The airbnb was one of the best I've ever stayed in. I never met the hosts, but it wasn't necessary because their instructions and directions were so on point that I was able to easily negotiate everything. The room is in a very large, old Victorian house with a separate entrance to the side with a code to get in, so it was very private, quiet and easy.
There is a beautiful backyard with a pretty little pond, a bee area (she keeps bees) and a sitting area. The landscaping is lush and lovely.
The room is filled with a LOT of thoughtful amenities. She makes beauty products out of the bees she keeps and gives complimentary organic and allergy-free bee soap and lip balm from her beeswax. I thought that was a really generous and classy touch.
As I wrote before, the house is an old Victorian, and she provides a binder of newspaper articles and information about the first owners of the home. Being a bit of a genealogy history buff and lover of Victoriana (nerd), I was fascinated and read the entire binder.
The location is excellent. A 15-minute walk to downtown, where I ended my Airbnb stay brought me to my ulitimate destination, my business hotel, the Hilton. I walked. I also walked to the Mill City Museum to take a tour at this fine exhibit of an old flour mill on the Mississippi River and learned how grain and flour made Minneapolis the city it is today. Really interesting and well-done tour. Loved it.
In all, it was a great stay and the owners have done a great job providing their guests with a comfortable, cozy and top notch Airbnb stay. I highly recommend it.
