This was my first trip & experience booking an Airbnb. We were staying in Minneapolis for 3 nights for business and pleasure. My daughter who will be attending The U in the spring had a student transfer orientation on Friday and we decided to stay a few extra days and take in the area. When looking at different properties for our trip I had narrowed it down to 2 possibilities, one being Michele & Erik’s property. Initially I had booked a different Airbnb on my daughters request as it was a tad bit closer to the university. BIG mistake. We arrived very late on Thursday night and I was HIGHLY disappointed in our first choice. After a sleepless night I reached out to Michele very early in the morning on Friday hoping that I would be able to secure their apartment for the remainder of our trip. She was very prompt in responding to me and thankfully it was still available. Without boring you with all the personal details (let’s just say our quick trip had started off on the wrong foot) UNTIL we arrived at our second Airbnb which was Michele & Erik’s property. I shared with Michele all that we had experienced up to that point and her compassion and understanding is an understatement! Prior to getting there she warmed the apartment for our arrival and added many extra touches with a welcoming note that reassured me that we were finally where we were meant to be. The apartment was very clean and charming. Michele requested we leave our wet shoes by the door and I was, along with my family, Happy to oblige as we do the same at our home. You knew right away that they put a lot of thought and love into their space. There was warm wax melting in a nightlight that greeted you with a beautiful fragrance. Michele gave us a quick tour of the apartment and showed us where extra towels and blankets were if needed. We talked about and learned about the vintage items that consumed the space. She pointed out the coffee shop and a few other businesses that were within walking distance and others that were not. We learned many details about the neighborhood. I was thrilled that not only did the pictures and description online represent their place honestly but it was actually understated! I find this to be so important when trying to decide the right fit for me and my family. I want to feel comfortable in unfamiliar space. This place felt like Home with different furnishings! There was enough seating that we were all able to hang out together to talk or watch tv while not out exploring the area. WiFi and direct tv was a plus for our young adult children. We could have cooked and shared a meal there had we decided to because everything needed to do that was available to us. Without a doubt I will be looking to book...
