This area has plenty of amazing things to do: The unique restaurants, bars & breweries are endless for the foodies out there. Many venues are just a few minutes walk or a bike ride away.

Great location
This house perfectly fit our needs. We were 3 adults and 5 kids for a long weekend family visit. The bedroom set up worked well for our group and it was nice to have one bathroom upstairs and one bathroom downstairs. The dining table comfortably sat 8 but we stretched it to 10 for a dinner party and it worked. The basement was a great space for the kids and allowed us some separation of space when we wanted it. The location was ideal for us - Linden Hills is a cute neighborhood with excellent shops and restaurants just a few blocks away (including great coffee and pastries at shops just down the block). There's also a large park just across the street we felt comfortable sending the older kids to on their own. The location also works well for accessing other parts of Minneapolis: 15 minutes to the airport, 15 minutes to the Mall of America, 10-15 minutes to downtown sporting venues. Nothing felt too far away. Garage, driveway, and street parking were all very easy and convenient.

Clean and comfortable
Very well kept, clean and comfortable space for our family of four.
Although the property looks modest from the exterior and has no real usable outdoor space to speak of, the interior was exceptionally clean and had an extremely functional kitchen/dining area as well as two nice ‘relax’ areas - the living room and basement - that were spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed both the basketball game and the bike trainer, although both required new batteries which we purchased.
Beds were comfortable. All rooms (including basement rooms) were nice and warm once we adjusted the thermostat. Multiple smart TVs, puzzles games and books were available upstairs and downstairs that kept everyone busy.
This was our first time working with Minnestay and it was a good one - communication was excellent, the reservation portal worked very well, and we enjoyed the nice touches (coffee and snacks) on arrival. The unit was very well stocked with extra toiletries and towels, although the kitchen was missing a few items.
As others have stated, the neighborhood is very peaceful and walkable, with the Turtle Bread Company only a few blocks away.
We would stay here again.

Ideal property for Thanksgiving get together
This was the ideal property for our family to meet for Thanksgiving. The property was clean and had plenty of space for our family to spread out and enjoy our time with each other. Our grandkids appreciated the playground at the school across the street.

Vikings game weekend
We flew in for a quick weekend get away to see the Vikings game. Our SD family met us and the house easily slept our family of 9. We had space to spread out and relax. The kitchen dining was a great congregation area to visit. Kitchen was well stocked. House is clean. Location is spectacular. We took walks around the school and to the nearby lake. Lots of cute stores close by and very safe neighborhood.

Minneapolis vacation house
This is a lovely house with a lot of character. The master bedroom loft is a nice bonus. The 3 bathrooms are nicely updated and the kitchen is well stocked. There is a big table which fit 10 people at one point. It’s near a good playground and the local ice cream shop as well as a bunch of restaurants. So goo location. Would stay here again

Nice place to stay
Our family of 10 enjoyed staying here. There were great spaces to gather- around the kitchen table, the living room and downstairs family room. The shower on the main floor is awesome! The kitchen has just the basics- a complimentary gift of coffee made 2 pots and there was no salt. The bedroom and hallway floors are very creaky - middle of the night trips to the bathroom are no secret.
