“Classic South Minneapolis Home close to restaurants, cafes, downtown and airport”
My wife and I were looking forward to staying several nights at this property while we closed on purchasing a house in the neighborhood. It is classic South Minneapolis architecture with finished wood floors, ornate woodwork and a lovely sun porch where one can sip coffee while watching the morning activity. There is nothing like that in our home city of San Diego from where we are relocating. Our visit gave us a chance to experience the neighborhood's unique restaurants and convenient cafes. The house is close to downtown, the urban lakes and parks and the extensive "Greenway:" trail system. The Greenway allows biking, skating, running or walking on a dedicated, paved path that runs along the old railway right-of-way that used to service the grain mills of early Minneapolis (Mill City). It runs uninterrupted and free of motor vehicles for many miles to the outer suburbs. Trendy Uptown, just a few blocks away, offers more bars, restaurants and Lunds, a specialty grocery store. The Walker Art Center is just down the street from Uptown and we walked its' outdoor sculpture garden that sprawls beneath the edge of downtown. The property is on the city bus line and freeway access and exits are just around the corner. However, no freeway sound was noticeable. Access to the airport is easy from this location. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of space for each resident to choose individual activities without disturbing co-lodgers. The gas stove was a treat and the full size fridge would serve the needs of a long stay. The host created an entertainment guide that was comprehensive, listing favored restaurants and lots of things to do. It was well presented to assure guests that they easily find the myriad of entertainment opportunities available in this community.

Amazing. I am at a loss for words. I'm not sure how anyone could top this. Very well written review (I mean seriously) You hit it on the head, from the house to the neighborhood and everything in between. I am so happy to hear that you found the guide inside so helpful and I love hearing how much everyone enjoys the gel-memory foam mattresses. I have recently added the MY-pillow to rooms to hopefully allow for even more restful nights. Thank you for talking about the greenway system. Such a great way to get around. Not to mention we rent bicycles during your stay. The neighborhood is fantastic with 8 restaurants and 2 coffee shops within 2 blocks walking distance. I am grateful for the time you took to write this amazing review TJ. Thank you for your support and patronage. I look forward to having you stay again or send your in-laws over when they come to town.
With gratitude,
Lance with Minnestay
