This is my fourth Airbnb, and it's the best so far. It's located in one of the coolest areas of Minneapolis: "Eat Street" is on the other side of the block; the Minneapolis Institute of Art and its school, MCAD, are a block away; LynLake, Uptown, the Chain of Lakes, the Midtown Greenway for walking and biking, and downtown Minneapolis are close by. There's a free parking space behind the building and a lovely yard for use during Minneapolis' few milliseconds of summer (my visit was Thanksgiving weekend, so I didn't partake). Inside the cozy apartment, Colin (an MCAD grad himself) has created a marvelous world of historic, artistic, and useful objects -- when I was there, the kitchen was equipped with every conceivable utensil, and the bathroom cabinet included everything from rubbing alcohol to condoms. There's no TV (which some will view as a plus), but there are dozens of fascinating books and other reading materials to explore. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that Colin turned this little studio into a perfect home away from home for this 70-year-old codger from Chicago who grew up near Lake of the Isles and still knows the area well. Congratulations, Colin, and thanks for a great time!
