Parking: be aware that you will have a permit to use the shared lot for the apartment building — which rarely has any spaces available. Paid street parking is difficult downtown so budget at least a half hour to find a spot.
Unfortunately, for all the charm and great location of the unit, you should be aware that FrontDesk is a big operation managing multiple airbnbs in downtown Minneapolis and does not act on reported issues. On arrival and several times throughout our week stay we reminded them of a bathroom maintenance issue. We got text replies of “Oh no!” and promises of maintenance, but never follow up. Finally, they “resolved” the issue by refunding $4 per night.
