Yeah, yeah. I know I've been in my apartment for all of one month. And yes, I just finished almost an entire year of non-stop travel. But wouldn't you like to spend your winter in Louisiana/Colorado/New Mexico if you could? Well, I'm gonna try. But in order to make that happen, I need to sublet my little slice of St. Paul heaven.
Here are the details!
Dates: February 1 - April 30th, 2012 (but I'm pretty flexible and can go two weeks in either direction)
Bedrooms: 2
Square footage: 640
Location: Cathedral Hill, St. Paul.
You guys. This neighborhood is what I like to call "The America They Show In Movies." You know, big old Victorian houses with sprawling lawns. Independent coffee shops. Those old-fashioned street lights. Garrison Keillor's book store, for the love of Pete.
You're blocks from: multiple bars, a co-op, a huge thrift store, the bus stop, a hardware store, a million coffee shops, boutiques, the YWCA and tons of other great stuff.
Apartment awesomery: three closets (include a huge walk-in with shelves in the back bedroom), a pantry, hardwood floors throughout, super sunny third floor front corner surrounded by trees, gas stove, wifi, free off-street parking and it even comes furnished.
This is perfect if you're moving to the Twin Cities for grad school, an internship or a short-term work contract. Or if you need a temporary landing pad while you search for something long term!
Cost: $700 + utilities (Yes, really. Thank you, Minnesota.)
If you're interested, email me at sarah (at) yesandyes (dot) org. And I'd be crazy grateful if you'd forward this link to anybody you think would be interested! Thanks, team!

You are a wizard at decorating. I love seeing it!
Thanks so much, Hal! It's still pretty spare for my taste but it's getting there!
I think the simplicity really adds to the style! I love those low floating bookshelves under the window!
More important that that, Ms Sarah Von- where/when will you be in New Mexico, and can I take you out to dinner?
I am in Albuquerque, think you are kind of awesome, and have excellent things to share in my city. (I could also share those things safely though email, so you don't have to hang out with random internet folk.)
Welcome to the southwest!
Cait,
I don't really know where in NM I'll be. I just know I want to head there after two weeks in Colorado. I'll probably be there late March/early April!
Two weeks in Colorado? That's plenty of time for some excellent shenanigans, and I know where all the shenanigans are to be had!
I think there needs to be an official Colorado meet-up, if your schedule allows.
WHAT. I pay almost 600 in Vancouver and all it gets me is a room (with a tiny wardrobe) in a 5 bedroom house. I need to get my butt to St.Paul
$700??? No wonder you can afford to see the world!
Maria,
Yup! Although, to be fair that's way, way less than it should be. Most apartments in the neighborhood at $1,000.
Great look! Totally love what you've done with the place. I so wish I could visit the "America They Show in the Movies". Sounds purty awesome.
And can I just say, I love what you've done with your header.

Y'all should move to Arkansas. My rent for a two bedroom is $630 + utilities! And that's kind of up there since it's a college town and rentals are in demand!
Howdy Neighbor! I live in the Cathedral Hill area, too. And $700 for a two bedroom is unheard of. So someone should JUMP on this! I can confirm how AWESOME this neighborhood is. Gorgeous, the kind you want to take long walks in, ride your bike around, photograph, etc. Pick out your favorite house on Summit Avenue - the premiere street in Saint Paul. Plus new boutiques have been popping up the past 2 years and are doing really well. Its one of those 'hoods to live in that are really cool before EVERYONE knows how cool it is. I high five the person who takes this opportunity! :)
Sleepingspot!
Hello! If you ever see me at Nina's or Sweeney's, come say hi! And yes, I know that's crazy cheap. Which is why I'm just going to sublet and come and go FOREVA. Like, I'm not leaving unless I marry Ryan Gosling and he makes me move to LA ;)
Your apartment is so cute! Also, SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS?? This is seriously blowing my east-coast mind. In Boston that gets me one quarter of a lovely four bedroom with roommates. But a two bedroom with three closets would be impossible to find for under 1500 (and probably 2000 for a non-sketchy neighborhood). Super jealous. :)
Totally unrelated, but I noticed that Colorado was listed! When/where will you be in the CO?
Christine! I'll be in Crested Butte, probably late March/early April!
That really is an adorable apartment!
What a sweet little home you have! I love how well you've pared down your possessions. I'll be looking back at these for inspiration. :) Good luck with finding a subletter!
Really cool apt.
One of my friends is moving to Minnesota, I dont know what place it is. I will forward this link to him.
Thanks for sharing this info...
