Great place for our family trip! Clean, comfortable, and in a nice neighborhood. Super convenient location — about 15 minutes from downtown and 10–12 minutes from the Mall of America. Plenty of space to relax and the beds were comfortable. The host was extremely responsive and accommodating. Everything we needed for our family of four. Would definitely stay again!

This house had things for my toddler like a pack-n-play and children's silverware which made packing much easier. We ended up not needing a high chair, but I'm sure the hosts would have provided one if I asked since it is listed in the amenities. The neighborhood was quiet and in a nice, convenient area for what we needed. We enjoyed being able to walk to a very good pizza place. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. I would definitely stay here again if we are ever back in the area.

Cozy Home

We enjoyed the house and it was perfect for our weekend getaway. There was an odor in the house and the stairs going up are very steep and 3 of us fell down the stairs. Other than that it was very cozy and comfortable.

Hi Melanie, I'm so sorry to hear about your fall — I truly hope you're doing okay. This is the first time we've had an incident like this, and I’m really sorry it happened. The stairs are similar in steepness to most houses in the neighborhood (except the very new houses), and we’ve made sure having handrails along all staris, stair lighting, and full carpet coverage. That said, we’ll definitely consider if there’s anything else we can do to prevent future accidents. I’m glad to hear the rest of your stay went well. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us!

The place was clean and met our needs. We mostly used it as a home base after our outings during the day. We had a little trouble setting up the pack-n-play initially and finding some of the linens. Host was able to assist us. Kitchen was stocked a little sparse. We struggled to prep meals for our group. Could use a few full sized cookie sheets and some more kitchen utensils.
