I stayed with Kirsten for 2,5 months in early 2018, when I was visiting the University of Minnesota as a PhD student doing research on Minneapolis Sound. I was staying in a small, bright, and comfortable room with a super-comfortable bed. I did most of my work at the U, so it was all I ever needed! Kirsten has a great kitchen, which I used on a daily basis - it has everything that you would need. Also, there's a washing machine and a dryer in the basement, which was very convenient for a long-term visitor like me. However, I would say that the best things about living with Kirsten were: (a) location, which is in a friendly, quiet neighborhood near the river, a 30-minutes walk from the U (or 7 min bus ride + 15 min walk) and a 25-minutes direct bus ride from downtown; and (b) Kirsten's hospitality, which was an absolute highlight! Not to mention her wonderful dog and two cats! Highly recommended, my best experience on Airbnb, hands down.
