My family and I just live across the river in Minneapolis -- but my husband and I, who used to live in the Cathedral Hill neighborhood, wanted a quick getaway that was close to home (yet that would feel far away). This chic little apartment was perfect for our needs, and bigger -- yet less expensive -- than hotel room of comparable quality. We got to do some cooking and enjoyed long, meandering walks in one of our favorite pockets of the Twin Cities. And given that it's January, the gas fireplace was a big bonus! Would definitely stay here again.
