We've stayed at Laura's place several times and will keep returning when we stay in Minneapolis. Her place is very much like a home away from home for us. We are within a 15 minute drive of most of our shopping/eating destinations but still feel like we are in a quiet, residential area. The space accommodates our dogs well - we walk them in the neighborhood. The carriage house interior has an artistic flare furnished with comfy chairs. Her kitchen is well equipped and the bathroom spacious.
