Jessica was a clear, concise and responsive host. The property was as detailed correctly as it was provided on the Airbnb website. Check in/check out procedures were very accommodating, and the other Airbnb guests were informative and helpful. The craftsman room was extremely spacious, lots of storage space, making it an excellent choice for other long-term Airbnb guests. Spending three weeks in the location, I was able to safely and securely access both the St. Paul and Minneapolis Covid testing sites through public transportation, the light rail, as well as Uber/lift rideshare programs. Average cost of an Uber ride share was between $20 and $30, to go between cities. Public transportation was $2.50. The kitchen and public room areas were kept clean and organized.
During my visit, the temperatures for a week regularly hit negatives temperatures; Jessica‘s attentive and responsible maintenance man was able to provide space heaters as well as replacement appliances that stopped working during the visit. Refrigerator and cabinet space was ample and clearly marked for each of the separate rooms.
More than anything, the fellow Airbnb guests at this location were all long-term; as a short term guest traveling for a family emergency, handsdown they were the best most unexpected surprise. Shoveling, cooking, and sharing stories together helped fight the intense loneliness. If you’re not a friendly AIRBNBer, the rooms have refrigerators as well so minimal social contact is easily possible. Experiencing community in the middle of a two-year Covid pandemic, and Omicron surge, was delightful and I hope others are as lucky as me in their future stay here.
