The apartment was ideal and exactly as described. It was very clean, and very comfortable with a lovely, well-equipped kitchen. We didn’t make use of the outside area, or the bicylces, but they seemed in great condition, and with the nearby bike paths around the lake that would be a nice option next time.

Stayed here with a friend. The place was very comfortable and represented accurately in the listing. We don’t do any cooking, but had everything we needed in the kitchen. It was nice to have a good supply of dishes, silverware and hangers, which is rare in a vacation rental. The neighborhood is really nice and we enjoyed walking around looking at the houses and gardens. We had a couple of issues during the stay, which our hosts were quick to address and make sure everything was ok for us. Would definitely stay here again!

Good Stay with Unfortunate Ending

The property is in a good location near Lake Bde Maka Ska and with easy access to trails and restaurants. However, the intersection is noisy. Fortunately, the bedrooms are in the back, so the noise isn't too bad at night. I worked during the day and the street noise bothered me then. The cemetery across the street allows visitors and I found that to be a tranquil place to walk. To access the unit, you must climb a set of stairs with a shorter tread than found in newer homes. That may cause difficulties for some people, especially while carrying a heavy suitcase. The property was very clean, comfortable, and as described. The host was very responsive. The messages I received from the host stated that check out was at 10:00 a.m. with no warning of consequences if not out by 9:59. I took most of my luggage to my car around 9:55. At 10:00 a.m., I tried to open the apartment door to retrieve my purse and a couple other packed bags I had left by the exit. I discovered that my door code became inactive at exactly 10:00 a.m., so I was locked out. Fortunately, I had my cell phone in my pocket and was able to message the host through the VRBO app and he quickly unlocked the door remotely. If I had not had my phone with me or if I had left a young child in the apartment so I could carry luggage down the stairs, this could have been a serious problem. I suggest checking with the host about this policy if you book the unit.

Spacious, clean, great location

Overall, this place is very nice. A few blocks to the lake in one direction and a few blocks to cafes and a great book store in another! Be sure to make your way to the lake, it’s a wonderful place to walk. And the surrounding neighborhoods have charming houses if you’re into that. The rooms are spacious with nightstands and mirrors, and a place to plug in your phone at night, which not all vacation homes have. We had trouble with the heat and the manager fixed it immediately, very responsive. Note that if anyone in your party has trouble with stairs, this unit is on the second floor and the stairs are very narrow and steep, which seems to be a sign of houses built in a certain age. A couple of improvements, which I shared with the manager: add a window cover on the bathroom window. Only the bottom half is covered, I felt very visible at night. And there are not blackout blinds in the bedroom, so if you require a dark room, be sure to bring your sleep mask. I was very glad that the checkout instructions were simple, to start the dishwasher and take out the trash. We had a very nice stay here and recommend it.

Experience Minnesota

We very much enjoyed our stay. The property was comfortable and met our needs. We very much enjoyed being so close to both Bde Maka Ska and Lake Harriet, most days we walked along the lake both in the morning and the evening. It was also very convenient to the bus making a trip to downtown Minneapolis easy. It was the perfect base for us to explore the Twin Cities and a bit of Minnesota.

We loved our stay here. Property was very clean and had everything we needed as promised. There was a glitch with the door code when checking in, but the host responded to my message within minutes to rectify the situation. The location is perfect -- within walking distance of the lake, plus there are some convenience marts and restaurants within a several block radius. The garage is a great plus so you dont have to mess with street parking. We would definitely stay here again!
