Ryan has a lovely big house on Lyndale street with an Aldi just in the corner were you can get the best food prices (i compared with Cub and Target that were near the house too). You need to get de bus to get the metro rail, I used a bike for a month and didn’t have any problem (greenway bike ride is just two blocks from Ryan’s house!). Ryan’s house gives you an individual room with big smart TV, nice speed WIFI and full kitchen. You share this floor with orher guest just in the other wing of the house, you can use washer and dryer machines. I think it is a very nice place to stay. I was in Minneapolis for a month in a medical intership in Fairview Hospital (UMN) and my bike trip was safe and fun every day. Just remember to do the dishes and not to leave food outside the fridge or in the stove, it may attract some pests.
