Soft Landing: housing during divorce or separation.

The middle part nobody plans for.

Between the decision and the next address there are usually a few months that need a roof: someone has to move out first, the house has to sell, school has to finish, an agreement has to be signed. Hotels are built for three nights. Leases are built for a year.

This home is built for the part in between. It is an entire upper level with its own entrance, three real bedrooms, a dining table, a desk and a full kitchen, on a tree-lined street two minutes from downtown Saint Paul. Hosted by the same person for nine years.

You will not be asked why. You will be asked when, for how long, and how many of you there are.

“We each had quiet space to work during the day and then relax in the comfortable living room together in the evening.”

“The most surprising thing was how quiet it was.”

Why guests in transition choose this home

  • Privacy, on a quiet street

    An entire upper level with its own entrance in a residential neighborhood. No lobby, no front desk, no hallway.

  • Rooms for the kids

    Three bedrooms, so children keep a room of their own during weeks with you. Schools, parks and Como Zoo are close.

  • A real kitchen and a real table

    Normal dinners at a dining table go a long way. Full kitchen, formal dining room, groceries walkable.

  • No lease, no furniture truck

    Thirty nights or more, furnished and equipped. Extend month to month while decisions are being made.

  • A host, not a hotline

    Nine years hosting, 100% response rate, replies within the hour. Ask for anything from a mid-stay clean to a second desk.

  • Close to the courthouse and counsel

    Two minutes to downtown Saint Paul and the Ramsey County courts; ten to downtown Minneapolis.

My parents stayed in their upper duplex for a month and were very comfortable. Whenever they had a question or there was something they needed, William was very communicative and prompt.

Four steps. The first one is a few sentences.

  1. Tell us your timing

    A few lines: when you need a place, for roughly how long, who is coming with you. No paperwork, no application fee.

  2. We confirm within the day

    William replies personally with availability and a written quote for the whole stay. Month-to-month extensions are normal here.

  3. Move in with a suitcase

    Furnished, linens and kitchen basics in place, Wi-Fi on, keypad code sent before you arrive. Private entrance, free parking.

  4. Stay as long as you need

    Extend, shorten with notice, or move on when the next chapter is ready. We will still be here.

Quiet, room for everyone, and a host who answers.
