Lori's place was exactly what we wanted. It was spotless when we arrived -- hardwood floors, natural hardwood trim in the simple midwestern style -- and had everything we needed. Comfy chairs in the living room and a well-equipped kitchen with modern appliances. It's in a nice residential area, within walking distance of Lake Hiawatha and Lake Nokomis, and from there it's a nice walk along one of the Twin Cities' linear parks all the way to Minnehaha Falls. It's also convenient to St. Paul -- our daughter's graduation was over there. We will definitely keep Lori's place in mind the next time we're back.
