Big House, Big Trees, Big Fun.
What you get:
Your own entry.
The entire 3rd floor of a big ol' comfy MN house.
Dormer ceiling with skylights & a 3 pane wide front window, hardwood floors - feels light and airy.
Outside?
Benches.
You're going to want a bench to really take in the host's green thumb. Walking downstairs past flowers to drink coffee & look at different flowers was a delight.
Great big shower, the first 4k TV I've watched.
Worked for me.
What you do not get:
A stove.
I was there a week and with a trip to the grocery + GrubHub I didn't miss it.
My meals were all with people trying not to cook that night-
worked well for me even for a long trip.
5 star neighborhood
Cider brewery tasting room out back, walk to the river using shady residential bike laned streets, come back on Hennapin if you need anything from the market or tacos or 1000 other things you'll find near a Big 10 uni.
Wind down, sit outside & listen to the trains you can't hear from your bedroom.
Home.
