[ I rented Alison's place for my niece and her family over Thanksgiving, so she has written the review. I'll just say if you're local and need extra space for extended family, look no further! ]

This apartment was perfect for my husband, 4-month-old and me to stay in! We especially loved the gas fireplace in the front room which made the apartment nice and toasty. Everything we needed as far as dishes, towels, etc. was there - there were even some travel-sized toiletries for us to use. Alison, the owner, lives right next door and is so helpful! She did so much to make our stay enjoyable. She left us a little snack tray to welcome us and made it clear that she was available 24/7 if we needed anything at all. The apartment is a gunshot apartment (one room leads to the next which leads to the next straight back in a line), but we found it more than adequate for the needs of our little family. There are doors in between each room (except the sitting room and the kitchen, which is the final room in the apartment), which was nice for us so we could block off the little one's room when he was asleep. Alison does have a big dog that will bark when you come to the door, but it quiets down quickly and isn't really a problem. Overall, we loved this place and would definitely stay here again when we come back to Minnesota!
