We loved staying in this house with my senior parents and teenage daughter. So much value and room for the price, as compared to hotel prices for the same dates. Lovely neighborhood, very convenient to the Convention Center (less than a mile, we walked there for the event we were in town for several times). Perfect for multiple families, especially those preferring a common place to gather plus many secluded rooms if people need privacy or quiet time. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Hosts were very prompt in their responses. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for staying with us, we enjoyed hosting you all!
The house has a fun lay out to explore. There was tons of space. We all appreciated the cleanliness. Location was excellent! We did uber downtown but it is within walking distance. We would definitely stay here again!
The property is very large with lots of room for people to spread out. We had a large group and it never felt crowded. Lots of steps, but bedrooms and bathrooms on the main floor if steps were a problem. Location was very close to the wedding venue, which worked well.
This place is amazing for a friend get-together. I had folks in town from all over the country and beyond and everyone had a place to sleep! The layout of the house is really fun, too. Location was great for getting food delivered, walking to restaurants, etc. I'd love to come back!
This location is real nice being between Uptown and Downtown Minneapolis. There is more space than you’ll need and is a real fun place to hang. Getting in was easy and the two driveway parking spots were handy.

This house was perfect to host a three night birthday party for 14 adults from around the country. We could take advantage of the city and lakes as well as just stay in and play party games.

Getaway with friends
Very little communication with host. Bedrooms great but would like a larger tv area. Inside was nice and clean.
The location of the house was convenient for freeway access, it was close to downtown and was perfect for our group. The host was very responsive and helped out where needed. The place was nice, but, clean, and had everything we needed to feel at home.
This place is a very beautiful, large house that is in a great location. Naya was an exceptional host. Very quick and timely communication. I highly recommend this listing. You will NOT be disappointed.

Wen enjoyed hosting George and his colleagues! Thanks for staying with us!
Our whole group frequently commented on how lucky we were to have this rental. It easily fit our three intergenerational families. The kids enjoyed the lower level and the adults spread out on the top two levels. The kitchen was outfitted with all that we needed. We also loved the ease of walking to the local grocery store and LOVED the local bakery Black Walnut. Highly recommend staying here. We will be back again!

Great space close to downtown!
The house was perfect for myself and coworkers while in town for a convention downtown. Space was clean and everything was as described except for a lack of washer and dryer. No complaints otherwise.

We had a group of 12 friends gather here for a weekend together and we were very impressed with the property. It was large, clean, and well located for easy access to downtown. There was plenty of space for us to spread out and enough beds, couches, and futons for everyone to have a place to sleep. The host was communicative and quick to reply, and the check-in/check-out process was very easy. Great experience overall and I definitely recommend it if you have a larger group!

About the host
Your host
Hello! I’m Alana. I am a licensed real estate professional with a passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces. My husband and I are deeply involved in our local community—from officiating swim meets to supporting our daughter’s synchronized skating team. We understand that when you travel as a family or a large group, the details matter.
I love hosting because it allows me to combine my professional background in property management with my love for hospitality. My goal is to provide a seamless, high-end experience where you can focus on making memories while we handle the rest.
Why they chose this property
We chose this area because it offers the perfect intersection of city energy and neighborhood charm. Being so close to Downtown and the Stadium means you are never more than a few minutes away from world-class dining, professional sports, and concerts.
What I enjoy most is the 'walkability' to major attractions while still having a spacious, private home to return to at the end of the night. Whether you’re here for a big game, a business trip, or a family reunion, this location serves as the ultimate home base for exploring the best of the city.
What makes this property unique
As a property manager and real estate professional, I designed this home with 'group flow' in mind. With 5 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, you’ll never feel cramped, and the modern, upscale finishes provide a boutique hotel atmosphere with the privacy of a personal residence.
What truly sets us apart is the attention to detail: from the designer kitchen ready for a private chef to the intuitive layout that allows for both social gathering and quiet privacy. We take pride in maintaining a pristine environment and offering local insights that only a long-time resident can provide.
