Kim’s place truly is a rare gem and most definitely my favorite Airbnb space ever. I moved away from Minneapolis 10 years ago but return frequently to stay with friends and family. For safety reasons, I didn’t want to fly and put my loved ones at risk in any way, so decided to stay elsewhere this time around. Kim’s place was the perfect solution. Located in one of my favorite Minneapolis neighborhoods and a stone’s throw from Lake of the Isles, I felt completely at home. Kenwood is a beautiful old neighborhood with a gorgeous park, a great bookstore & one (very good) restaurant, but it is a quick drive or bike ride to everything else you might need...groceries, coffee shops and Sebastian Joe’s ice cream, of course. Tucked into this idyllic neighborhood, Kim and Alfie have created a perfect oasis, with the funky, stylish unit having its own beautiful patio and outdoor table and sitting area in a gorgeously landscaped backyard. With the perfect weather, it was the ideal place for friends and family to visit safely and I so enjoyed being able to share a meal or a glass of wine in this lovely outdoor setting. Kim and Alfie are perfect hosts—warm, friendly and welcoming—while also giving you a sense of privacy that is sometimes hard to find in an Airbnb property that is also occupied by the host. The guest house itself is such a treat: beautifully designed and decorated, with many thoughtful touches. My sister and brother joined me for an al fresco dinner on the patio on my last night in Minneapolis and by the end of the evening my sister said, “Now I want to rent this place for a little getaway...and I live 3 miles from here!” And during this weird time when safety and cleanliness are such an important issue, I so appreciated Kim’s attention to detail. The place was spotless, and there were lots of nice quality hand sanitizers, wipes, etc. left out for guests as well. Truly, this one is pretty darn perfect; I’m already looking forward to my next stay there. 😊
