I really liked it at her house and will stay again. Sandy is a good host; she is a great blend of attentive and personable, yet knows when to step back. If you need to stay near downtown Minneapolis (or even St. Paul) but are turned off by othe higher staying costs or a more challenging commute, this is a great location. It is indeed a 'Northeast charmer' at a good staying price and an warm, cozy vibe.
