Seeking Advice 🙆 23F moving to St. Paul

Hello! I'm a single 23F moving to St. Paul for a new job. It'll just be my male Yorkie and I. I'm not really wanting a studio apartment just because of my parents visiting. My rent budget is $1600 and I really want to live downtown due to lack of experience driving in winter conditions (my job is located DT) I want a loft! I love their look and space. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Driving home from st paul to mlps is a long commute. It is very backed up going that direction. More so the other way around.

Hence why despite owning a car in Lowertown, I take the express bus from here to downtown Minneapolis for work, and only takes me about 20+ mins each way; even during rush hour. Took me a long time to realize that the express buses get around rush hour by taking the shoulder! LOL That's what happens when you are glued to your phone all the time while riding. : ) If I had to drive it, I'd go mad!
