I am originally from St Paul, and this place was in Minneapolis. But honestly, it was relatively Central, and worked out really great. We needed a place to stay for a full month between selling our house in Madison, Wisconsin and buying one in Rochester, Minnesota. David was amazing in helping us work out details of timing, and even adding a day at the end, relatively late. This was our first experience with Airbnb. I would love to believe that it is always so awesome! But I have a feeling this was special. Our hosts were kind and very thoughtful, they have friendly curious cats, and they even have seven chickens in the back, along with turtles in a small pond! Hard cider and beer in the basement (free sample first, then very reasonable cost), and fresh eggs when we needed them, were just two more of the special touches that we will never forget, and that may draw us back in the future. The kitchen was good, and had all the basics, including both fridge and freezer, oven and stovetop, and even a toaster and spiffy coffee machine. Great filtered water tap too! Many hip and unique places to eat are nearby, within walking distance. There is a lot of construction going on right now on I-94 and 35W, and where they come together, very nearby. We did not hear construction noise per se, but it was a little more difficult than usual to get around by car; just be aware! There are bus lines nearby that make it easy to get anywhere with public transit, and only blocks away, was access to a greenspace bike trail that goes all the way between Lake of the Isles and the Mississippi, and beyond. If you are coming in the summertime, you should bring bikes! There is a bike rack inside the garage for shelter and security. This Airbnb Arrangement is probably somewhat rare. You can rent just one bedroom: one has the bathroom connected, the second bedroom is just across the end of the kitchen, and shares that bathroom. Or you can rent the whole house (main floor), which is what we did. The basement space is shared, but the hosts have a tiny house in the backyard that they lived in while we were there, and no cost laundry is available in the basement, alongside the "speakeasy". My husband works from home, and we had to bring his office chair, but otherwise, the space and the layout of the second bedroom was perfect for that. There was not a hardwire internet connection to the "office" room, but the WiFi was adequate. The one slight disadvantage to the house was that it did not have central air, and the temperature was literally over 100° outside for part of the time we were there. However, if you can handle uneven cooling at all, it's fine, because there are ceiling fans in most rooms for circulation, and window A/C units in both...
