This is a very cute location with stores within walking distance. Local buses very close to take you downtown. Light rail from downtown can take you to historic Fort Snelling, Minnehaha Falls or both Airports. If trouble climbing stairs I would try for ground level unit if available? I had the upper level which was fine for me but my husband is very tall and it was scary on the way down ( risers short due to age of house). Overall I was pleased with the peace and quiet!!!
