This AirBNB is a nice economical place for a traveler or student who needs to be in Minneapolis for work or a class for a couple weeks. The building is less than a block from the No. 5 bus, a major north/south line and the No. 2, a major crosstown. The light rail is a 5 minute bus ride east, making it feasible to get to the airport in under 40 minutes for only $2.00 per person.
Bedding is clean and comfortable, heat is adjustable- a nice perk for such a historic building - and furnishings are perfect for a single traveler.
Not a good choice for those with difficulty ascending stairs, but I found the spiral wooden stairs a charming quirk. The neighborhood has nearby shelters, so expect panhandling. I walk with a flashlight and keep my head up and never had a problem. 1.5 blocks away there are cheap takeout places, and I didn’t feel the need to buy groceries and cook. Bottom line- very basic, but best value near downtown Minneapolis I’ve ever found!
