About this property

Portland Place--Victorian Getaway

Beautiful turn of the century Victorian home (built 1900) offering private/cozy & quiet bedrooms on the second floor with main floor private entry.
Bedroom #1----- 12' x 14', king bed, includes a 12' x 14' sitting room and a large marble bath with walk in shower and double sink vanity.
Bedroom #2---- 12' x 10' , queen bed, with a private marble bath
Amazing woodwork with all the charm of an antique home but with needed modern amenities of updated baths (no kitchen). Our home is powered by Clean Energy---Renewable*Connect. LED lighting throughout. Enjoy your morning coffee (selection of Kuerig cups provided). Portland Place is located in the "Central" neighborhood in South Minneapolis a very urban and ethnically diverse neighborhood--less than 10 minutes to almost anything you want to do or see in the Mpls area. Private front foyer and staircase. The property in our separate living space is home of 2 cats, don't be surprised if they greet you on the porch (they do not have access to your second floor). Our home and neighborhood is GLBT friendly. This is a perfect option for a quiet relaxing stay--not a good fit for a party weekend. Don't hesitate to send an inquiry with any questions!

Terrific city location.

Highly recommended! Lovely, comfortable, clean space, in beautifully restored home in Midtown. Ideal for couples or families with older children. Great central location for attractions around the city. Close to many diverse dining options. We also enjoyed evenings sitting on the front porch. Would definitely choose again for our next visit.

Portland Victorian

Lovely home, and terrific host, but VRBO listing leads with “Entire home” as the front page heading. This is misleading. This is an upstairs apartment, 2 bedrooms and two baths, but has no kitchen, dining area, or laundry. It’s perfect for a short stay, clean and very nicely furnished.

Wonderful apartments in Minneapolis.

You simply cannot do better than Jeff and his place in South Minneapolis, which is convenient to everything and which is quite beautiful and convenient. Jeff is easy to reach and quite solicitous. In short, I recommend him and his place most highly.

Fantastic host, great accommodations!

Jeff was a wonderful host, as he opened the doors up of his 1900s house to us over the weekend. He was very friendly and made himself available whenever we might need. The unit was fully stocked, with very comfortable beds and luxurious towels. We enjoyed flipping through photos and seeing the resonating progress of the house. We would definitely visit again the next time we are in the area!

Quick weekend stay

Our group had a wonderful time at this property. The rooms were clean and cozy and our host added lots of nice touches, such as coffee, chocolate and wine. Downtown was a short Uber ride away and our host was responsive to any questions or needs. The host’s residence is on the first floor, but there are no common areas. It was like staying at a private boutique hotel. Would stay again!
