My girlfriend and I had a great time in Minneapolis! Shawnee's home was in the perfect location for access to tons of local restaurants, bars and only a 10 minute drive to the Mall of America. It was honestly so nice to have a place to stay in a suburban area and yet have almost immediate access to the city and St. Paul is close by as well. As other people mentioned, the basement apartment is a bit smaller than it appears in the photos, but for just us two short people (under 5 feet tall) it was perfect. Any taller than 5'8" will have to duck in a few areas of the apartment, as Shawnee mentioned. Keyless access was so perfect for arriving very early in the morning and not having to worry about losing a key. We really appreciated having free coffee in the morning. The kitchen floor gets very cold very quickly (it is a basement apartment after all), but the space heater provided works wonders if you face it towards the kitchen for 10-15 mins. We never met Shawnee, but she was extremely polite through messages, accommodated our need to arrive early and depart way later than check out. She was completely understanding when we had an emergency come up at home and had to leave several hours earlier. Staying at the apartment only one day, she understood and offered us a refund. Thank you Shawnee!
