Wonderful Stay
We really enjoyed our stay…it was in a great location (1 mins from a amazing park, 9 mins to Mall of America, 14 mins to airport) had the perfect layout for our family and planned gatherings and was seamless check in and out with the host. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor space and the downstairs TV area for the kids. We all had such a wonderful time and would absolutely stay here again.

Lovely Home In A Great Location
My family of seven loved this house. Walking distance to the park, post office, grocery and the local library, as well as an easy drive to several tourist spots made the location of this home ideal. The host was very responsive and great to work with. The bedrooms were comfortable and the jetted bathtub was a real treat after a long day at Mall of America. We highly recommend a stay.

Ideal Location and Accommodations
We had a perfect trip to Minneapolis! This cozy home is located in a safe neighborhood and is just 8 minutes away from the Mall of America and 15 minutes from the Target Center. With 4 bedrooms, our group of 8 people had plenty of space and comfortable beds to sleep in. The home was clean, updated, and the kitchen was well-equipped for meal preparation. We enjoyed the lightning-fast WiFi and the dedicated upstairs/downstairs TV rooms. The property manager, Steve, was fantastic, and the communication throughout our stay was perfect. We had an incredible time and would happily return in the future! Rent without hesitation.

Great spot
Two families visiting the twin cities for New years. The house was plenty big and had lots of great features for us. Kitchen was well stocked with lots of unexpected amenities. Plenty of room to spread out with the loft, basement, and main floor. The kitchen was our favorite room. The drive way was tricky for two large vehicles, we just parked in the street. Excellent communication and access to owner was really nice. Only 10 min drive to mask off America and Great Wolf, it was an easy drive too. 28th Street was close by and had some great places to eat from diners, dives, & drive ins. The hot water heater could be larger for 8 people, but the locations and cost house were great!

Nice place
Nice rental in south Mpls. A bit more attention to detail would be good. For example some light bulbs burned out. I recommend fixing things like that and keeping the rest as is. To be clear, my wife did ask for a few things before we got there and they were nicely addressed. So, we certainly felt like the communication was good.

Perfect for our Party!
We loved staying at this property during our time in MN. We flew from all over the country and this well-kept home was in a delightful neighborhood just 10 minutes from the airport. We walked to restaurants, the Minnehaha Falls, Nokomis Lake, etc. We enjoyed the back deck and other amenities. Steve Wright was very communicative and we appreciated his recommendations for entertainment. Would definitely stay here again!

Not so fast
The pictures of the property we're not what i saw and what my family experienced this property was not well kept and seemed to have flooding issues or rather moisture issues given that there were moisture sensors throughout the property the smell was horrible closet doors off the hinges, dirty drinking glasses the upstairs unit was very hot withva ceiling fan that did not operate, the instructions for the property were hand written you could not login to the wifi there were bugs crawling on the wall this was a 14th birthday celebration for my daughter and our second time using vrbo but not so sure after this visit the owner would probably benefit from having a cleaning crew as it seemed he does it himself this property definitely needs some improvement

Nice house, but bad communication from owner
The house was clean and nice. In a great neighborhood too. At checkout the owner said we could leave anytime that day and just text when we leave. While we were at breakfast, I got a text saying he would be there in like an hour and we need to be out. We rushed through breakfast and back to the house to pack. I texted back that was not what he had told me only the day earlier, and he did a 180 again and said it was fine to stay. That was nice but we still felt uncomfortable staying a moment longer and left asap. Then I continued to get text messages for a week after we left asking where things were like the remote control (which we never used). Hosts need to learn customer service.
