It was truly a gift experiencing city life outside of Downtown Minneapolis at Susan and Boris' home. Though I didn't get a chance to personally meet them, they had their accommodations set up to seamlessly check-in and check-out. All the amenities you need for a stress-free stay will be waiting there for you if you forget the minor details when packing: snacks, drinks, towels, toiletries, etc. They will have a list of recommendations waiting for you to get you oriented with the city (trust each one)! Their home is also beautifully decorated and their thoughtfulness can be felt at every turn.
The location is central and the city is beautifully planned with public transit and bike paths. Their home is only a block over from the main street to access eats and an active bus to and from Downtown. You can also rent a bike to easily get to Uptown and experience that neighborhood as well as the nearby nature trails along the Mississippi River.
