Elise is a phenomenal and accessible host who had awesome accommodations for my four-night stay. I had some of the best sleep of my life in that giant, comfortable bed! The room itself is quite private, and there is plentiful public space in her house to lounge and make food. Her living area (minus the kitchen and laundry) is on the second floor, so the main floor is mostly used only by the guests. There is ample parking on the street right in front of her house, and cooking in the kitchen was pleasant. If I vacation in the Twin Cities again, this will definitely be my first choice in lodging.
