3 of us stayed at Silvio's for 3 nights. He was very helpful in making sure we got to his place at a very late hour, and he had a off-street parking sace for our rental car. There were fresh towels and a complete kitchen, which I always love having on the road for preparing food. The basement apartment is simple and affordable and I slept good each night. His place is well situated for bicycling to Downtown. In 5 blocks we were on the Red River bike path. Not to mention the Red River ice skating path (which if you're up for an adventure, is a good bike path alternative in a snowstorm). When I needed an iron to press my clothes for a presentation I had to give, he got it for me right away. Thanks for putting us up Silvio!
