Jean (and Craig) were wonderful hosts. I could immediately tell how much love, care, and time has been put into making their house a home, and my room and bathroom were like a sanctuary. This was my first visit to the twin cities and the location was perfect. Access to Lake Harriet and the Chain of Lakes, Minnehaha Park and falls, the downtown area, Midtown Greenway, and more was very easy. Thanks to Jean, who loaned me her bicycle, I saw it all without once getting in my rental car! On my first day Jean and Craig provided me a delicious french toast breakfast with fruit, then guided me on their tandem bicycle around the lakes, past the Walker Museum, to Loring Park and the Pride parade. They made a point of making sure I knew how to get to all the sites I had on my agenda and told me of additional places to experience, visit and dine. Communication with Jean was easy and clear throughout the process. I was grateful to get a quick response to my request, as I made my reservation only a day or two before I was to depart. I was also glad to get a "yes" response, as it was my first Airbnb experience. Jean's rate was super reasonable, especially compared to hotels in the area, and also compared to some of the other Airbnbs in Minneapolis. This was a lovely get away for me. I hope to return to the twin cities again, and I would definitely stay with Jean and Craig again!
