Cynthia and Jay's place was adequate for my needs. General thoughts on pros and cons:
Pros
Decent location between uptown & downtown (20-30 min walk to key attractions). Two blocks the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Some neighborhood restaurants & coffee shops close by if you want to grab something quick.
Ample street parking - and a few off street spots - which is not insignificant in the winter if you have a rental car and are dealing with snow emergencies & parking restrictions.
Responsive hosts.
Cons
Place could benefit from some TLC. Mold in the bathroom, broken blinds (in significant areas - eg, in front of shower/toilet), wall scuffs, dirty windows, etc.
No cable or wi-fi enabled tv. Guests may want to bring a fire stick or laptop if they want to watch something in the evening.
Kitchen is not super functional. Very old appliances, a few utensils tossed in a drawer, not much in the way of staples.
Overall - ok for the price, though not sure I'd stay a second time.
