exactly what i was looking for, close to the city, close to the freeway (169), quiet!!, lake view, semi-private basement area (laundry room located downstairs), good value for the money, walking distance to a very pleasent park, shops nearby, not far from a shopping center. The basement was perfect for me, my teenager and my small baby. The basement was our little apartment. I was in the bedroom with the baby, my eldest was in the living room area with a futon bed and access to the lower deck with the lake view. TV in each room. I didn't feel like we bothered the guests upstairs nor did they bother us. Great place, highly recommend it for a little R&R after running your MN errands.
