This was our second stay at "Mike's Place" which is the name we have given this beautiful property. It's very clear that Mike has poured his heart and soul into the home. Everything you could possibly need(want..)has been thought of. After our first stay, I mentioned to Mike that cotton balls and q-tips would be a nice touch. And, sure enough, they were there on our second visit! Yummy croissants, OJ, tea, coffee, are there waiting for us upon our arrival. You name it, Mike has thought of it. The beds are comfortable(this coming from someone with back issues)the linens are soft and fluffy..I could go on and on but, you probably get my drift on how first rate we think Mike's Place is. Now, about the location...Unbeatable. 2 block walk to "Eat Street" where one can find great restaurants(Ice House, Eat Street Social, Copper Hen, Black Sheep Pizza, yes we spend our time eating when we visit Minneapolis!!) bars, music, climbing gym, yoga studios. And DO NOT MISS splurging on Glam Doll Donuts while staying in Whittier. Worth every stinking calorie :-)
The Minneapolis Institute of Art is a 1/2 mile walk from the house. Beautiful parks, lakes-we take advantage of the top rate walking and bike paths that circle all the lakes around the Minneapolis area. Both times we stayed at this property, we decided not to even rent a car. If you do find you need a car, Minneapolis has this really cool set up called "Car 2 Go" where you rent a car-which are parked throughout the city-and use it for however long you need. There's an APP for that..LOL.
Next time you need to be in in Minneapolis for whatever your reasons, stay at "Mike's Place" and I assure you, you will be thrilled you did!!
Happy Trails to all of you!!
