First the positives: Josh’s place was impeccably clean and when we had a problem, he responded immediately. If you want access to the Blue Line Light Rail, or the beauty of Minnehaha Creek, this cozy house in a quiet area is perfectly situated. Comfy beds, plenty warm on cold nights, nice fenced back yard for our dog, good off-street parking. Now for the challenges: tiny bathroom, kitchen not well stocked, worn towels. Though the bathroom issue can’t be fixed, it should be easy to provide enough bowls, mugs, cutlery, and unbroken cooking equipment for the kitchen, which is open and light. Newer towels would go a long way to making guests feel valued. The fridge went on the fritz while we were there, and Josh responded right away. He brought coolers with ice to help preserve our groceries, and when it snowed, he came to shovel. We stay in lots of Airbnbs & VRBOs, because we like to cook and hang out at home. We don’t expect it to feel like OUR home, but we do hope it won’t be inconvenient. We had a great time because we were with family. That said, we likely won’t stay at Josh’s again, even for all its attributes.
