Lisa is a generous and thoughtful host, from the little touches (personal design, post-it notes, and even a candy bowl) to the large (accommodating special needs and being extremely communicative without ever being invasive). The place itself is wonderfully furnished and you could while away your time without leaving, but it is also close to Minnehaha park and we found easy driving access to St. Paul or Minneapolis. My daughter goes to school in the Twin Cities, and for future trips to visit her and give her a break from campus, Lisa's place will be at the top of my list of places to stay.
