Joe and Matt did a great job with communicating with my wife and me. The Snelling Avenue METRO Transit trains and buses station is located 0.2 miles south of Joe's place. My wife and I used the METRO Green Line train to travel to downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul. Hamline Park is 0.2 miles north of Joe's place. We took our dog with us on the trip and this was a great park to run off some of her energy. For those of you that are light sleepers...Joe's place is set-up like an apartment building with people living in the lower level and two apartments upstairs. Joe and Matt respectfully ask you to follow a noise ordinance to keep the peace between everyone sharing the space. With the place being older and primarily hard wood floors you can expect to hear people walking around while you are in the place. I would suggest people that are light sleepers bring ear buds to use at night. We noticed a good amount of nightly street activity outside Joe's place, but none of that street noise bothered us inside of the place. All in all, Joe's place is affordable and has a great location with access to restaurants, a park, bars/clubs, and public transportation. We have already booked a repeat stay and look forward to sharing the space again.
