This apartment is in an awesome location and will meet your basic needs. The description makes the apartment sound much nicer than it is. Read carefully between the lines. In particular:
1. The building smells like cigarettes. The apartment smells faintly of cigarettes.
2. The 'retro' building is very shabby and pretty dirty. The apartment was very clean.
3. The rooftop patio is shared. The view is great.
4. The apartment's kitchen window overlooks a garage roof, in a 'garden level' apartment sort of way. The bedroom window is over the garage entrance. The street can be noisy. No other windows.
On the plus side, it's dog friendly and we loved the location. Walking out the front door to Cedar Lake and the Cedar Lake Trail was a treat. Allison was nice enough to let us store bikes in the hallway. The kitchen was very functional with lots of counter space for our cooking. We slept with the windows closed, which was fine.
Overall, Allison was a good host - good communication, hands-off, thorough. We would have been very happy to stay there at 30% less than the asking price. Minneapolis has many safe, walkable, beautiful neighborhoods with nicer apartments that cost less.
