I stayed at Christine and Alejandro’s house for three months during my internship, and it immediately felt like staying with family. We did so much together – we went paddleboarding and biking, she took me to farmers markets, we cooked dinner together, and they invited me to their social events. This really felt like a home to me. I had a great time just chilling out in their back garden and making salsa together. I’m so glad I stayed here because it gave me a whole community of people to share my summer in Minneapolis with.
Their house is also in a great location. It’s very walkable, and there are good restaurants and cafes nearby, and it’s also close to Lake Harriet and many bike trails. It is the best neighborhood! They welcomed me into their social circles, and I am going to really miss my hosts and their neighbors. Definitely consider staying here if you’ll be in the area for awhile and want to feel like you’re staying with family.
