Nick and Gerta's house was amazing! The bottom floor was spacious, clean, and had all the touches of home. We had a 5 and 8 year old with us; the space was certainly kid friendly. Gerta is a very sociable host. We had a couple chats with her even though we were not around her house very often. She expressed interest in the children and made the feel included in the conversation. If we come back to the Twin Cities area, we will definitely look to Nick and Gerta's house for a place to stay!
