Stayed here with my boyfriend and his dad while we house hunted for our upcoming move to Minneapolis! As people who had never been to the twin cities before, and weren't even sure if we wanted to move to the suburbs or downtown - this was the perfect home base for being close to downtown and to the suburbs so we could check out both! Also - the neighborhood that this home is situated in is so cute in itself! There were some apartments for rent nearby that we looked into just based on how much we loved the neighborhood and where Melissa's home was situated. The space itself was sparkling clean, well kept, and we had three beers waiting for us in the fridge when we arrived. (she offered nonalcoholic options as well!) Her binder of restaurants was very helpful! She was very quick at responding and communicating - and kept us in the loop on events in the twin cities and curfew changes without us having to ask! To address other reviews - yes, there are some noises of footsteps upstairs - but they are not intrusive! If you are looking for pure silence, probably not the perfect fit, but it really wasn't bad. Overall, great host, great location, and great space.
