I booked Stephanie's AirBNB because she is located in close proximity to family who live near Lake Nokomis. I had no specific expectations about her home. The room is small, just fine for me, well appointed and very clean. Stephanie is a natural host, very friendly and an interesting person. She communicated well with me on the way in and the way out, so it was easy to coordinate my schedule in a way that worked for her as well. She made me feel right at home. I would go back again.
The other reason that I booked with Stephanie is that her location is great if you are runner or cyclist. The park across the street from her home has paved running and cycling paths around the lakes that connect to the paths that take you to the Mississippi River parks and the cycling paths around Minneapolis and St. Paul. Great for exercising or just getting around without a car.
