Colin made us feel welcome by being available to greet us minutes after arriving. That being said our host left us to ourselves throughout the trip. (But I did feel like I could reach Colin if necessary.) While we shared his home our stay felt quiet and comfortable. The studio is clean, cozy, with plenty of storage space and all the amenities. The art and layout of the space adds much charm. The location is central to much of the major attractions in Minneapolis and felt active and safe. We had a wonderful trip and thank Colin for the great place to stay.
