This is a home in the center of a very authentic American city. I am a little provincial and have never stayed in such a big city. Mariana has a naturalness and charm that I found very refreshing. She encouraged me to explore the city and her suggestion of a wonderful cafe downtown led me to a place I would not have known - excellent dinner jazz by the tree lined Mississippi River. Mariana also turned me onto the Minneapolis Institute of Art, a huge free museum with an excellent collection. Very rich. - Maitland
