I was visiting for work at the university and I really wanted someplace calm and quiet near campus where I could focus: Heidi's place was the perfect spot! It's a quick walk from campus and the atmosphere is everything I hoped for. Quiet and relaxed, with fascinating art and books around and a nice assortment of teas and bagels. It's not too quiet though: the kitchen and dining area is lovely and affords the opportunity to have pleasant, stimulating conversation with other guests if you're interested in coming out for a meal, but it's easy to have your space if you need/prefer that for your trip's purposes. I'm from the Southwest so I was a little cold even on the warm (for Minnesota!) nights, but Heidi was great and let me use her space heater when I mentioned it. She was great company and I'm so happy she has chosen to share her home with guests like me!
