Kimber's place is amazing.

It's like staying in a modern Dr. Suess novel with Dr. Suess working in the studio below, willing to show you how he does it. Full of interesting art, a VERY interesting bathroom (you'll have to see for yourself), three differently themed bedrooms, and an enormous and tasteful kitchen and living room, you're going to love everything. I had just moved to Minneapolis and needed a place to stay with my family while I searched for an apartment to live in for a couple days, and Kimber's place was the best alternative to a hotel. I biked to work downtown (15min ride) every morning and we had a lot of fun exploring the food and shops around her place (the Seward Co-op is a block away!). She has two very friendly cats that will make you feel at home, and she's more than willing to show you around her studio and give you an inside look at her process.

If you're sitting on the edge deciding between this and a hotel, take the "risk" and go with this place. It'll be one of the highlights of your trip.
