The warmest of welcomes on the COLDEST of nights! When I arrived in Minnesota it was negative 20 (that's not hyperbole but actually the temperature). Beth had set everything up for me - garage door open, walkway lit up, heaters running. I felt so taken care of after driving hundreds of mile in the hostile weather. I was EXTREMELY impressed with her heating system. It is not easy to keep a basement apartment comfortable in such extreme cold. She has an excellent setup. Overall I can't say enough good thigns about this place. Super cozy and plenty of space - would be a great for a couple wanting a cheap getaway or a writer/student wanting a writers/studying retreat. I love to cook and was extremely pleased with the kitchen accommodations. There's a nice biking/hiking trail just a block or two away. You can walk to multiple grocery stores and restaurants and shops. Beth replied very quickly to anything I asked her about. Hot water temp and pressure were fantastic (plus the bathroom has its own heater so you can preheat the bathroom to be extra warm before showering). I had a great experience and would absolutely stay here again. In fact I hated to leave and I hope I have an excuse to come back to Minnesota just to stay there another time. My only other thought - I'm very petite and a very tall person might check on the ceiling height.
