Other Airbnb landlords could learn from this place! It’s got many thoughtful touches, like bedside tables with lamps and outlets, adequate towels for the number of guests and the length of the stay, and easy-to-manage procedures. The decor is lovely, bed and furniture comfortable, and kitchen adequately stocked. Everything functions very well.
There are safety challenges here for people with disabilities, such as thresholds that change floor level. Those are clearly visible, though, and there’s excellent lighting throughout. The main safety issue, which I hope the owners will promptly correct, is the lack of a grab bar in the shower. It’s a narrow, sloping tub, several inches above the floor, with a loose curtain on both sides, and we found it difficult to shower safely.
We enjoyed strolling around the neighborhood. There’s a food coop nearby (I won’t buy from the hot food bar in the evening again, though) and several recommended restaurants just across the freeway at 38th and Nicolette. The apartment doesn’t have any local information books or magazines, which would be helpful. Some tourist highlights of our visit were the Swedish Institute and the UM Arboretum at Chaska.
