The apartment was very nice, though smaller than it appears in the photos. Check in was easy and there were plenty of clean towels, the kitchen was well stocked, and it was very clean. It was mostly quiet although you definitely could hear the child running around upstairs. The neighborhood had its advantages - a Co-op right next door, a great Thai restaurant a few blocks away, the Northern Clay center a ten minute walk, and a 10 minute drive to most other places in the city. However, the patio would be much more viable with some landscaping, and there were signs of the rough year Minneapolis has been through - empty buildings, unkempt yards, and some unfortunate souls making walking down the street alone at night feel a bit unsafe. Otherwise- a nice place in a convenient location.
