We really enjoyed staying at Alexandra's place! It's in a perfect location - near the river for nature walks, near lots of restaurants and coffee shops and a grocery store (Whole Foods), and also next door to some of the most historic sites in Minneapolis (e.g., Saint Anthony Falls). One doesn't need a car to have a great holiday in this area! The place was clean, spacious, quiet, and warm (during one of the coldest spells this year). We enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen, playing board games at the dining room table, and watching films in the cosy living room. Thanks Alexandra!
