Marie was such a great hostess! We'd come up to the kitchen and she would have breakfast there if we wanted. Her place was very clean and quiet. She was extremely kind and her home was a wonderful place to come back to after long days of training. The back screened in patio was a respite in the mornings and had a bit of magic in it in the evenings too. I had a private shower, a little fridge and microwave and even a little TV to keep me company when I wanted to veg out. Her place was walkable to a lot of different places- the library, walking trails, the grocery, etc.... I would definitely recommend this little gem of a place if you ever come up to the Minnetonka/Eden prairie area of Minnesota, or if you're in the Minneapolis area and don't really want to be in the middle of everything. Lovely time.
