Kimber's place is beautiful, spacious, restful. We enjoyed the play of light in the living room, the beautiful decor, artwork, and interesting design, much of which was Kimber's work. The beds are comfy, the bathroom and kitchen spacious, with everything we needed for cooking. Kimber said that she tries to keep the kitchen stocked with some of the basics for cooking, and there's plenty of spices, condiments, coffee, tea - the things you don't think about until you need them, things that you don't want to purchase for just a couple of days. We were visiting a student at the University of Minnesota and found the the location really convenient to everything we needed - a food co-op a couple of blocks down, restaurants, gas station,the riverside parkway, the riverside hiking trail, good transportation access, and the university. (And a place that sells award-winning mini-doughnuts.) For us, cat lovers, the two friendly cats were a bonus!

Kimber is a considerate and delightful host. She greeted us warmly and showed us around. Kimber's studio/living space is downstairs, and we would stop and chat (or ask questions) on our way in or out. She was very helpful in providing tips on places to go in the city and directions on how to get there. We enjoyed talking with her as much as we enjoyed her beautiful apartment, because she's so interesting and enthusiastic!

Even though we were just upstairs from her, we had the space to ourselves. That was important, because we spent quiet mornings relaxing in that beautiful living room, started our day in the city (and environs) late morning, and came back late.

We really enjoyed our stay in that relaxing, beautiful environment. My daughter was sad to leave. I've already recommended Kimber's place to others.

P.S. Kimber directed us to the Riverside Parkway to get to the airport. This seemed like a much better route (easier, quick, pretty) than the highway or other routes through the city.
