My mom and I stayed here the weekend of the Twin Cities because I was racing the marathon. It was a great location, only five miles from the start and right off of Central Ave. Josh and his wife introduced themselves the first day we arrived which made us feel very welcomed. They were generous enough to let me do a load of laundry which was quite helpful before the race! Comfy bed, nice dining room and a good size kitchen, which we put to use! We couldn't figure out the basic TV channels to watch any news but it really wasn't a big deal. If you need an affordable, quaint, lovely place to stay in the Minneapolis area I certainly recommend the Artist Victorian!
