Stunning 3br close to everything! Clean and bright

Truly close to everything! Stay just blocks from the Mississippi River, steps from historic Grand & Summit Avenue with many shops & restaurants, 4 blocks from the University Avenue light-rail with city-wide routes, 3 blocks from both UST and Macalester College, only 1 mile from Allianz Field. Easy access to I-94 from a central location just minutes from both downtown Minneapolis and Saint Paul. The Beanhouse is well appointed, completely renovated and offers old-world charm.

Welcome to this charming turn of the century home filled with natural light and decorated in a cozy Scandinavian style. Meticulously maintained — you will not find a cleaner Airbnb. The Beanhouse has all the essentials covered for an enjoyable stay — and the best part… location! The Meriam park neighborhood is lovely. You’re walking distance to Whole Foods, Grand Avenue shops, university campuses and dozens of restaurants. We highly recommend a trip to the Breadsmith or Rose Street Patisserie. Close access to the river parkway and both downtowns. And even though you’re close to college campuses, this is a very quiet family neighborhood so enjoy the peacefulness, respect the neighborhood.

Ample free street parking out front. But please stay off the driveway as it belongs to the neighbors.

There is a keypad on the front door. You will receive an access code prior to your arrival. Please remember to hit the lock button when you leave.

I’m always available for questions. Just send me a message if you need anything.

Clean but a little sterile

The house was clean, full of Ikea type furnishings. Because it was obviously set up to be a rental and not for a family's own use, it had a bit of a sterile feel (lots of fake plants) despite the attractive decor. Location worked perfectly for us as we were there for the Mac graduation.

Great house in a great location!

This is an immaculate, beautiful, historic home, and the area was perfect for us to visit our college student at St Thomas, walk to restaurants, and go for runs on Summit Ave. I had some issues with the VRBO site when booking, and the host, Michael, could not have been nicer or more patient as we worked out a solution together. A lovely experience!

Nice space, unbeatable location

My family and I stayed here to attend a family reunion over the long weekend and were totally satisfied. The home is spacious and clean. The front porch was a great spot to chill and have coffee in the mornings. The host was communicative, including following-up with us during an unexpected power outage during our stay. And the location is unbeatable - very central. We were going to a range of places in both Minneapolis and St Paul over the weekend and nothing was ever more than 20-25 minutes away, which is remarkable. Plus the neighborhood is nice too - quiet street of bungalow-type homes but walking distance to stores and cafes a few blocks away. This is a really good find.

Great location and had everything we needed. Communication was timely. We felt like we lived there and really enjoyed our time on the porch watching the leaves fall. Great table to play cards and relax in the evening. Filtered water in the fridge was nice too. You can even walk to good restaurants. So happy we stayed here!

Super cute....well stocked house

We absolutely loved this place. Quaint, clean and well stocked.. (only comment - was in need of a guest book and maybe a board game or two) Comfortable - amazing location - close to small shops and easy access to St. Paul and Minneapolis - if you like old buildings and amazing architecture - this is the neighborhood. Host had some great food recommendations and was easily accessible. (Make sure to set some time aside for the antique mall on the corner - you will not be disappointed - don't forget to go down into the basement!) Highly recommend...
