I stayed at Kristi's apartment for almost two weeks, working from the apartment and exploring Minneapolis, and would recommend it to absolutely anyone visiting the city, especially a first-timer like me!

The location could not have been more ideal- as I was staying for an extended period, the grocery store, pharmacy, and workout options literally steps away from the building were incredibly convenient, and there were so many shops- from cafes and huge chain stores to local/vintage/funky options- in the immediate radius of the apartment. As promised in the listing's name, this is truly the absolute heart of Uptown- a very safe-feeling neighborhood, where I never had a single qualm even walking around at night alone.

The apartment is also near plenty of Nice Ride stations with quick access to the Grand Rounds and the Midtown Greenway for biking, which made it an especially terrific hub to explore the entire area.

The apartment itself is just as pictured, bright and comfortable; it really felt like a homier luxury hotel (but even better-located), and, thanks to Kristi, was so easy to access. Although we never met in person, Kristi made check-in and check-out both simple and flexible to my arrival/departure schedule and was always quick to respond.

If you are looking for the traveling experience of having your own apartment in a perfect Minneapolis location -- this is it!
