I spent a week at Lara's for the Super Bowl. It was a fantastic stay. We checked in Monday afternoon & Lara's mother was very helpful in getting us situated and oriented. Every morning, Lara had coffee waiting for us, along with some breakfast. She & her mother were so helpful in helping us learn the area. The house was about six blocks from a light rail stop and two blocks from a bus stop, which provided great access to Minneapolis & St. Paul. It was about 20 mins to downtown St. Paul and a bit more than a half-hour to downtown Minneapolis. Mall of America and the airport were a bit more than an hour away. It was a good spot to have access to plenty of things to do. The house is also in a great spot with lots of different food in the area. Overall, I would recommend this Airbnb if you are looking to spend a couple days in the Twin Cities and do some exploring. It was great to have as a home base to come back to at the end of the day. And while the dogs might bark a bit when you arrive, they'll quiet down. It was a great stay.
