Patrick's attic apartment is one of the most charming properties I have ever rented, an absolutely delightful place to stay, beautifully decorated, excellently equipped, and located in one of the most attractive districts of Minneapolis. We received the warmest welcome from his property manager, Jonathan, and found a full fridge and store cupboard which we were urged to raid. I had the handsome bedroom and very comfortable bed, and my 20 year old son was just as happy with the sofa bed in the living room. We had one or two tiny queries about keys and equipment, which Jonathan responded to instantly. It felt liking coming home every evening. and just walking around the surrounding tree lined streets and admiring the glorious Victorian properties is an excellent entertainment The house is a walk from the nearest lake, and an easy walk in the opposite direction to the nearest restaurant, bar, and the wonderful Sebastian Joe's icecream parlour which people travel to from all over the city. We travelled all over Minneapolis and St Paul by public transport, starting from the bus stop nearest the house. Our stay coincided with a spell of very hot and humid weather, and though the air conditioning was noisy, it coped well. Minneapolis has lost a shocking number of historic buildings to well meaning but unfortunate redevelopment: the care and pride Patrick has put into restoring the house, and Jonathan's maintenance, are evident throughout the property. Samuel - whose transition to a year at the university was made so much happier by our stay - and I would both love to stay there again
