This was my first AirB&B. No more hotels.com. Even for business.
The accommodations at Sandie's place were incredible. The guest room had an incredible view of Cedar Lake, with a view of seeing the sunrise over the lake.
Sandie was very kind and welcoming as a host. If I am ever back in MPLS, this would be my first go-to place for a reservation. 5 stars. Unfortunately we did not have much time to talk due to our tight work schedules. When I walked in she was not there but I saw the New York Times waiting for me to read.
Looking forward to some more in-depth conversations with Sandie next time.
There is a pretty good public transport nearby (15min to down town) so no car needed. Leaving downtown after 5PM by bus is more of a challenge getting back home. There a taxi is recommended. (around $15) unless you don't mind switching busses and do a bit of sight seeing which is actually pretty entertaining if you are not in a rush and there is now snow storm :).
When you come by taxi you'll see how GPS systems fail and you have to give the driver some guidance for the last 1/3 mile to find the entrance. Once there paradise and peace awaits you plus the TLC cat and a whirlpool to relax from you travels plus all of the above.
