We'd never been to Minneapolis before, but Vicki made us feel at home immediately. Early on, she made excellent suggestions about what we should see in the few days we were there. It's clear she is very knowledgable about this city. She respected our privacy yet encouraged us to make ourselves comfy in her cozy home. Vicki's neighborhood is great for casual strolls; not far away is the innovative Birchwood Cafe as well as a NiceRide bicycle station, both of which we frequented often. Upon her recommendation, we rode the rented bikes along beautiful bike paths (the most efficient, best-designed trails we've ever ridden) around the lakes, the Mississippi River, and into town. Very scenic! Spend a little time with Vicki and you'll get a feel for her creative, trusting, inspirational outlook on life. We shared some wonderful conversations and look forward to more of them. We would certainly stay here again.
