This apartment is considerably more spacious than the photos suggest. The kitchen is very well equipped and we were able to host a dinner for 8, inviting other relatives who happened to be in town (the dining room table has extra leaves and there are plenty of chairs). There is lots of room and seating for lounging and visiting in the living room. The shops and restaurants of "downtown Linden Hills", as well as Lake Harriet, are only short walks away. The availability of 2 other apartments in the building are great if you are a large group. Brenda was always extremely prompt when I had a question.
