Greta’s apartment is fantastic! It is exactly as pictured - beautifully done, with designer touches throughout! The kitchen and bath are fully stocked - you won’t need a thing. The bed is very comfortable and the bedroom is very quiet, given there’s a family overhead. I heard footsteps now and then, but rarely heard a peep out of the folks upstairs. The shower in the bath is big and just great!
The neighborhood is wonderful! It gives you the impression you’re visiting a small town in Minnesota up north ... there were times I forgot entirely that I was actually in Minneapolis, a big city! Lake Nokomis is just a few blocks away and it is a lovely spot! Beaches for the kids, bike paths and walking paths wrap around the entire lake. Don’t miss the gelato from Fat Lorenzo’s, at the far end of the lake. It’s delicious!
For those who like to spend time in a coffee shop, try the Nokomis Beach Coffee shop. Also very close to Greta’s house. Great staff, wonderful baked goods, and just a groovy little place overall. Frequented by the “locals” throughout the day. Very easy, and relaxed.
But BEST OF ALL is Greta herself! It is worth staying here just to meet Greta. She is delightful, fun company (although she will respect your privacy and leave you alone entirely, if that’s your preference.) Her life story is fantastic. She is all heart and her “joie de vivre” is contagious! You will leave at the end of your stay both refreshed, and a happier, richer person for having met Greta.
I have stayed in many Airbnb’s through the past several years, and Greta’s is, hands down, my favorite stay - by far! Don’t think twice about staying here. You won’t regret it!
