Nice location in the city

Good property that is centrally located to get around. Good accommodations. Only slight downfall is the backyard. Grass is basically all weeds, which is a hotbed for bugs and mosquitoes. You cant sut outaide and enjoy, but still the location is good.

Convenient, Clean & Cozy

We stayed for an extended period while we were in transition for housing and enjoy the convenience of the location, the cleanliness and coziness of the home and the opportunity to get to know a new part of town.Andrew was highly responsive, even letting us know about rules and regulations regarding snow so that our stay would be comfortable. We would definitely rent from Andrew again and encourage others to do the same.

Wisconsin to Minnesota

My partner and I stayed with our dog and couldn't have been happier with our stay! After realizing there is one door on the outside and two private doors beyond that we were able to settle in nicely! The fenced backyard was really convenient to let our dog out even in the rain/sleet we were getting! We will be back as it was the perfect distance to my sister and to the surrounding parks, shopping, and food! Thank you for being a great, communicative, friendly host!

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!
