We were in town for a concert and stayed 4 nights. The property is located close to the US Bank Stadium and getting on the metro train was very easy. Our dog loved the back yard. The property is old but the remodel looks fantastic.

Cute Duplex near Minnehaha Falls
Very nice property. Clean and very well maintained. Easy to get into the city. Some very nice considerations…coffee for the coffee pot, charcoal for the grill, a dog bowl, Minneapolis info, etc. Also a very nice space for our dog-backyard is fenced. Easy area to walk the dog. Nice to have a parking spot in the back. Would recommend a few more mugs, and kitchen items, but otherwise well supplied. Great response from host, Andrew. Great info and local recommendations given prior to visit. Will definitely stay again.

Comfy, clean home-away-from-home
This was our second stay at Andrew’s place. We moved a year ago to northern MN from the Cities but need to return for appointments, shopping, and visits to friends. We love the yard for our dog, the kitchen with all the basics, and the comfy couch and bed. We especially love that Minnehaha Falls—our fave Minneapolis hangout—is two blocks away. Very pleasant experience!

Great modern property
We stayed here for a long weekend while enjoying a baseball game. It was within walking distance to the tram so super easy to get to Target Field! Property was clean and the check in was easy, they even had treats for our dogs out when we got there!! Fenced in back yard so it was great for letting them out and play! Overall great place for us to stay and enjoy the weekend!

This duplex unit was perfect for us. Everything was sparkling clean and worked well, the furniture and bed were comfortable, and the new kitchen had all the essential cookware. Great location with groceries and Minnehaha Park a short walk away. And a back yard! We would love to stay here again on our next trip to the Twin Cities.

Lovely little place; great communication
This is a lovely, well-kept, clean little home as part of a side-by-side duplex. There were 3 of us: myself and my husband, and my 25 yo son with his dog. My son slept on the couch... not great as it was advertised as "sleeps 3," so we assumed the couch would convert. Sadly, it wasn't a pull-out, but we made do. (This is the sole reason for the 4 stars as opposed to 5.) The dog was happy! There is a well-kept fenced in yard, but be aware it is shared with the neighboring guests in the duplex (our neighbors had 2 dogs of their own, so we had to be courteous and aware). A nice, safe neighborhood for dog walks, and the Minnehaha Park is just a couple of blocks away. Long walks there were great! The place is small... clearly intended for a couple, but we were just fine and even had 2 guests on Christmas morning to open presents! The communication with Andrew was GREAT! He was attentive and exceedingly prompt when we had an issue. (The previous guests had apparently dropped a shot glass down the disposal, which rendered the sink pretty unusable. As it was Christmas, we told Andrew it was silly to pay a plumber... my husband and I worked to make the sink a bit usuable by removing a chunk of the broken shot glass, and improvised with paper plates/utensils. 😊) We'd definitely stay again!
