This place was fantastic for our needs. We made a quick weekend trip into Minneapolis for a concert. We were a quick Uber drive away from the orchestra hall where the concert was. We were within a few blocks of some excellent restaurants, bars and cafes. We had no need to go outside the North loop area for food. we were one block away from the Mississippi river walkway which seems to go on forever and was great to walk and look around. It also take you across to St. Pauls. The only minor thing I would make note of is that the venting and plumbing can be loud. That didn't bother us since we can both sleep through just about anything, but if you are a light sleeper this may be a problem. other than that we felt very safe as the North Loop seems to be a more upscale residential area.
