The Longfellow neighborhood has everything you need for a great stay in Minneapolis. Local Irish Pub, Merlin's Rest, has amazing food - -and it's right around the corner from the house. Walkable to the river, grocery story, Target, and many other amenities. I didn't have a car while I was there and had no issues getting everything I needed. Craig is a great host and offered to share his almost ripe tomatoes. It's not fancy but rather has a cozy and familiar feel.
