Welcoming, cozy space was perfectly suitable for my short stay in Minneapolis. This is the lower level of the home, accessible through the back door (securely locked) and down a staircase, curtained from the rest of the home but not locked. Parking in the rear of the home was close and convenient. Most of my stay was rainy, but the gardens glistened nonetheless - the patio seating would be lovely in better weather!
This is a very safe, well-maintained neighborhood, with many families, bike riders and runners out and about. Plenty of shops and restaurants, as well as several beautiful parks, are within walking distance. Large stores are a short drive down the street, but this block is serene and residential. Getting around to Uptown, Powderhorn, and other neighborhoods was quick and easy.
Hosts are clearly environmentally conscious, providing cloth napkins, real dishes, and organic snacks and bathroom products. There's a recycle bin in the guest space and a compost receptacle out by the garage.
As other reviews note, some very tasty home-made granola and other snacks were provided. The mini refrigerator (no freezer space) held a Brita pitcher of water, small bottles of milk and orange juice, as well as yogurt, slices of bread and spreads for toast. Toaster, coffee maker and microwave round out the kitchenette area.
I mention this not because I missed it, but so others may plan accordingly: there's no television, alarm clock or radio. I don't watch TV, so that's fine with me - and the wifi was functional when I needed to get some work done.
A desk with chair, loveseat, two folding chairs, and two folding "TV tables" are in the same room as the bed. The ceiling is swagged with fabric, which hangs as low as about 6'4" in some places. Glass block windows are above the bed and in the bathroom - one was open when I arrived, and I had to stand balanced on the headboard to reach it. Radiator for heat, no A/C. Oscillating fan provided.
Hosts were kind and welcoming. They heard me arrive and made sure I had everything I needed. I'd be glad to stay with them again next time I come to town.
