Dimitri and his wife were welcoming hosts. Dimitri gave me good suggestions about things to do. The house was clean and conveniently located -- only about 1 1/2 blocks from the bus stop. From there a 15 minute bus ride got me to downtown Minneapolis. The location is also convenient for getting to other parts of the city and its suburbs -- the lakes to the west, and the light rail blue line to the east which can be taken to the Mall of America, Minnehaha Falls and Fort Snelling after a fairly short ride. My room had a ceiling fan that kept the room cool at night.
