I was very happy to have found Bliss's listing. She and her husband have provided easy access to a lovely room for Minneapolis visitors. It was exceptionally clean, as others have noted; a large comfortable room with small fridge & microwave, coffee maker and hot pot for boiling water. Of note is a wall-sized mirror that enhances the ambiance, and is conducive to practicing your exercises, Tai Chi, or dance poses in front of. On a very hot Minneapolis day, the a/c was welcomingly cool. Although a basement (partial) room, three large windows allow plenty of light. The spacious bathroom is divided from the bedroom with a charming pocket door. There are plenty of luxurious towels, and a powerful shower. Throughout the room there are many lighting choices to fit your needs or mood, and I understand the floor is heated in the winter! When I returned from my evening's activity, I found Bliss, her husband and neighbors around a huge table in the large backyard, where it is a regular occurrence to gather under the tiki torchlights. If you stay there, Bliss will explain all the other interesting aspects of the yard. We'll keep that a secret for now! As you can tell, I highly recommend Bliss's place for your stay in the twin cities. The location is close to the freeways and to downtown.
