Right from the second we arrived, Kirsten was a gracious host. We texted her from the airport to tell her we'd be there within the hour, and when we arrived, she was waiting for us at the door, ready to give a tour of her home and the room we'd be staying in.

I was more than impressed by the decor of the room and it's cleanliness and order, but what was even cooler was that she provided numerous towels (both large and small), an array of soaps, shampoos, and conditioners (organic and otherwise), a ton of pillows, and chrome cast TV. She even had a fridge, a microwave, an espresso machine, and a diverse selection of teas displayed. It was amazingly welcomingly, and you could tell that she put a lot of thought into what would make the ideal AirBNB.

Lastly, the home is located in a great neighborhood, just minutes from Hennepin St., which has a lot of dining options, and only 30 minutes from the convention center, if you're traveling by foot.
