We decided to come to Minneapolis for a short trip on a whim, and this house was a great deal and had a central location to things we wanted to do. It is just a few minutes to Mall of America. We also went to the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul… and this house is convenient to just about everything.
It’s an older home, so if you are expecting suburban modern, this won’t be your kind of place. The hosts, however, have updated the bathroom and the beds and furniture are comfortable and clean! It was warm and all of the HVAC and appliances worked just as they should. The kitchen had all the pots and pans we needed.
There is a single shower/tub in the upstairs bathroom and toilet in the basement. There is no bathroom on the main floor. If you are not wanting to go up and down stairs a lot, this may not be the place for you.
The neighborhood was fairly quiet and we had no safety concerns or anything. You can ONLY park in the street, but we had no problems with that. We always found a spot in front of the house.
The hosts were very straightforward and excellent with communication. They were even kind enough to give us a heads up about rules put in place when the city needs to plow the streets as it snowed before our arrival.
For what you get, I think this is a great value.
