Extremely clean. Welcoming entrance: key entry worked efficiently, soothing music playing, soft lighting illuminating the entire space. Flat terrain for biking and hiking. Walkable to: grocery stores, post office, library, bakery, restaurants, Lake Nokomis and its hiking path around the lake and connection to many other parks, and a bus stop just two blocks away with its connection to other buses and to METRO Light Rail. Easy drive or bike to restaurants and small businesses/shops beyond a mile or two of walking. Airport “noise” was not an issue at all. The cottage was quiet and serene. We stayed in January two days after several days of significant snowfall followed by a coating of ice on sidewalks and streets. The driveway was plowed and ready for our arrival. Most helpful to us were the brochures and maps, instructions, and lists of restaurants and other nearby amenities valuable to daily life, a successful stay, and to a new adventure.
