My stay with Pat was wonderful! Her well-lived-in home is full of interesting things and is very cozy, comfortable and quiet for those needing reliable rest. Her two cats, Kiwi and Kyle, are super relaxed and are very comfortable being your friend for your stay.
Best of all, though, is Pat, who is a veritable fount of unique perspective and fascinating experiences to hear about! If you have the time I HIGHLY recommend picking her brain and learning about the work she does and the things she's been involved with over the past few years!
The listing is directly adjacent to a school, but I was happy to find that traffic and parking were not a problem whatsoever for my morning and evening commutes to/from work.
The area is somewhat secluded, but provides very easy access to Cedar Ave which brings you to HWY 212, which connects you to just about every major highway in the area for easy commutes. I used it daily during my stay to commute to work in Eden Prairie and found it very amenable. Definitely a good place for someone who wants a calm, easy-to-get-to home base from which to explore the city or stay while on business.
