beautiful apartment with a lot of thought and care put into it. the owners live upstairs so they maintain the property. very spacious. it’s best to have 2 or more guests to enjoy the 2bd and the space.
i only heard the train once and it was brief. i’m sensitive to noise and it wasn’t a big deal.
i lived a few blocks away and i agree this is the best neighborhood in mpls. you’re a few minutes walk to several lakes. easy access to well-maintained bike paths. walking distance to rustica (good coffee and pastries) and whole foods, as well as good restaurants like waikame and urban eatery. despite the trains it’s also a quiet cozy neighborhood.
this would be a good spot to stay in the winter since it’s well-appointed, cozy, and quiet. perfect spot to hole up in and relax.
the next time i’m in mpls with a group i’ll definitely look to stay here again.
