This was a great space in an up-and-coming neighborhood in Minneapolis. I had the top-half of the house, and while you can barely hear the downstairs neighbors at times it is hardly noticeable. This place is SUPER convenient to walk to just about anything in downtown Minneapolis. I used the train only once to get there from the airport. Everything else is within 1-2 miles on foot. Try to rent a bike while there and go along the river if the weather is nice...absolutely gorgeous! I did not mess with a car, but there is only street parking (not a dedicated space) and so those can fill up at times...beware.
