Seward House is exactly as described. It has historical charm but all the updated comforts of today. I was in Minneapolis for only four full days, with a lot of sights on my list to see, and this home was in a great location for getting anywhere I wanted to go. I went to St. Paul, Minnehaha Falls, the Mall of America, downtown Minneapolis, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Loring Park and the nearby sculpture garden, the Guthrie Theater and the nearby Stone Arch Bridge and Mill City Farmers Market, and Betty Danger's Country Club (check it out if you like quirky places) -- all without a car. The light rail is a short walk, and buses are available for anywhere the light rail doesn't reach. Barb even provides a bike for your use. Speaking of Barb, she's a wonderful host. She met me at the house upon check-in. She had placed fresh flowers in the house and a small box of chocolates as a gift for me. Like others have said here, she provided all kinds of breakfast foods and snacks, a very nice touch that you don't get with most Airbnb places. She provided lots of info on local restaurants, etc., and was very quick to respond if I had a question during my stay. The beds are super-comfy, and I loved the large soaking tub. I imagine it's wonderful to take a hot bath in the winter, but I was there during warm, humid summer days and it was also nice to come back after a long day of sight-seeing and cool off in a relaxing bath. As a woman travelling alone, I am always concerned about safety. I felt completely safe staying in this home and walking to and from the light rail. The general area lacks some of the polish and glitz you would get staying downtown, but it is comfortable, convenient, authentic, and safe. A lovely place!
