The unit was in an older building, and very tidy. The host was very responsive and helpful when I wasn't understanding that the key lock box was alphanumeric. The unit is nicely decorated with plenty of pots, pans, kitchen utensils, nice artwork, extra towels and blankets, little dish of hard candy, and other "nice touches" to make you feel welcome. I came at a time when outside temps ranged from 50 to 80 F, and was comfortable inside with ceiling fans running. I didn't see a thermostat for temp control, and since the heat is vis radiators, I'm assuming there is no AC. If that is important to you, check with the host, because I'm not certain. The area, St Anthony (in St Paul) is a lovely neighborhood of large homes from yesteryear, with a cute little downtown area on Como St.
