Best airbnb experience we've had, outstanding in every way. The house is spacious, clean, well-appointed, well decorated, has a lot of cool details, with numerous interesting Minneapolis and Minnesota books that were interesting, all in a fantastic location. There was a bottle of chardonnay in the fridge, as well as some excellent beer to try. I especially enjoyed the Alt 1848. The host was very responsive and offered some good suggestions for dining and cocktails, although we really weren't there long enough to take advantage of a lot that the city has to offer. We were primarily riding our ebikes on the Grand Rounds path, which was very enjoyable. I'm not yet comfortable being around people indoors so we didn't get to check out the numerous interesting tours, museums, or indoor anything.
About the GR path, it is second to none IMO. We've taken the bikes all over the midwest, to Hilton Head, and to Sanibel and nothing was as enjoyable as what we experienced in MSP. Before arriving, we spent a few days in Prquot Lake, riding the Paul Bunyan trail, which was also nice, but nothing anywherecompares with MSP.
We will be back and we will stay at James' place again when we do.
