Karen's place has great location in uptown. Lakes can be reached by walking in my opinion. House is cozy and decorated vintage style. We were six persons and managed to live there two weeks. Considering that parents in law were with us it is a miracle... We did cook quite often so I guess the kitchen is big enough. There was few parking lots available all the time on backyard. Beds were at least as good and big as we have at home which was very nice for the old back. We enjoyed our time in Minneapolis !
