I stayed at John's place for a week while visiting my daughter in Minneapolis. I loved the walkability of the area (so I didn't have to drive in the snow too often :). He was responsive to any questions that I had and the house was extremely clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and felt just like home! I only wish that he allowed dogs. My two Corgi's would have loved the backyard! That being said, I completely understand why John doesn't allow pets, because his house is pristine and has lovely wood floors! I would definitely stay at John's house again.
