My book group of many years rented this elegant house as a base for city explorations after days on northern lakes. It was a lovely contrast to more rustic accommodations. The photos in the listing do a good job of portraying the property. There was enough room for us to each have our own bedroom and bath. We gathered in the wood paneled library/living room for wine at the end of each day and felt very elegant. We very much appreciated the laundry facilities and off-street parking. If you wish to cook, the large kitchen is well-supplied. There were a couple of very minor supply glitches (soap!), which were quickly remedied by the conscientious host. The mansion is located in a beautiful-but-changing old neighborhood just beyond Minneapolis' downtown. Several places we wanted to visit, such as Lake of the Isles, Walker Art Center, and the Minneapolis Institute of Art, were walking distance. Others were accessible with a short drive. If you are looking to house a group in Minneapolis, this is the place!
