Cheri’s place is a cozy studio in a quiet neighborhood right off the river parkway. I was there in February, which doesn’t stop Minnesotans from running and biking along the river, but I can imagine it’s much nicer in the summer.
Cheri was a great host and very responsive to any problem that arose. The apartment was very clean and tidy, and had everything needed to cook meals in the kitchen.
There are a few busses nearby (about a ten minute walk) and restaurants, a grocery store, and shops nearby (also about a ten minute walk). If you’re planning on using solely public transportation to get around, this may not be the best spot. If you’re staying in the summer, downtown Minneapolis is just a short bike ride along the river.
