As at least one previous guest has stated, there should be some sort of explicit statement that this couch is NOT in a private room of any kind. This is a sort of rooming house with many tenants, and this couch is in a common area in the back of the house with the shared bathroom right next to the couch. This entails a couple of things: you must pack up all of your things every morning and fold the couch back up into its functional sofa setting by 8-9am. You cannot keep anything in this space, so you'd better have room in your car to keep your luggage with you at all times. There are three "units" right next to you as well, and some of the doors scrape the ground pretty bad- loud enough to wake me up, and I'm not an especially light sleeper. Be prepared for people getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom (which also has a loud squeaky door). I also had to wait an hour after waking up to shower one morning because of the line to use the bathroom. Those are the negatives of this place, which for me weren't too bad, but certainly not exactly what I was expecting. Someone more high-maintenance than me would probably not enjoy their stay.
The positives: Stephanie, the house manager, was very friendly upon arrival and I could tell she cares about maintaining a clean, safe environment. She was very hospitable, and as stated the house was kept very clean. The other guests of the house seemed friendly enough, but due to the lack of privacy, I would leave the house by 9 each morning and wouldn't return until 11pm-midnight for bed, so I didn't have much interaction with them beyond brief hellos. I could tell everyone was trying to be mindful of the noise they were making going to and from the bathroom given the circumstances.
The house is in a good area, walking distance to places like the 331 and Sheridan Room, and a short drive to pretty much everywhere you'd want to visit in the city. It made getting around fairly easy, as this was my first time in Minneapolis.
All in all, I can't say I would personally choose to stay here again despite the friendly atmosphere. I would like more of a private space to rest after hours of walking around and exploring. That said, I did not in any way have a "bad" experience and if I were in a pinch I wouldn't be upset about the prospect of staying here again. The price is good enough for what it is. I think the main thing I'd suggest is for an updated description that's more explicit and revealing about what exactly you're signing up for.
