Pros and Cons to this booking.
-Pros.
*Free parking on the street
*Great price
*Check in and out was easy and convenient
*Just a few blocks from food and shopping plus the metro which took us everywhere we wanted to go in St Paul and Minneapolis.
*Netflix and Hulu
-Cons
*Very small, which we expected, but neither myself nor my best friend could live like that for more than the few days we were there. It was a lot smaller than I thought but not really anyone’s fault. Pictures were accurate.
*The neighborhood isn’t the best, but it’s not as bad as everyone is saying. Keep to yourself and others will keep to themselves. We walked day and night but was never bothered besides one guy asking for pizza. Whatever, just keep walking and you’ll be okay.
*The whole apartment was not level so the bedroom door kept shutting even if left open, we eventually had to find something to prop it open because it would not stay. When walking into the kitchen from the bedroom I kept falling into stuff because of the floor being off.
*Shower is really narrow. It was annoying trying to shower with a window right there with a curtain on it. Also, the curtain is almost transparent so I’m sure the neighbors got quite a show.
*Vent in bathroom is damaged. Didn’t want to slice my foot open so I just took it out and left it out while we were there. No harm done. Even if the vent gets replaced, it’ll just get broken again. It’s a bad placement having it in the middle of the floor, right as soon as you get out of the shower.
*Air conditioning was not able to be controlled in unit but did message Matt and he turned it down for us at 4am so I don’t really consider this a bad thing.
*One set of towels for two people. This was irritating.
Overall, anything I had a compliant about or thought that the host should know, I told him about and he tried to fix. So I would consider this a win.
