the location is great! very quiet, older neighborhood that felt safe and had several great places within walking distance, and all of the major attractions such as mall of america are a short car ride as well.
i HIGHLY recommend taking the short 5min walk to the Once Upon A Crime bookstore if you get the chance! it’s definitely one of the coolest places i’ve ever been, and the owner is one of the nicest people i’ve ever met.
it wasn’t super clear initially that this is one unit of three or four in the home. however, for the location and price it was still a steal and we had no problems with noise or anything with anyone else staying.
checkin was super easy and communication was great!
to note: the stairs leading up to the largest bedroom and attic type area have some sort of black rectangles on them that are VERY slippery when you have socks on - be careful!
also, we attempted to light the fire pit on the deck/porch the first night (perfect weather), but it wouldn’t light. we weren’t sure if it was out of propane or broken so we asked the hosts who were super quick to respond, but they did say it was broken which was slightly disappointing but there are so many other great things about this unit, the location, and the hosts that it didn’t really affect anything.
overall, it was a fantastic stay!
