This is a gem of a stay because of the amenities (just clean up after yourself) as it makes you feel like you're staying at your inlaw's place but they had to head out of town at the last minute - it has that nice home feel (actually brought back a lot of fond memories of my childhood growing up in south Minneapolis). The location is a 5-minute walk to a huge pharmacy with restaurants near it and an 11-minute walk to a major supermarket. it's about a 15-minute walk to LA Fitness and Caribou Coffee for coffee, bagels, and a great workout before you start the day. The location is also on a bus line which makes it great for either going further into the city or further outside of the city; both offer great adventures. There are large mall clusters all within a 40-minute walk. There is also a laundromat 3-minutes down the road, plus more...for sure you get a lot for the money (just be respectful and clean up after yourself:-)
