Clean, quiet, centrally located

"This is a wonderful property in a great location! It’s easy to get to anywhere. The property was clean, quiet, and well setup for indoor & outdoor living. The kitchen is a little tough if you’re staying for more than a couple of days because there isn’t any cabinet space for food/pantry items. Would definitely stay again!"

Fantastic outdoor space

"The house was beautifully updated, clean, and very comfortable for the four of us. The yard was fantastic, with a big seating area, a lovely view and big trees with the creek behind them. We loved our stay and will absolutely be back. A few amenities could have been improved upon but overall it was a great rental."

"Clean and quiet place. Great location. Overall 5 stars. It is a lower level walkout unit, so you can sometimes hear activity from upstairs. That said, it was a great place that we would recommend. Also, once in the unit it did not feel like a lower level at all."

- Mark

Host Response:

"Thank you for your detailed and positive review. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the location and amenities to be great. We understand that the occasional noise from the upstairs unit may have been a minor inconvenience, but we're pleased that it did not detract from your overall experience. Your recommendation is valuable, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future."

Well EquippedQuiet

"Perfect for our family of three. It's in a great location, just a few miles from downtown Minneapolis, in a quiet neighborhood with a bubbling creek running through the backyard.<br/>The apartment was thoughtfully furnished, with all new appliances and Samsung TVs. What made it truly exceptional were the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room that offered a serene view of the picturesque backyard.<br/>An added bonus is the patio, which has an outdoor dining table, grill, and lounge furniture. Here, you can truly enjoy the natural setting. We had my parents over for a wonderful luncheon.<br/>While the photos accurately represent the place, they don't fully capture its charm. It is something special."
