This was my first stay where I didn't have the entire place to myself, and Mariana has set the bar incredibly high for any other shared spaces I book in the future. I won't spoil the surprise of the details, but there are so many thoughtful little touches that made me feel comfortable and welcomed.
It was just under a 10 minute walk to US Bank Stadium, which is also the closest stop for the light rail Green Line. There are bus stops within a block, but I didn't use them. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Mariana provided everything that would be reasonably expected from a host and then some. Use the available bike if the weather is good, I got a great look at a lot of the downtown area this way.
I gave 4 stars for location because there are some areas not too far that are a bit unsavory. This isn't to say I ever felt in danger, I truly didn't. Perhaps just don't go wandering too far at night. Do you research about where you are, and you'll see which directions you might not want to walk. Again, I never felt unsafe, I spent time outside at night without issue.
Do yourself a favor and stay with Mariana, you won't regret your choice!
