A grocery store and a couple of neighborhood restaurants are also within walking distance. Also, nice updates to the duplex!" - Paula and Joe

Very clean and comfortable stay! The king bed was cozy with plenty of extra bedding provided. Having a convenient laundry area in the basement was a plus. We appreciated the designated off-street parking and the easy walk to nearby businesses and restaurants. Super close to the Minihaha Falls. We could occasionally hear guests on the other side of the duplex, but honestly it was never enough to disturb us. Highly recommend The Howe Daily Kitchen & Bar for great burgers!

Our stay was fantastic! The place is so cute and it has a fenced in backyard, which was key for us as we travelled with our pups. The location is incredible, a half mile walk to the falls. Lots of local restaurants around, a grocery store, and a liquor store. Easy to catch the light rail/bus, less than a 10 minute walk. It’s a quiet neighborhood and there’s a parking space around back. Easy access to freeways to get in and out of Minneapolis, St. Paul, uptown, etc. Our host was so nice and communicative and wanted to ensure we had the best stay possible. We’ll definitely stay here again!

Nice location in the city

Good property that is centrally located to get around. Good accommodations. Only slight downfall is the backyard. Grass is basically all weeds, which is a hotbed for bugs and mosquitoes. You cant sut outaide and enjoy, but still the location is good.

We stayed for an extended period while we were in transition for housing and enjoy the convenience of the location, the cleanliness and coziness of the home and the opportunity to get to know a new part of town.Andrew was highly responsive, even letting us know about rules and regulations regarding snow so that our stay would be comfortable.

Walking distance from a liquor store, gas station, Walgreens, brewery and three-minute drive to Highland Village Center with many quaint bars and restaurants. Lakes Nokomis and Hiawatha are nearby where you can enjoy the beach, paths around the lakes and rent canoes/kayaks/stand up paddle boards at Wheel Fun Rentals.

At the end of the street is the bus stop and two blocks away is the Metro Transit light rail, so you could get along without a car. If you have a car, there's a private parking spot in the back.
