Using Maria's lovely place for our stay on Lake Harriet was really ideal. We had 7 adults and two small children and felt comfortable and at home for our 4 day weekend. The apartment is lovely with plenty of hangout space and an easy walk to the lake and nearby park. We spent time in uptown, downtown and in the suburbs - all accessible - and had parking for our two rental cars. The shared space (outside patio and yard shared with two adjoining units) was lovely and having neighbor guests turned out fine.
Maria was responsive to any little issues or questions that we had. We'd recommend for a lovely stay in Minneapolis!
