Patrick's place is one of those wonderful older "gracious homes" in a neighborhood filled with them. Near downtown, the sculpture park, modern art museum. We stayed on the second floor, and the stairs can be a bit tricky with luggage, but the apartment itself is huge, well furnished, stocked kitchen. The weekend we were there, the Twin Cities Marathon came right down our street, and neighbors were out in force cheering people on. We had a great time.
