When we arrived at Alison's home, we were greeted with a clean, lovely, warm home perfect for our family of five. Alison had Lego duplos for my boys to play with and buckets of toys for our older boys, as well as our 10 month old. Some of our favorite children's books were on her bookshelves and she even had a tray with wine, sparkling juice and cheese and crackers for my husband and I. We both enjoyed that bottle of wine on her lovely front porch swing after a long day of travel. Uptown Minneapolis is fabulous! Her location on Emerson is just a short walk to beautiful Lake Calhoun as well as restaurants, coffee shops, movie theaters, etc. It was such a quaint, warm and wonderful place for us to call home for a few days in Minneapolis. Lovely first AirB&B experience.
