My husband and I stayed for 4 nights while attending a wedding from out of state. The space is located in the basement of a home in an urban neighborhood central to almost anything in the area. Its an older neighborhood… maybe some people would say transitional but seemed very safe and quiet. The apartment is very clean and well appointed. The bed was pretty comfortable, too. Plenty of space to spread out a little bit and a full size fridge, too. While children live in the house, I never once heard them. You can however hear the family dog and footsteps from time to time. Nothing too major, but keep in mind if you are a light sleeper. The location is awesome… you can get to lots of restaurants, shops, lakes, and downtown in 10-15 minutes from the house. For the price, you really can’t beat it … especially if you are someone who enjoys exploring fun neighborhoods in new cities when traveling. The hosts were also great communicators which is always a plus. All instructions were clear from check in to house rules to neighborhood info. Thanks for the fun stay in Minneapolis!
