Virginia is a great and pleasant host, has a very clean, comfortable, quiet and warm space. Check-in and prior communications about ETA, our concern about scented fabrics/her response, all good. She left us to ourselves if we wanted, but was also there immediately for any question and we had the opportunity to briefly get to know each other as needed.
We were however, quite surprised to find that the kitchen portion of the space has an unfinished basement ceiling, with all floor joists, water/wastewater pipes, air ducts, wiring and loose insulation exposed to areas over the table and food prep areas.
I have no idea what the City of Hopkins standards are, if any, for this kind of habitation. We have stayed in several other basement-level airbnb's throughout our travels. We have never had this experience before. Maybe its not a big deal to other travelers, but we did not like that aspect of the space.
