Susan and Nick's place worked pretty well for my long-ish and schedule-packed conference trip in Minneapolis, but isn't ideal without a car. The apartment itself is well stocked, including things like a first aid kit (which I appreciated after getting a blister the first day!), is clean, and is spacious. Downsides for me: I didn't have a car, and there is really nowhere close for groceries etc-- a friend helped me stock up a bit the first night, but I didn't have time to make the 17min walk to the closest grocery store. I had hoped to take public transit but lacking easy access to a transit pass, I just ended taking Uber everywhere (which was fine). Fortunately, Susan and Nick had stocked the fridge a bit with a couple yogurts and granola bars, which I really appreciated. Finally, for folks sensitive to noise overhead, the apartment isn't ideal-- the house is old and movement from the upstairs apartment is very audible (they provide ear plugs by the bed for this purpose). Overall it was a fine experience but I would have stayed somewhere more centrally located if I could choose again.
