Staying at Kit's place was an amazing experience. Kit is one of the most interesting people I've met in my life, and once you start talking to her, you'll understand why. Her place, in the quiet and safe Longfellow neighborhood, is a charming 2 bedroom house filled with books, flowers, and a friendly cat named Gracie. This is a quiet residential area 10-15 minutes away from Downtown Minneapolis by car. The light rail station on 46th street is a quick 20 minute walk away, and bus 9A also stops a block away from her place. Both options will take you downtown.
What I loved about this neighborhood was how walkable it was. There's a series of cafes and small shops on Minnehaha Avenue that were delightful. Minnehaha Falls, a gorgeous park, was also a 4 minute drive (20 minute walk) away.
During my stay, Kit was very kind and thoughtful of my needs and comfort around the house. She likes hosting dinner parties, and will let you partake in as much or as little of her activities as you like. She's a "Barefoot Contessa" in the kitchen, so beware of her chocolate Guinness cake!!!
