This was our first time using Airbnb. I booked this Linden Hills basement apartment in advance.
During the 8 weeks in Minneapolis (June-August), we rented the apartment three times for a total of 33 days so we could have our own space. We stayed for a minimum of 5 nights upwards to 15 days. We chose the property for its central location for where we needed to be and for its value/cost.
This is a basement apartment of an older property. You will hear people living upstairs. There's only one window a/c in the larger bedroom, so you'll have to leave the bedroom door open when in use. Brenda provided an additional fan to circulate to air, so we had two fans. The above is to be expected, and for us, we were alright with this.
Positive highlights about this basement apartment:
--Communication: 5 stars! Brenda's quick response to all my various emails made our stay more relaxing.
--Check-in: 5 stars! It was quick and easy. A welcome letter about the apartment was provided.
--Location: 5 stars! Linden Hills is a wonderful family area. You are in walking distance to Lake Calhoun, Lake Harriett, Linden Hills' retail area which includes some popular restaurants, ice cream, children's bookstore, toy store, and other retail stores.
--Kitchen: It had the usual pots/pans and cooking utensils, plus a spice rack, condiments (ketchup, mustard, and relish), and there was aluminum foil and large ziplock bags too. It was very helpful.
