We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Colleen and Aaron's home in Lowry Hill in Minneapolis. The apartment is what I've come to expect for a nicer urban AirBnB downstairs/garden/basement space but with some bonuses.
It's a great place for two couples or a family of 4 with 2 kids who don't mind sharing a bed who are looking to be in a quiet Minneapolis residential neighborhood vs in the middle of city action (i.e. Downtown/Uptown areas).
Pros:
- Hosts were fantastic
- Comfortable beds
- Beds and linens were very nice (best bath towels anywhere)
- Great welcome snacks/beverages
- Better then average equipped kitchen (utensils/pots & pans/place settings)
- Fantastic neighborhood
- Good sized bedrooms
- Convenient to recreation paths
Cons: (I'm being very particular here, just where things might not be 100% perfect for everyone)
- very small bathroom (really the only true "con")
- some noise from living spaces above (but hosts did include earplugs) nothing unexpected from an up/down apartment in an older building
- not super convenient if you want to be downtown, but if that's what you want, then you're looking in the wrong neighborhood to begin with
We would certainly look to stay here again if we're back in Minneapolis
