I strive to make my guests as comfortable as possible, and I know I can not make everyone happy but I do the very best I can. Many people seem to not take the time to do reviews so here are some other reviews from guests who book from me on another site.
Joanne was there to meet us the day we arrived and gave us a brief tour of the apartments features. She was readily available by phone/text when we needed her. Beds were comfy and the TV was a great feature.
What Cheryl loved about your listing:
I liked the convenience to be able to walk to the Mayo Clinic at St Mary's Hospital where my husband was admitted for surgery. The location close to Walgreens, the Hy Vee grocery store, restaurants, and convenience stores was also nice. After his discharge from the hospital it was nice to be able to walk on the paved running/biking path nearby. The Roku TV was very nice too since we were limited in our ability to go outside much.
Joanne was wonderful! I booked the apartment a couple months in advance and we kept in contact throughout the entire process. My boyfriend and I were visiting because he had appointments at Mayo Clinic. The apartment was indeed cute and cozy!! It was perfect for what we needed- commuting back and forth from Mayo, preparing a few meals, and even renting movies from the red box at Walgreens right down the block! The little "fire place" kept us plenty warm and we even could do laundry here. Joanne met us when we arrived and gave us a little tour of our new temporary home. She also encouraged us to contact her if we needed anything at all. The apartment was clean and safe and I would definitely recommend anyone to stay at Joanne's if they're visiting the Rochester, MN area. Thanks again! :)

Joanne was a great host! Month's stay flew by. Had to stay an extra day and Joanne was incredibly accommodating. The apartment is right beside good restaurants and supermarket and only a short walk to St Mary's Hospital and to downtown. Would stay again any time!

I stayed in Joanne's apartment again for a month (Sep-Oct 2015) during my treatment at Mayo. As previously, Joanne has been quick to respond, available for whatever I needed and made me feel at home. I could not wish for a better host and a nicer place to stay in a Rochester.

Joanne immediately welcomed us when we arrived in Rochester. As soon as we saw the apartment, we realized it was better than we could have hoped. The kitchen was well-equipped and the environment was cozy. It was excellent to have access to a washer and drier right outside our door. Just a few steps farther was the only grocery store you will ever need. If you are staying for the Mayo Clinic, the core campus is only a short walk away. Joanne was also nice enough to lend us two bikes for our stay. We highly recommend this apartment.

Joanne was very friendly and helpful. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Good wifi connection. It is in a nice neighbourhood and good location - we had a car for some of the time and some of the time we didn't but the location worked well in both cases. We stayed for several weeks and this was definitely the best option for us in Rochester in terms of price, comfort and convenience.
What Mark loved about your listing:
Space and location
My husband and I stayed in Joanne's apartment for 9 days while I was undergoing testing at the Mayo Clinic. Joanne has been awesome in every possible way - she responded to my texts and calls immediately and greeted us herself upon our arrival. She is very pleasant, and has renovated and decorated this place with so much love and care. The apartment is exactly as shown in pictures - clean, neat, and has absolutely everything for a most comfortable stay. The location is amazing - absolutely everything is within a walking distance. I will have to come back to Mayo for follow ups later this year and I will definitely first check if this apartment is available. Outstanding experience in every way.

So with that, I hope that if you are visiting Rochester, you give my place a try. I do not think you will be disappointed.
Thanks for checking out my space!

We were in Rochester for a week of appointments at Mayo Clinic. This is a great place to stay for anyone willing to walk 20 minutes or so (through pleasant, quiet neighborhoods) to the clinic buildings. It is so nice to have space to spread out (living room, two bedrooms, kitchen) compared to a hotel room, along with the opportunity to cook and store food. We especially enjoyed time in the beautiful back yard.
This is the 3rd time I’ve stayed here. It’s perfect for me quiet and comfortable.
Excellent time. Only problem was that my sister and I, who are both in our 70's, didn't take into account the stairs. That would be the only reason we would not use this unit again. The manager was there to meet us and there was a designated parking space for us and she showed us around the unit. Very well done. Thank you.
The apartment was very clean and just adorable! The beds were very comfortable! Easy communication with Joanne! Will stay again if I ever am up that way!
We come for regular treatment at Mayo. This is our second stay here and Joanne is fantastic. The house is clean tidy & cozy. We love having a wonderful home away from home.
Great location. Very homey and warm and like my aunt just stepped out of her house and gave it to me. Not perfect (it is a 1940's building) which I like which made me comfortable. I just felt truly at home Small touches of thoughtfulness that I discovered as I stayed there. Good washer and dryer, thank god. Truly no complaints.
This was a perfect accommodation for me. Groceries, liquor, gas, coffee, and pharmacy all within approximately a block away. Nice kitchen and comfortable beds. Great space. Thank you
We had appointments at Mayo Clinic for a week. The apartment very close to clinic. It is a perfect place to stay, super cozy and very clean. walkable to grocery store and walgreens. we loved our stay and Joanne was wonderful to work with. Staying again in December. Highly recommend
Joanne was the perfect hostess! She met us there upon arrival and went over everything with us in detail. A short drive, 7 minutes to the Mayo Clinic. Walk to Walgreens and or the HyVee right around the corner. Everything was clean and neat, bed was comfortable and having a washer and dryer on site was a huge plus. We would definitely recommend!
This was a very comfortable place for the two of us to stay while receiving care at Mayo Clinic. Joanne is very personable, and we enjoyed meeting here. We had plenty of privacy. It was nice to eat most of our meals in-house, our sheets and mattresses were comfortable, and we enjoyed having televisions in the living room and bedrooms. The temperature in the apartment was nice and cool, which was a bonus as we are used to hot weather this time of year. I got out and walked at least an hour everyday through the neighborhood and found that I could walk to the Mayo building in about 10 minutes. (I am a fast walker.) We were very satisfied with our stay.
Joanne met us upon arrival to check us in. Apartment was comfortable and convenient to grocery store, drug store, etc. Having a space to relax while dealing with stress of medical appointments was wonderful.
