I read several reviews that warned that Kara's AirBnB was a recently renovated apartment in an old apartment building where we might have issues with street noise, cigarette smoke in the hallways, etc. That is the case. The apartment itself is nice, and my brother and I had a fine time there. I did wake up several times during the night to exterior doors slamming and people talking in the parking lot, but that was to be expected.
I was rubbed the wrong way with a direct message I received from Kara and an issue with our checkout. I messaged Kara asking for the wi-fi password and she responded with a pw that didn't work. When I said I had already tried that one, she replied, "Minneapolis is having trouble with Xfinity right now." Whether or not that was true, it would have nothing to do with the accuracy of the pw. I feel like I was lied to as an easy way to get me off her back. We never received the correct pw.
Even more bizarre - my bother and I left the apartment to get breakfast before checking out. When we got back (20 minutes before check-out time) my brother's backpack was propping the door open and the maid was already cleaning. She claimed that she had been told we already left. I don't know why she would think that when our stuff was still inside and we hadn't returned our key to the lockbox.
Overall, the place was fine, and we had a good time. It's a less expensive AirBnB in a trendy spot - and there's a reason for that, and I knew that going in. The wi-fi thing and the weird checkout scenario warranted a lengthy review.
