Colin's place is great. It had everything we needed, including convenient parking. The Minneapolis Institute of Art is an easy walk (and it's free). There's good coffee nearby (Spyhouse) if one wants company, or good coffee in the room with grinder and press. We found an excellent Sunday brunch within a block at The Copper Hen Cakery & Kitchen, with seating at the bar without a reservation. We highly recommend the stay here.
