It was great having an entire house to myself, with a backyard and easy street parking. The location is equidistant to the lakes in Linden Hills (Lake Harriet is about one mile west on 42nd Street) and the river, farther east, so access to walking and biking paths was straightforward. The house is smaller and older than it appears in the online photos but was plenty big for me and my dog for a two-night visit. I'd want a larger place for a longer stay.
