    The Brix are great hosts- the information they provided about everything was clear and easy to understand. But the best part about our stay was the space itself! Well worth the expense and I will be staying there again.

    The Aurora Black @ The Brix was amazing! Great location, super comfortable accommodations (everything was as described in the listing) and exceptional hosts! Our plans changed and they were able to accommodate our changes to make our trip extra special! We’ve traveled to Duluth multiple times and this was one of our most unforgettable trips because of everything Aurora Black has to offer!

    The Brix is a great option for a family getaway to Duluth. Space is clean and thoughtfully decorated / organized to allow for relaxation! Kitchen is fully appointed with all utensils and supplies you might need plus an extra roll of paper towel! Great coffee/tea bar. We had plenty of towels which was handy for after pool rinsing. I might suggest bringing lotion to combat the chlorine! Kids loved the pool - a huge factor in our choosing this location. The Brix is close to almost everything and we were able to leave our car and walk everywhere such as the Railroad Museum. Be aware, the local food mart does not have much options so load up on groceries so you don’t need to leave Canal Park. We loved our stay and would recommend it to others.

    The location was nice, building was ok, pool area wasn’t great. The price was expensive for what you got! I don’t think I’d stay again!

    We were impressed with so many things about this rental…first, the absolute cleanliness of the property! It was immaculate and well-stocked for any situation. We had five adults in our family group and there was room enough and privacy for everyone. We were so pleased and delighted. The owners were so friendly and accommodating, responding to every question promptly. We will definitely consider this place again when we are in town.

    We wanted a place that offers walking distance to many attractions, has a pool, and provides both separate and social spaces for our family, ranging in age from 16 to 78. This met all our wishes. We made extensive use of the well-appointed kitchen.

    The property was excellent. Clean with great amenities. But the surrounding shops and places to eat were great. The first night we did Red Lobster. One of our favorite places to eat. We also enjoyed Caribou half a block away. We will do it again with our granddaughters next time. Thank you.
