"This was our third stay and we plan to return again in the future. It is conveniently located within walking (or cycling in warmer weather) distance to wonderful trails that are nicely maintained during the winter months. A grocery store and a couple of neighborhood restaurants are also within walking distance. Also, nice updates to the duplex!" - Paula and Joe

Duplex
This apartment was a duplex , beautiful, very clean. Problem was the people who rented the otherside started banging on our door at 10 pm because they were confused and couldnt find the right door or code and kept hollering..open the door, open the door. Scared us to death.

Great Getaway
I had a solo retreat at this property and it was just perfect. So peaceful and simple yet with everything you would need for a great stay. Just two blocks away from all the paths at Minnehaha Falls. Check in and out was super easy and the host was a great communicator throughout. It is a duplex and you can hear a bit near the back entry (this was said in the description), but couldn't hear anyone from the other side throughout the house and even in the bedroom (which is off the back entry). It was a lovely place to stay!

Very close to the falls, food, pharmacy/ grocery store, not to mention the unit was SPOTLESS! And smelled good which is rare for a rental :) thanks again!

Great location
We were in town for a concert and stayed 4 nights. The property is located close to the US Bank Stadium and getting on the metro train was very easy. Our dog loved the back yard. The property is old but the remodel looks fantastic.

Relaxing getaway
My husband and I really enjoyed our relaxing stay at this property. It was decorated perfectly, comfortable bed and overall space. We enjoyed the proximity to Minnehaha Falls, restaurants, and a grocery store- all in walking distance. The property owner was very communicative and responsive. We enjoyed many suggestions around town by the property owner. 100% recommend.

Cute Duplex near Minnehaha Falls
Very nice property. Clean and very well maintained. Easy to get into the city. Some very nice considerations…coffee for the coffee pot, charcoal for the grill, a dog bowl, Minneapolis info, etc. Also a very nice space for our dog-backyard is fenced. Easy area to walk the dog. Nice to have a parking spot in the back. Would recommend a few more mugs, and kitchen items, but otherwise well supplied. Great response from host, Andrew. Great info and local recommendations given prior to visit. Will definitely stay again.

Comfy, clean home-away-from-home
This was our second stay at Andrew’s place. We moved a year ago to northern MN from the Cities but need to return for appointments, shopping, and visits to friends. We love the yard for our dog, the kitchen with all the basics, and the comfy couch and bed. We especially love that Minnehaha Falls—our fave Minneapolis hangout—is two blocks away. Very pleasant experience!

Great modern property
We stayed here for a long weekend while enjoying a baseball game. It was within walking distance to the tram so super easy to get to Target Field! Property was clean and the check in was easy, they even had treats for our dogs out when we got there!! Fenced in back yard so it was great for letting them out and play! Overall great place for us to stay and enjoy the weekend!
