Quiet,clean,retro retreat!

This house was perfect for our family of 4. The house was spotless and updated. It was easy to find all the amenities within the home. The location is walking distance from River paths. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. The hosts were easy to communicate with. We felt at home and were very comfortable there. Would rent there again in a heartbeat when we travel back up to Minneapolis!

Satisfactory

The master bedroom had ample room with closet, dresser and king bed. Other two bedrooms lacked space for luggage. Bathroom was extremely small. Because of reviews, we expected to be closer to walking paths in parks and along the river. The yard and landscape needs work compared to the neighborhood. The back yard was not inviting. The inside design and coloring was nice. The owners were extremely helpful and always friendly and available. The supplies and equipment were adequate.

This house was wonderful for our family of four. Plenty of parking, and the layout of the house was very functional. The house was very clean and plenty of space to unpack (which isn’t always the case)! Very quiet, walkable neighborhood. The location is within walking distance of the river which makes for great outings. We would definitely return.

We traveled to St Paul for a college football game at Minnesota. Place was nicely located in a nice neighborhood only a couple of blocks from a pathway along the Mississippi. Paved trail has wonderful views. Beds were comfortable and the house was well-equipped. We comfortably had six of us there to enjoy a carry out dinner and hanging out after. Ample and easy parking.

This little retro home was perfect for our needs. It was close to a beautiful park where we walked our dog, close to several universities and so easy to get to.
