Where do I even begin? I was blown away by the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area. Work brought me here because I never would have visited otherwise and that would have been my loss.
It's a beautiful city with well thought out walking trails throughout some of the neighborhoods. Amy's location has a wooded trail right behind it, that was clean, beautiful and felt safe for a female traveling alone. The trail is in between housing so it's not super wide creepy woods.
Amy's pics do not do the place justice. It's basically the entire 1st floor. A nice large area with 3 queen beds, kitchenette, living room space, bathroom, and separate laundry room. To top it off there's a nice patio area right off the living space with beautiful yard views that back up to the trails.
My host was very accommodating. She had coffee, tea, drinks and snacks available, a charging station, towels all the comforts of home. I'm a big bed and breakfast fan and this experience was better. It felt like I was staying at a friend's house.
The only thing some travelers may want to be aware of is there are some steep steps down to the area (it was lighted) which made it a little tricky with large luggage.
I visited in late September and the weather was mostly overcast in the mid-'50s.
The twin cities were far more interesting than I expected. Lots of history and art downtown and the Minnehaha falls was just gorgeous, a must-see.
Thank you Amy for providing fabulous accommodations for such a great stay.
