If you are visiting Minneapolis, this is the place to stay. If you are looking for fancy and spacious then this is not for you, but if you want efficient, location, private and the absolute best hosts, this is definitely where you want to stay. We loved having a parking spot, private entrance, our own kitchen and one of the most comfortable beds we've slept in.
The location could not have been better. Two blocks from the bike greenway that can get you to any part of Minneapolis. On the corner of the block is Modern Times coffee house that serves excellent coffee and food (Southwest Hashbrown plate is awesome). Two blocks up is Global Market with about 10 different eateries (can even get a camel burger) and there are numerous shops, bakeries and restaurants to delight even the most demanding palette. Want all you can eat of excellent spaghetti then visit Jakeenos three blocks south on Chicago Ave on Mondays. On tap 1919 rootbeer with free refills also.
Just about anything you want to do can be driven to in about 10 to 15 mins.
We biked to down town (next to the stadium) for fireworks in about 15 mins (depends on your biking capabilities) biking almost exclusively on bike paths.
Access to the apartment is up a good flight of stairs and then another flight of stairs to the bedroom, bathroom and sitting room. The décor and atmosphere of the home is exactly what you would expect from a 100+ year old home and it is a delightful experience.
Chris and Sarah are delightful hosts and respond quickly to any needs or questions and once you meet Meatloaf (their dog) you will fall in love with him. We could not have had a more downhome, comfortable and enjoyable experience.
