If you are staying in Minneapolis, Mary's space IS THE PLACE you need. From the moment locate and grab your keys, you know just how warm the space will be.
Then you walk in, and it becomes real. The lighting is perfect, the color palate soft and warm, you feel you are home. Her decorations and items around the place further transfer feelings of safety and warmth, and you know you have the perfect space to relax and reside as you explore the city.
Mary's communication is spot on and perfect. What I appreciated is that she would touch base here and there to offer support and make sure you were doing well and allow you the freedom to be you and explore. She has a little desk with notes to let you know about all the amazing spots to hit in the area, as well as all the pertinent information about her space. Additionally, the bathroom had a plethora of soaps in case you forgot, and the kitchen had all the pots, pans, sauces, and dishes one could ever want.
Moreover, I cannot stress how ideally situated her place is. You are 30 seconds away from fantastic coffee and teas, a mere minutes from really wonderful restaurants, fitness facilities, and lakes! On the last night we were able to catch the sunset on Lake of the Isles, and it was beautiful.
If you are checking out the twin cities, do yourself a favor and lock in Mary's place before someone else does!
