I can't think of enough good things to say about Linda, the room, or the location. The room was large, clean, and comfortable with an en suite bathroom that was large was great water flow. There was plenty of closet space and a small ktichen area with a microwave and a fridge and a coffee machine (plus a french press coffee maker) and comfortable chairs and a work table and I could go on an on. Oh yeah, a fireplace as well. It was all just amazing.
Linda, the hostess, was gracious and friendly and welcoming. She was eager to help, happy to hear how things were going, but at the same time completely unobtrusive. She stocked the place with coffee and cereal and candies and nuts. Seriously. It was really heartwarming.
The location is also idea. A great coffee shop around the corner. A pastry place. A world famous children's book store. A lake nearby to go running next to. Easy access to public transport. It's not downtown, obviously, but if that's ok, you can't do better than Linden Hills.
That's it. This place is just great.
