Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Place was clean, had lots of sleeping space and private bedrooms, and exactly what our inter generational, multi-family group needed for visiting others in town. The arcade game was a huge hit with our kids. Communication was great and check-in very easy! Some aspects of an old home that didn’t work great for us—some indoor doors didn’t close all the way or easily, a running toilet, some bathtub fixtures need repair, and heating was inconsistent in various bedrooms.

Spacious Property and Great Location

This property was perfect for my group. The individual rooms felt very private when we needed space to ourselves and everything was very clean. Uptown (the neighborhood) had everything - grocery stores, bars, restaurants, shops - just outside the front door. And the option walk down Lake St. to the lakes was awesome.

Comfortable home, good location

My family of four stayed here Christmas week. The water the first morning was ice cold So I texted the host. She replied immediately and had her handyman stop by within the hour. We had hot water in record time. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds comfortable, and we were quite happy with our stay.

Cute house with great amenities

Inside of the house was great and very clean. Lots of handy kitchen amenities and linens. While the house is a few blocks away from a really cool neighborhood, this block and the couple on either side I would describe as “up and coming”. Not terrible, but not super walkable or enjoyable to be outside. Parking is pretty tight but that’s the reality of the location. Really appreciate the toddler and baby amenities like highchair, bin of toys, and day beds in room.

Great place near great restaurants and bars

Myself and 3 friends stayed here for a few nights while visiting Minneapolis for a Vikings game. The location was a short ride to downtown for the game but we were just a short walk to several amazing restaurants and bars to keep us entertained. The house had two showers which was great for 4 adults and plenty of sleeping space. The kitchen had all that could be needed. The host was quick to respond to any questions. Thanks for letting us stay during our visit!

Decent location...not great if it is hot

We stayed on what was a very hot week for Minneapolis. The upstairs bedrooms have window a/c the rest of the house does not which leaves the downstairs bedroom quite warm one of the window units wasnt working when we got there but they did replace it the next day. Their was a dvd player but no hdmi cable. There were many games but only a couple had enough parts to actually play them. The location was good, we had about a 15 minute drive to most things we wanted to do. The house was also clean.

Overall good. The parking pad needs some attention: it is raised off the ground and it scrapes the bottom of your car as you drive on or off of it. The house had all the room we needed. Some new kitchen pots and pans would hep. But overall it was a good experience.

Stunning and well appointed home, 10/10!!

I would recommend this home to anyone! In the heart of uptown, close to the lakes, gorgeous decor and furniture. Well appointed Kitchen both downstairs and upstairs-the second kitchen and second shower were a huge bonus for our big group. We were in town for a wedding and had plenty of space. 10/10 would stay again! Wonderful thank you!!
