Mary was excellent during the planning stages of my trip. I was considering not renting a car and she gave detailed local knowledge to my questions about the feasibility of doing without one.
The neighborhood is indeed quiet and peaceful and Mary's garden is lovely in the summer time when I was there. The suite is also full of light and the bed very comfortable with much needed air-conditioning for the summer months. The neighborhood is quiet and walkable and its very convenient to Macalester College (where I had meetings). Also very convenient to downtown (18 mins), the Airport (20 mins) and Minehaha Falls Park(15 mins).
