You can't find a nicer neighborhood in Minneapolis, or any city, really, than Diamond Lake. It's close to plenty of shops & restaurants, funky and chain. And every Twin City attraction is an easy drive. The house was cozy, the beds were off-the-charts comfortable, and our five-year-old special needs daughter had plenty of room to stretch out and play. The kitchen is huge and well laid out. The gas stove was a huge plus. We came in the winter, but the back patio and yard would be a treat in the summer. Just can't say enough about what a lovely stay we had. Our host Normaliz communicated superbly with us. We'd love to be back!
