of the good guys, honor bound to extend warm southern-style hospitality.

Lane is one of the friendliest and most hospitable people I know. He loves meeting new people, making him the perfect AirBnB host. Be prepared to engage in fun conversation :-)
