Fabulous stay, felt right at home. Comfortable beds. Kind and helpful just, close to downtown Mpls. Neighborhood felt safe and on-street parking was convenient. Would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

Glad you enjoyed your stay! Thanks for sharing that you felt safe in my neighborhood-- it's a wonderful area! Hope to see you again!
The space was great, very well appointed and the access to Downtown was exactly why we booked. Owner very responsive and made the process and stay awesome! If we stay in the area again we would defiantly book again!
This property was excellent! Great location for visiting multiple attractions & restaurants! The host was quick to respond and always pleasant! The house was clean and comfortable. I’d say it’s the perfect place for an adult get away!
Seriously, why would you stay anywhere else? It was perfect. Immaculate home in a great neighborhood. Our host was amazing, very friendly and accommodating. A lovely place to stay in Minneapolis.

Appreciate your comment on my neighborhood---you guys biked for 2 solid days around Mpls! Great guests---great review--thanks!
Jeff is very nice and his place is beautifully decorated. He recommended Modern Times for breakfast and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast there; the staff excellent as well. Jeff's property stands out in the neighborhood. Quiet, pleasant sitting porch, comfortable (but one a bit squeaky) beds.

So glad you enjoyed Modern Times Cafe (walking distance from Portland Place), I will be stopping in and picking up a menu for future guests. Your stay/review is much appreciated.
The property is as described, very tasteful, clean and well equipped. If you are looking for a full kitchen this is not the place for you, but it has most things a guest might want including a coffee maker, microwave, a mini fridge and plates and utensils. The check in and out was easy and Jeff responded to my questions very quickly. We would stay again.

Great guests-gladly have you back. Thanks for the "endorsement" as stated in my VRBO description there is no kitchen. Great place for a private, quiet get-a-way.
We really enjoyed our stay here. We were out and about a lot, but when we were at the home it was so comfortable and beautiful. Very clean and welcoming. Can't say enough good things!

Thank you---you were great guests, hope to have you back!
This residence was incredibly clean and comfortable. Jeff was very responsive each time we made contact with him. It was the perfect distance for convenient uber rides to event areas. I would definitely stay here again.
Location is great- close to airport, downtown and a quick drive to St. Paul. Jeff (owner) is so kind and very informative about the city. Sitting on the porch in the evening and enjoying the beautiful yard is a must do. The house is great for sleeping- quiet and dark bedrooms. Cheers!

You 2 were great guests, glad you enjoyed the porch. Location is key for easy access to both cities--appreciate your review.
What a beautiful place! It was beautiful and peaceful and so comfortable. Everything from the towels to the bedding to the rugs underfoot was just first class. There was beautiful leaded glass and lamps and a really comfortable king bed to stretch out on. We enjoyed the front porch, too, and were lucky enough to get the chance to sit there and watch a thunderstorm roll in. Wonderful place - would definitely stay again.
