Julia's place is in a quiet neighborhood a 10 minute drive from the University of Minnesota campus. We lucked out with 80 degree sunny spring weather so we took advantage by walking along the Mississippi River and enjoying the flower gardens and leafy trees along the way. We also walked 10 minutes to the local grocery store, which had everything we needed to cook a few meals. Julia's kitchen is well-equipped with pots, dishes, coffee maker, coffee grinder, teas & coffee.
The front bedroom is spacious and inviting with a comfy queen bed. We slept very well there. It is east-facing, so it gets bright in the mornings. We brought sleeping mask and had no problem.
There is a second (darker) bedroom with a convertible futon that we used for a couch to watch TV. There are two small dining tables for four, one in the kitchen and one in the lovely dining room/living room area.
Our teenage daughters slept well in the converted attic space, which has very steep stairs. Not recommended for elderly people, but perfect for our group.
Since there is only one small bathroom, I recommend this home for no more than 4 people, but it will depend on your own group dynamics how you want to share the facilities!
Julia communicated with us promptly and was very helpful.
We enjoyed our stay very much and would love to visit again.
Thanks, Julia!
