We had a really lovely time at the mansion! The attic apartment is so spacious, comfortable, bright, and clean. It's attractive without being stuffy - it felt like we were staying with particularly gracious relatives. Evelyn and her husband have done amazing work renovating this treasure, and as we're old-house buffs they were so generous with their time and we really enjoyed hearing their stories about the house and getting a tour. They are excellent, gracious hosts, very accessible, with many years' familiarity with the neighborhood. The location is wonderful if you're visiting the cities as a tourist - close to the American Swedish Institute and Minneapolis Institute of Art (two of my favorite places in the winter!) but also to many of the off-beat attractions that make Minneapolis a treasure. There is an excellent bakery & restaurant just a couple blocks away and a park across the street. The neighborhood feels very safe and the street is remarkably quiet for the area. They even have truly comfortable beds. You can't go wrong here!
