Graduation Weekend
The perfect spot for our family coming from different cities for our son's graduation from the U. Clean, comfortable space - well-equipped kitchen met ALL of our needs for a long weekend celebrating. 2 bathrooms and plenty of comfy beds worked well for five adults, with room for more. Fantastic location adjacent to campus. Would recommend.

Wonderful property and host!
We were a group of seven -- two families -- coming to the Twin Cities for a college visit for two high-schoolers and wanted to stay close to campus. Our stay was absolutely perfect! Emily is a wonderful host and highly communicative, and she sent us a long list of things to do and restaurants to try. The space was perfect for our families, too, and the bonus on Saturday night was watching a few baseball players take BP from our balcony.
When we're back in the Twin Cities, we absolutely will be coming to stay with Emily again.
Thank you!

Amazing location, great stay!
From start to finish, this rental was great. Emily was so communicative, offered suggestions for places nearby and made the check in process seamless. The property was secure, clean, quiet and the unit itself was great. Perfect location for walkimg distance to the college stadium. Evem watcjed some summer practices from the balcony. If in Minneapolis again in the summer, definitely would stay here again. Only regret, is we never made it up to the rooftop patio!!

Great host
Stayed with wife, son and his family (wife, 6 yr old, 3 yr old and 9 month old). The host was beyond expectations accommodating and responsive. The property was clean, had all of the kitchen needs (high quality too), bathrooms were well stocked with good products and extra needed products were available. I didn't know what to expect, but far exceeded my wishes. My only concern was it was listed as handicap excessible (which it was) except the one toilet was too low. Also, parking is limited for others to come and visit. Great location if the guests are in town for sporting events at the U of Minnesota.

Graduation Weekend 2021
A few families came to commemorate our daughter's graduation from Univ of MN...the commencement ceremonies were virtual, so it was very important for us to stream on TV. This property was PERFECT for this - exceeded our expectations! Emily (host/owner) went above and beyond to ensure everything met our needs! Highly recommend this property !!
