Resort in Minneapolis, Shingle Creek
Hi! My home is a cozy rambler in Northwest Minneapolis. It is in the Shingle Creek Neighborhood which is the most NW neighborhood. Many people who visit are surprised because it feels like a gem of a neighborhood - quiet, lowkey, but still vibrant and not sterile like a suburban neighborhood.
I am renting my guest bedroom which has a pull out futon. This is not your college futon - it is really comfortable! I have slept on it before as it used to be in my parents' guest bedroom, so I can vouch! If you need more than one bedroom for a group, we can discuss more sleeping options.
I am going to mark "gym" as I do have a treadmil, excercise bike, and a sauna. The sauna is great for cold Minnesota winters!
I have one outdoor parking spot at the moment. I do have a garage; if you need indoor parking please let me know so I can get it ready. I am storing some things for my neighbor currently.
A few other notes... I have solar panels on my house and I compost so I request visitors really try to be eco friendly with me! My basic expectations are that you help with recycling, making a effort at composting, and helping me conserve energy by shutting off the lights and things like that.
I am actually recovering from surgery on my foot so I will probably be in the living room recliner or office most of the time. I am doing this listing not only for the income but to combat some of the chronic lonelines of recovering from surgery and not being at 100%. If you are COVID-cautious I am happy to mask. I am sober but if you want a beer with dinner or THC outside (since it is legal now) that is fine.
I do have a dog and she is excitable especially around women - she is a real girls' girl! But I have worked with her so much, especially as I have had so many visitors coming to my home to assist me with recovering from surgery. She does not go into the bedrooms and just hangs out in the living room area.
I have traveled a lot and couchsurfed in a lot of countries so I really understand what you need as a traveler! I am just a natural caretaker and I love to host people. I have lived in 5 countries (besides USA) and traveled to ~25. I have studied Mandarin Chinese and Spanish.
Please message me if you have any other questions! I look forward to hosting you!
