Pat's place is a great spot for a small family. We were looking for a place not too far from downtown MPLS and not too far from family in Edina...this was just right! A five minute Lyft to the 38th St light rail station allowed me to commute to downtown easily. There is a great park just a 5-10 min walk away. Easy access to the I-35W means you can get where you want quickly (rush hour and construction are different animals).
If you are a taller guy (like me - I'm 6-2), you'll need to watch your head as enter/exit via the stairwell. This was not a problem for the wife and kids. The outside path from the car to the unit was well lit and we felt very safe during our stay.
All-in-all, a very good stay and we would have no problem recommending the unit to others!
