The location of this place couldn’t be more amazing; I got off of my flight, onto the light rail, and the 10 minute walk from the metro station to the house took me through Minnehaha park and past Minnehaha Falls (which is basically right down the street from the house). The area is surrounded by parks, trails, creeks and lakes - you’d have to stay there and go explore to understand how cool it is.
David (the host) and his partner live in the unit next door, and they were both friendly and pleasant to chat with. They gave me some info on where to ride my bike, and I was able to explore Minneapolis and St. Paul via the trails that all converge at Minnehaha Park. The Minnehaha Creek Trail and West River Parkway Trail are standout. And Minnehaha Falls is worth the visit, too.
The house was also great with lots of natural light - loved the book collection, too!
