Clean and tidy. Comfortable. Easy to check in and out. The host is congenial and not intrusive. The location is incredibly convenient, close to Minneapolis, St. Paul, and nearby suburbs. We will definitely return when we come back to the twin cities. Bottled water, juice, coffee, and a range of snacks were provided. The kitchen is great. The dogs deserve a mention. They are confined to Mark's (separate) apartment so we never saw them. They bark a bit as we come and go but they settle down quickly and it doesn't interfere with our pleasure staying there.
