The space is comfortable for two to three people. We found the beds to be comfortable. We didn't cook, but the kitchen appears to be adequately stocked for basic cooking needs. There is a Whole Foods about a 5 minute walk from the apartment. The stairs into the unit are very steep and there is not a stoop at the top of the stairs. We grew accustomed to the set-up, but it might not be a good fit for those that are older or have any kind of orthopedic or vestibular challenge. Otherwise, we found the unit to be a wonderful spot for visiting our Mac student and the location is a good central location for exploring the twin cities area. We will stay again!
