Alison's rental home provided a delightful base for our numerous excursions throughout the Twin Cities. Its location is within walking distance (through a beautiful, safe residential area) of a wide selection of eateries and grocery stores. We rented bikes and explored the Greenway near Lakes Calhoun and Harriet. The kitchen was equipped with every utensil and appliance that we needed to prepare full meals. Also, since Alison is an award-winning author, guests can choose from an assortment of novels and cookbooks. There are even toys and books for children! I would recommend this place to anyone!
