We felt like we were staying with friends. While the location worked well for us, I would recommend staying here just because of Ruth and Frank.
Ruth and Frank opened up their home to us several hours ahead of scheduled check-in, welcomed us to stay on (at no cost to us) beyond our check out date so we could ride out a winter storm and were regularly in touch with us checking on our well being.
We stayed a week, but did not need to rent a car while we stayed here. Local restaurants and groceries are a short walk away. Public transport is accessible, as are Lyft and Uber. Downtown Minneapolis, the airport and Mall of America are all short rides away from the Urban Cabin.
