This place is such an incredible value. The personal photography, the snacks, the friendly notes and instructions, reading about the host's story...it all made the experience feel very special. The Lyndale neighborhood is such a perfect location for exploring the best of Minneapolis. We went to the Ramen place Susan and Boris recommend--AMAZING, and we were so close to all the museums, other restaurants and cafes, etc. that we had on our list, but also felt like we were hanging out in a homey, well-loved spot. Everything was very clean, cared for, and well-designed. Highly highly recommended.
