I stayed at Vicki’s place for one month and a week. Although I was almost totally new to the city starting a new job at the University of Minnesota, the time literally ran out as I truly had the feeling of being home. Vicki is a wonderful host: very helpful, truly generous and genuinely friendly. She’s also a very bright and interesting person and I loved the many conversations we had. Overall, I really had a wonderful stay.
The house and accommodations are very nice. The apartment has very good furniture and is very clean. It also has an open-air porch and a back yard: very enjoyable spaces as well! The overall environment is very warm and homey.
The room is cozy and fully and equipped. The bed is very comfy.
The neighborhood is just lovely: green, safe, quiet but at the same time really close to everything, either by bus or just walking.
Less than a block away, there’s the Birchwood cafe, a very nice spot to have brunch or even just coffee and a brownie. Plus, on Franklin Ave, just few blocks away, you will find restaurants, a Co op grocery store and also a barbershop. I have been very fortunate to know Vicki and her daughter and stay at their place. Thus, I do highly recommend this accommodation: 5 stars!
