We were visiting the Twin Cities for a wedding and a birthday party, and after having lived in the area for over 15 years, we knew Aaron and Colleen's place is exactly the kind of place we were looking to land for a busy weekend. The garden level apartment in a beautiful older home is centrally located and convenient to downtown Minneapolis, and all major highways; it has two bedrooms, so it's perfect for families with older children; the extra touches (coffee, tea, drinks in the fridge, snacks, homemade soap) were unexpected and delightful and best of all, we had the attentiveness of hosts who live close, but the privacy of an apartment with its own entrance. We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful, clean and cute place to stay or more kind and generous hosts. We come back to the Cities often to visit "friend family" so we will definitely be back and look forward to our next adventure!
