I actually live in the neighborhood. My parents were visiting from Massachusetts and for the last night we needed to put them up somewhere. Colin's place is gorgeous. My parents loved looking around at all of the art, books, cool and unique decor. It was nice and warm, impeccably clean, pretty lighting. They made themselves right at home. The neighborhood is amazing, great restaurants, cafe's, bars just one block away, Children's Theatre Company, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Vertical Endeavors climbing facility, live music, short bus ride to downtown--there's lots to do but this is a restful place to stay so you can also be homey and relax at Colin's.
