Dong- Ying has a small cozy house with 2 medium large friendly cats. It's near Deming Park. This park is up on a hill with a panoramic view of NE, Minneapolis. It's quiet, small, comfortable and has a nice vibe to it. The vibe is relaxing with cats & candles. The home is a little creaky but not in a bad way. I picked Dong-Yings place to situate between 2 volleyball venues and It was 'a perfect location that was close to Columbia heights, and Andover, MN. My room was comfy with a bookcase full of math and history books in Mandarin. Dong - Ying is also a master at the sport of 'fencing and has 2 display cases of medals and trophy's regarding this sport. I was impressed by the automatic front door lighting and easy to operate electronic lock. Dong-Ying is a cordial host with great communication if you need anything . I would recommend this to any weary travelers or working people like myself. The cost was modest for the comfort that is provided. R. Larsen
