Your Airbnb space is so convenient to downtown Mpls and St. Paul. It is also across the street from the University of Saint Thomas's North campus. There are university events taking place during the academic year which increase activity in the neighborhood. I value transparency and will notify guests of scheduled university events. I am a dog owner. If this is uncomfortable, I suggest a different Airbnb.
