The Urban Cabin sure beats a hotel room. We stayed a week while our daughter had a ski race in Theodore Wirth Park. The Urban Cabin's proximity to the park, but also downtown was just fantastic. We ended up renting a car. While we could have gotten away without it, driving and parking was super easy. There's plenty of on street parking.
The space itself was also great for three of us: my wife, my 12 year old daughter and me. My wife and I stayed in the bedroom while our daughter slept on the couch. The couch isn't a pull out, but makes for a nice bed and Katie supplied sheets and blankets. She slept great. We made meals in the kitchen, ate in the dining room, and hung out in the living room.
Katie is an excellent communicator. She responded to questions quickly and gave us a heads up about the plowing schedule after a snowstorm.
We would definitely stay again if visiting the Twin Cities.
