Beautiful house, highly recommend!! The house is spacious and comfortable, bright and well appointed. Everything we needed was there, and the owner was extremely attentive and easy to reach. The location is great. Perfect for a family or group stay in Minneapolis. We'll come back if we have the chance!!

The house was very well located for where we needed to be in Minneapolis. Nice neighborhood with good amenities nearby. The house was consistent with other houses in the neighborhood-- older homes with charm and a few eccentricities. Some of the stairs are steep and narrow if you have mobility issues. Not an issue for us, but might be for some visitors. All in all, a very nice stay.

Good location in a nice, very walkable, quiet residential area and about 10-15 minute walk to lakes, shops, and short drive to grocery. Some nice old architectural features on the inside of the house. Very comfortable for three people. Kitchen has most of the basics and is a good size. Bedrooms were comfortable tho of very different sizes (we drew straws to see who got which!). We all used the nice large modern shower in the basement and not the shower in the claw-footed tub on the second floor. PLENTY of towels as well as extra supplies (TP, etc). Very convenient to have a washer and dryer (in the basement next to the shower)The AC worked well (weather was in the mid 90s when we visited) and there are fans in one room and a window AC in the attic bedroom.Ben was very responsive throughout - couldn't have been better!

Very Nice Property

Very nice property - clean, well equipped and in very nice neighborhood. Ben, the host, was very responsive during our stay to a couple of questions. The property is on a relatively busy street and is on a flight path for MSP. While sitting on the front porch was noisy, the inside of the house was relatively quiet. We enjoyed our stay and would stay at the property again.

Great house with room to spread out

This house was a fantastic find. We had figured it would be more space than our family of four would need, but as it turned out we loved having the space to spread out so comfortably, with lots of cozy nooks. The house was immaculate, well furnished with modern decor, and well equipped with everything we needed. And the location can’t be beat, walkable to fantastic shops and restaurants, parks and of course the lake. Highly recommend.

Spring Break Getaway

We came up to the Twin Cities for our high schoolers spring break and to spend our college students birthday. He attends U of Minn. We did an Escape Game, visited Minnesota Zoo, saw St Paul Cathedral and Wabasha Street Caves. The house was in a great central location. There was plenty is space. Really like the Lake Harriet area vibe. House was super clean and plenty of extras.

Fantastic location, and great house. Very safe, blocks away from the lake, family, friendly location. House had everything we needed. Ben was super attentive to any questions we had. The house is adorable. The only downside is if stairs are an issue this is not the house for you.

Great place for families! 2 blocks to excellent park, nice kid amenities like booster seat and baby gate. The house was comfortable and the location unbeatable.Only request is they change the polyester sheets for cotton. That would be a big and easy upgrade.
