This was the perfect place for me to stay and have my two adult daughters living in St. Paul come over to visit (one on vacation spent the nights), sit and talk on the great deck outside in the treetops, and serve as our base for exploration of all of the chain of lakes. The quiet neighborhood was a real plus in a metropolitan area. The keyless lock system worked just as the hosts had described and directed -- slick! Cleanliness was the first thing I noticed -- immaculate! By directing air from the hall air conditioner into the second bedroom with careful placement of one of the fans you provided, not only were both bedrooms comfortable and cool throughout the day and night, but the kitchen and living room remained perfectly comfortable despite the unusually hot weather during the week -- accommodating and well planned! Everything I could have wanted (including the washer and dryer) was there and ready for use. I always travel light, so being able to wash the clothes I had brought halfway through my stay was a pleasant amenity.
It was an interesting challenge to determine which light switches turned on lights, something that elicited a lot of laughs. The little architectural details and roof lines of this rooftop apartment made the place homey and interesting.
My daughters and I are all pretty tech savvy -- one is social media director at a university, the other owns an online business and I taught application of technology to teachers and student teachers at a university, but we were baffled by the diffculty we had with the televisions. Nothing we tried -- the handy instructions on the table, those in the booklet prepared by the hosts, and our own backgrounds with these things -- solved the problems we had tuning in to the programs we hoped to view.. We finally temporarily switched out the Fire stick with my daughter's and were able to view some Olympics coverage we wanted to see. Clarifying further would be helpful in the future.
All in all, it was a great experience, augmented by outstanding communication whenever I had a question as we were making arrangements, while I stayed in the home, and when I was leaving. I hope to have the opportunity to stay again when visiting my daughters. Working the visit this way ensured that I was not infringing on their private and work lives.
