I have very mixed emotions about this property. First the good.
I like the location. It's near the Central Av restaurants, Also near the Quarry shopping center, close to access the freeway system. The apartment is large. It is a 2 bedroom. The front sun-room has also being used as a bedroom. There is a fouton sofa in the living room as well as another large sofa. My guess is the beds are from IKEA by the looks. The memory foam mattresses on the queen size beds are very nice to sleep on. The kitchen has some of the original cabinetry as well as some new cabinetry with granite tops. Fridge has Ice and water in the door, stove and dishwasher. There is off street parking for one car in the driveway. The house is a duplex and apparently both units used for AIRBNB.
Now the things I don't like. It appears that the owner doesn't care much for aesthetics. The lawn (Weeds actually) is so tall that it is laying back over. The fences have volunteer trees growing up through them. There is absolutely no “Curb Appeal” to this property. Anyone that has any respect for the neighborhood would spend some time or money and clean it up. I half joked that if you were taking your kids Trick or Treating... you would bypass this house. It is by far the least attractive house on the block. Even the little things show the lack of interest. There are digital locks on all of the doors. (Nice). I saw 5. they are in 4 different random finishes. They work fine, but that just seems odd. They are all mostly crooked too. It is nothing to put them in straight and make them look better. Be careful when you pull out the bottom rack on the dishwasher. It will tip over on you, as it is not fastened into the cabinetry. The faucet is also loose in the kitchen. You can't turn the spout. You turn the entire faucet. There is a hall light that is a pull chain light, with no pull chain. The middle bedroom has no class shade. Nor does the ceiling fan in the living room have a glass shade. There is a non GFCI outlet literally inches from the tub, with only a shower curtain between you and the outlet. All of these are violations of Minneapolis rental code, and likely AirBNB rules.
The house was very clean. The host communicated well as needed. The pantry had some basics and some treats as well as a Kurig coffee machine. I would not stay here again for a similar price, but if you have 6 or 8 people, perhaps that changes the equation.
