Wonderful Stay

We really enjoyed our stay…it was in a great location (1 mins from a amazing park, 9 mins to Mall of America, 14 mins to airport) had the perfect layout for our family and planned gatherings and was seamless check in and out with the host. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor space and the downstairs TV area for the kids. We all had such a wonderful time and would absolutely stay here again.
