Great space, comfortable, clean, location was perfect!

The apartment was ideal and exactly as described. It was very clean, and very comfortable with a lovely, well-equipped kitchen. We didn’t make use of the outside area, or the bicylces, but they seemed in great condition, and with the nearby bike paths around the lake that would be a nice option next time.

We were very satisfied with our stay. The apartment was well stocked, clean, convenient, and just right for us. The host was very responsive when we had questions. We would stay here again.

Great location and amenities. Worked well for an infant, as there was a pack n play provided, and there are no stairs or death traps inside the condo.

I really enjoyed this rental! I would say the only thing that could improve would be the pillow quality, but aside from that everything met my expectations.

Stayed here with a friend. The place was very comfortable and represented accurately in the listing. We don’t do any cooking, but had everything we needed in the kitchen. It was nice to have a good supply of dishes, silverware and hangers, which is rare in a vacation rental. The neighborhood is really nice and we enjoyed walking around looking at the houses and gardens. We had a couple of issues during the stay, which our hosts were quick to address and make sure everything was ok for us. Would definitely stay here again!

This was a fantastic property. We especially appreciated the garage because we brought bikes along. The interior is exceptionally attractive and functional, the kitchen was spotless and well appointed, and the owner was quick to respond to our questions. We couldn't have been more pleased.

The property is in a good location near Lake Bde Maka Ska and with easy access to trails and restaurants. However, the intersection is noisy. Fortunately, the bedrooms are in the back, so the noise isn't too bad at night. I worked during the day and the street noise bothered me then. The cemetery across the street allows visitors and I found that to be a tranquil place to walk. To access the unit, you must climb a set of stairs with a shorter tread than found in newer homes. That may cause difficulties for some people, especially while carrying a heavy suitcase. The property was very clean, comfortable, and as described. The host was very responsive. The messages I received from the host stated that check out was at 10:00 a.m. with no warning of consequences if not out by 9:59. I took most of my luggage to my car around 9:55. At 10:00 a.m., I tried to open the apartment door to retrieve my purse and a couple other packed bags I had left by the exit. I discovered that my door code became inactive at exactly 10:00 a.m., so I was locked out. Fortunately, I had my cell phone in my pocket and was able to message the host through the VRBO app and he quickly unlocked the door remotely. If I had not had my phone with me or if I had left a young child in the apartment so I could carry luggage down the stairs, this could have been a serious problem. I suggest checking with the host about this policy if you book the unit.

Perfect location for a family getaway to Minneapolis.

great news place! location was teriffic, beds were comfy and any question we might have had was anticipated

Lovely property, well appointed and clean. Comfy beds, convenient location to all the things see wanted to do in the twin cities.

Great location; walkable to the lake, restaurants, entertainment. The host was very responsive and the check in process was very easy. Would highly recommend this property.

We enjoyed our stay, and I would stay here again. I loved walking down to the lake. Garage parking is a great bonus, and would be a super advantage in the winter months. Property is very clean. Host was easy to work with.

Overall, this place is very nice. A few blocks to the lake in one direction and a few blocks to cafes and a great book store in another! Be sure to make your way to the lake, it’s a wonderful place to walk. And the surrounding neighborhoods have charming houses if you’re into that. The rooms are spacious with nightstands and mirrors, and a place to plug in your phone at night, which not all vacation homes have. We had trouble with the heat and the manager fixed it immediately, very responsive. Note that if anyone in your party has trouble with stairs, this unit is on the second floor and the stairs are very narrow and steep, which seems to be a sign of houses built in a certain age. A couple of improvements, which I shared with the manager: add a window cover on the bathroom window. Only the bottom half is covered, I felt very visible at night. And there are not blackout blinds in the bedroom, so if you require a dark room, be sure to bring your sleep mask. I was very glad that the checkout instructions were simple, to start the dishwasher and take out the trash. We had a very nice stay here and recommend it.

We loved this place. It was perfect. The owners were easy to work with.

The unit was clean and everything was in good working order. Walked the nearby lake several times. There are many nice restaurants and coffee shops that are also walking distance. I’d definitely stay here again.

We truly enjoyed our stay! It was so conveniently located to the lake and great coffee shops. Everything was very clean and the check in process was seamless—all around great stay! Thanks again!

We very much enjoyed our stay. The property was comfortable and met our needs. We very much enjoyed being so close to both Bde Maka Ska and Lake Harriet, most days we walked along the lake both in the morning and the evening. It was also very convenient to the bus making a trip to downtown Minneapolis easy. It was the perfect base for us to explore the Twin Cities and a bit of Minnesota.

The property was really nice. We were very comfortable. The garage was especially nice to have in an area with limited street parking.

Will stay here again

We really enjoyed our stay for four nights in early June. The house was impeccably clean, well furnished, with lots of extras that made it comfortable. Marvin was a great host. Always accessible for questions and instructions. We would stay there again.
