Very clean Craftsman's style with all of the amenities of home! The fact that dogs are welcome was a huge factor in our decision of where to stay.

Great house and easy check in! There was lots of room to sit, chat, and have a nice girls weekend in the twin cities. Plenty of street parking. Only thing is that the faucets were difficult to turn off completely, both the kitchen and bathroom sink faucets leaked slightly.
