This is a great location. We enjoyed the walking distance to the river, grocery store and park. It was a bonus having the extra room with the foosball table.
Lena and Leo are excellent hosts! The place was well as described, extremely comfortable, eclectic, and fun! The location was unbeatable for us. Top notch all around!
Was a very convenient location for exploring the Minneapolis area plus our child’s competition in Champlin. Location had all the needed amenities for a weekend trip. Would definitely stay there again.
