"This was our third stay and we plan to return again in the future. It is conveniently located within walking (or cycling in warmer weather) distance to wonderful trails that are nicely maintained during the winter months. A grocery store and a couple of neighborhood restaurants are also within walking distance. Also, nice updates to the duplex!" - Paula and Joe

"A beautiful little spot in a great location with all the amenities we could hope for. Check-in was a breeze, the space was clean and well-maintained, and we enjoyed our time there very much. Would love to stay again in the future." - Leah

Great Getaway

I had a solo retreat at this property and it was just perfect. So peaceful and simple yet with everything you would need for a great stay. Just two blocks away from all the paths at Minnehaha Falls. Check in and out was super easy and the host was a great communicator throughout. It is a duplex and you can hear a bit near the back entry (this was said in the description), but couldn't hear anyone from the other side throughout the house and even in the bedroom (which is off the back entry). It was a lovely place to stay!

We stayed for 8 days while floors were refinished at our home across the river. Everything was as described and our dog enjoyed the fenced backyard. I will recommend this to friends or family who come to town to visit.

Duplex

This apartment was a duplex , beautiful, very clean. Problem was the people who rented the otherside started banging on our door at 10 pm because they were confused and couldnt find the right door or code and kept hollering..open the door, open the door. Scared us to death.

Super location

We stayed 10 days. Easy Walk to really good restaurants, grocery, public transit, movie theater, and access to many bike trails. Quick drive to both downtown Mpls and St Paul. The property was as described. Bed was comfy soft, a/c worked great, sheets/towels had been laundered with non-scented detergent. No perfume air fresheners. WiFi was fast enough for remote work. Neighborhood was quiet, proximity to airport is easy yet very little airplane noise. We hope to stay here again.

Nice location in the city

Good property that is centrally located to get around. Good accommodations. Only slight downfall is the backyard. Grass is basically all weeds, which is a hotbed for bugs and mosquitoes. You cant sut outaide and enjoy, but still the location is good.

Convenient, Clean & Cozy

We stayed for an extended period while we were in transition for housing and enjoy the convenience of the location, the cleanliness and coziness of the home and the opportunity to get to know a new part of town.Andrew was highly responsive, even letting us know about rules and regulations regarding snow so that our stay would be comfortable. We would definitely rent from Andrew again and encourage others to do the same.
