My wife and I traveled to the twin cities for a couple family events. We stayed at Melissa's place for 9 nights. It was the perfect spot for us. It was clean, modern, and very comfortable. We cooked most of our meals, and The kitchen had everything you need to cook whatever you desire. There was also a nice BBQ grill that we used several times. The outdoor space was great, and included a fire pit, a table and chairs, and two great hanging chairs. The bed was very comfortable, and it was very quiet in the evenings. The location is ideal for accessing either Minneapolis or St. Paul within 15-20 minutes, and since it is on the North side, it also allows you to head North to the St. Croix River, or other outdoor destinations. There is a Super Target, gas stations, restaurants, etc., within a few minutes. An added bonus is ability to walk right out your door, and walk to the reservoir woods park. There is a great walking trail there that is several miles long, and wanders through a nice forested area. Saw whitetail deer in the park, and on the road in front of the house. Melissa and John were great hosts. Very responsive and helpful. This is a great place to stay!
