Brenda's place is great! The neighborhood is ideal for walks, bike rides, and access to the river and downtown, and it has two awesome cafes (Racer and Birchwood) + a co-op within walking distance. The space is large and as described. While it can be a tad noisy at times from neighbors (city life!) it's not enough of a nuisance given all the positives. I recommend staying here for your visit to the twin cities.
