AIRBNB review
1901 5th Street NE - upstairs
Minneapolis, Minnesota

January 15, 2016

My wife and I spent three enjoyable weeks in the upstairs unit of this vintage corner store during the 2015-2016 Christmas and New Year’s holidays. According to Peter and Kathryn, this was the first time they had guests who stayed for that length of time.
Peter & Kathryn were very attentive, helpful, locally knowledgeable and considerate hosts. Our questions were answered quickly….and we were delighted with our stay.

The apartment is secure (two separate locking doors), spacious and airy and has light streaming in from all four directions. The smart thermostat kept the unit comfortably warm( important in a Minnesota winter) and was easy to operate. WIFI access throughout the unit is excellent. There was plenty of street parking for our rental car…..and if one wished to use public transportation, there are two separate bus routes within easy walking distance.

The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment, a gas stove, a large refrigerator with freezer and a dishwasher, and a great supply of hot water. The bedroom is comfortable with enough storage space to empty your suitcase and put your clothes in dresser drawers or to hang them. The bathroom is small, but adequate. The photos available on the website show the unit accurately….particularly its roominess.

Of special note during our stay was Peter & Kathryn’s willingness and encouragement for us to have a New Year’s Eve Party. They did not hesitate to say yes when we told them of our hope to invite some of our Minneapolis friends for the evening. We had a great evening and everyone commented favorably on our apartment. Would we return for another extended stay? - - - definitely!
