Immediately, I felt comfortable and welcome when meeting Byron and Erin. My little apartment was separate and private with everything needed for simple food preparation. I was welcome to grab ice from the upstairs kitchen when needed. The bathroom and shower I would have liked to take home with me. There was a swinging bench on the front porch, a table with chairs on the back deck, and a lovely sitting area in the garden where the Monarchs and birds socialized. The exquisite 46 Patisserie was two blocks away as well as the restaurant Brasa. it's right on the bus line, near Kowalski's, and 50th Street/Minnehaha Boulevard. Minneapolis has astonishing nature within the city limits - actual trailheads with no civilization in sight. Lyndale is an efficient way downtown. I loved it there and plan to return next year for another month.
