Sarah's place was cute and the location was perfect. Previously lived in MN and knew the area to be sketchy but never felt unsafe or concerned at Sarah's. It was a nice block she lives on with some friendly neighbors we met across the street. It was never noisy and we felt secluded from the traffic down the street (I slept with my window open and never heard anything to wake me up). New windows (either triple/dual paned) and good air flow with the screened porch door and windows in kitchen and dining area. School park was down the street and the beginning of Powderhorn Park/Lake. New playgrounds have recently been added to the Powderhorn park and one was about a block and a half from Sarah's. Great walking paths around the lake. Waking distance to so many good restaurants and the Mid-town Market. (Check out Tiny Diner, especially when it is nice outside, lovely outdoor seating area, great food and staff is super friendly). Front porch area was awesome to hang out in with couches, a rocking chair and my favorite, a porch swing. Had a nice enclosed, private backyard with a picnic table and fire pit. Steam shower in basement was cute and quite roomy and had new tile. Good size washer and dryer, which helped when traveling with kids. Loved the layout of the house and and the proximity to so many places. Would definitely stay there again. Just a few notes (but nothing that would hinder us from coming back): Three of the beds were pretty hard if you prefer softer beds. Family are either side or stomach sleepers so they were a little hard, but the other two were better. One of the rooms is a connecting porch which was cute but a little cold and bright in the morning and had to go through master bedroom. Originally used it for a kid room, which was awesome until the porch became too cold when the temps dropped because of no heating vents. The smallest room also seems to be a back porch room and doesn't have vents coming in, although it has nice new dual/triple paned windows and gets good airflow with warmer weather and kept the cold weather out which became the kid room. Basement "bathroom" shared with the laundry room. It had the second toilet that hugged the dryer so had to turn a little bit to use, especially in the cooler mornings when the dryer was cold. Also if people are walking up/down stairs you can see who is on the toilet. There are curtains and other things used for privacy for getting in/out of the steamer/shower though. Helpful that someone reviewed that here was no microwave, but was a little unprepared for no coffee maker. Although if you needed one, there was a Family Dollar across from Mid-town Market or a Target was not too far away to get one cheap. Could also walk down to Mayday Cafe, four blocks away...
