My family and I (family of 4) had a fantastic stay at the apartment for our two week graduation vacation in May '12. Everything was easy from the moment we booked. Alison was always available and so gracious with her time and assistance. As soon as we arrived, she provided us with a welcome kit, crackers and beverages, and maps of the area. She even left us some bagels and cream cheese so we didn't have to run to the grocery store right away! The apartment is strategically located in the heart of Uptown Minneapolis, very close to restaurants and grocery stores, AND very accessible to the bus stops. Also, there was plenty of off street parking spaces, which my friends appreciated very much when stopping by to visit us. The apartment was very clean, cozy, and a lovely haven to come back to after a day of wandering around the Twin Cities. Despite of the fact that the apartment is sort of low on tech, Wi-Fi and internet access was available 24-7, and the books/movies collection plus basic cable old-school TV were quite entertaining. We had a good stack of fresh towels and linen, and Alison even lent us her vacum cleaner and iron when we needed them. The two AC units and fans made it nice and cool for when we got those few 90 degrees days. My mom especially loved the fully equipped kitchen and the abundant tea/coco/coffee options!! Thank you so much for the friendly and generous welcome, and definitely for the detailed tour of the apartment and its ins and outs. I will highly recommend it to any of my friends/family.
