Laurie was there to greet us and was friendly, available, and extremely helpful throughout our stay. She suggested restaurants, coffee shops, and best routes around town, and all her suggestions were perfect. We were there to visit colleges and see a bit of the Cities. The location was great. It's right across the street from St. Thomas, a 30 minute walk or 5 minute drive from Macalaster, an hour drive from Carleton and St. Olaf. It's about a 10 minute walk to the Mississippi river trail system where we found a bike rack with public use city bikes which we rented and rode, along the trail system, to the U of M. St. Thomas wasn't in session, the neighborhood was quiet and there was ample parking. Walking around felt completely safe to us. For our three nights, the accommodations were fine for 2 adults and 2 teens. It was a clean and charming space with lots and lots of light, tastefully decorated.
