Fantastic location, and great house. Very safe, blocks away from the lake, family, friendly location. House had everything we needed. Ben was super attentive to any questions we had. The house is adorable. The only downside is if stairs are an issue this is not the house for you.

The house was very well located for where we needed to be in Minneapolis. Nice neighborhood with good amenities nearby. The house was consistent with other houses in the neighborhood-- older homes with charm and a few eccentricities. Some of the stairs are steep and narrow if you have mobility issues. Not an issue for us, but might be for some visitors. All in all, a very nice stay.

The house is amazing, with all of the mod cons you could want and plenty of space to spread out and feel at home. The construction in the street out front was a bit of an inconvenience, but that's just temporary. Location was great, convenient to all parts of the Twin Cities. Host Ben was communicative and friendly but not intrusive. We had a wonderful stay!
