This was my first AirBnB. So I have no basis for comparison. But I typically stay at hotels on business. This was as good, but significantly better value for the money. This place is across the street from a small park, 5 minute walk from Loring Park. Each morning, I went to Dunn Brother's coffee across from Loring Park and went for a walk. One night, I walked 2 blocks to Sebastian Joe's ice cream (really good...worth the walk).
I was in Minneapolis on business. Conference was downtown at the Marriott. Each day, I rented a Nice Ride bike for $2 each way. It took me 15 minutes of easy pedaling to get to the conference center. Bikes are available just over a block away. I didn't even work up a sweat...riding in my business clothes with my computer strapped to the front.
The mansion is great. Entrance is on the second floor. Got there by walking up a spiral staircase. There's a small deck just outside the entrance door with some deck furniture. One night, I sat out there an took in the breeze. Entrance is private. There are two rooms off the deck. One is up to the 3rd floor. Mine was on the 2nd. The suite has a bedroom with 2 twin beds, a few chairs, and air conditioner and a closet. Off the bedroom is a private bath. Shower is in the tub. Everything worked great and was very clean. There's a laundry room and a small kitchenette with a microwave (didn't use either). Internet was fast and reliable.
The house is fairly old...but comfortable. I slept great on one of the twin beds. Left the windows open to get some air. It was nice. No loud street noise, so I slept like a baby. If I were to make one suggestion, it'd be to have an outlet to charge my phone. I had an exetension cord in my bag, so I worked it out. Not a big deal, but would be a good add.
Property manager, Angel, was a big help. My flight arrived at midnight so he had to let me in at 1AM. No issues. He explained the logistics and gave me some pointers on getting around. When I contacted him at the end of my stay, he got right back to me.
So it was a great stay. And cost me 50% of a hotel outside of town, 30% of a downtown hotel. I'd recommend this place for a business traveler.
