Super cute and clean!

The house was just as it looks in the photos. The beds were comfortable with nice sheet, the towels were soft and the kitchen had everything we needed. The street was quiet and there was plenty of space to park right outside the front door. It was the perfect place for a group of friends to stay.

Minneapolis Uptown Stay

Property was fantastic and in perfect condition. Split level house provided easy accommodations for three generations. The oldest generation had their own area on main level. Great location to all fun activities in Uptown. Highly recommend this property.
