Pat is a wonderful and caring host, she made me feel right at home! I stayed for a few days while attending a conference downtown, and she kindly helped me navigate the Metro light rail and bus system. She even checked in with me on my first conference day to make sure I would get on the right bus home! She is easy to get in touch with if you have any questions. Pat's place is cozy and peaceful, nestled in a quiet neighborhood, and you can feel from her home what a warm and creative person she is. The bus stop is just around the corner, a short walk away so I felt safe even when needing to get home at night. There's a shopping area a few blocks away (~10min walk) with a grocery store, restaurants, Starbucks, ice cream, etc. The room was warm and quiet, the bed was very comfy, the internet was fast, and her cats were so adorable and sweet! :) I had a restful stay here and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful place to come home to in Minneapolis. If you're able to, I also recommend checking out the beautiful lakes and trails nearby. I only had time to visit them on my last day, but it was such a relaxing way to end my trip. Thank you so much Pat for a memorable first Airbnb experience, it truly was a home away from home!
