We had never rented a room before - we've used Airbnb for houses, cabins, or apartments - so we were just a little apprehensive going into this rental. But Melody did a great job of making us feel super welcome in their home. We had access to their kitchen, dining room, and living room (in addition to the bedroom/bath area that they are renting out). They spent most of their time downstairs working, so it was pretty private. I tried to think of a way to explain the atmosphere there .... It's kind of like you are staying with a friend of a friend. They are friendly and welcoming, and chat if you want to, but kind of leave you to your own too. We did not feel like we were imposing (we were worried about that) and felt very comfortable.

The whole place was impeccably clean. We loved the attention to detail. The bathroom was beautifully done in high quality finishes and felt luxurious. I appreciated the *real* soap! The bed was comfortable although smaller than we had hoped (it was a full bed I think?). But it was firm and very comfortable - both my husband and I slept well.

The backyard and the views were wonderful. It is private and feels like you are in the woods - not just minutes from Eden prairie center (very convenient location). Since the house is below street level, it is very quiet - no road noise.

I would definitely stay here again! Thanks Melody and John!
