We had a fantastic stay at Christ and Monica's place. It was clean and spacious and only a few blocks walk from downtown. There were snacks and beverages there for us if we needed them which was a really nice addition. There were even bikes we could sign out for the day if we wanted to do that instead of walking. We used the metro to get between Minneapolis and St. Paul and only had to walk a couple blocks to get to the station - we didn't get back until really late Saturday and had no issue with safety. Check in was very easy and we were able to take our time checking out on Sunday. I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking to stay around the cities.
