Please ignore the check in instructions. Check in is quite easy. Drive up to the entrance and walk inside to use the far right box. Use the touch code area on the lower right, enter the code that Minnestay texted you, and a small box opens up with your key fob and garage card. Get back in your car, drive down the alley marked the Nordic right next to the Sable, pull into the garage on the right, using your white garage card, and find your assigned space. The fob opens everything else. Voila!
Our supposed one bedroom was actually a studio, about the size of a large hotel room. Yet, it had everything you need for a pied-à-terre, including a washer and dryer. Very clean, with a full kitchen, this Airbnb is a deal compared to a hotel. It includes parking! That’s expensive in Minneapolis. The neighborhood is the best! Safe, fun, with fantastic bars and restaurants a few steps away. The North Loop is so much nicer than downtown in the autumn of 2022. That isn’t going to change soon. I did miss the human aspect that was at the very foundation of the Airbnb concept in the beginning. A Minnestay Airbnb is about interacting with machines, but I’m old and frightened of this “Brave New World.” (Aldous Huxley - check him out) The only negative aspects of our stay were the communication and the mattress. All being said, I’d probably stay here again.
