This place had the best kitchen I've ever seen in a rental-love the strong gas stove! Bathroom had lots of little travel sized toiletries, but of course this was the very rare trip when we didn't forget to pack anything we needed lol. Comfy couches and beds.- Katherine A , Posted: 03/13/2018
The house we rented during our one week stay was exactly as advertised. It was very comfortable and had plenty of room for 3 adults. Upon our arrival, there was a bottle of wine and a greeting card welcoming us to the house. It was easy to settle in to the house with its many convenience items. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cooking pots and pans making it easy to cook your meals. There was a very complete basket of toiletry items available to use if you forgot to bring something that you needed. It was an extremely nice touch. There was cable TV available in both bedrooms and in the living room. Most importantly, Lance was a great host. Upon arrival and throughout our stay, he made contact through the email to ensure your well being and if there was anything that we needed to make our stay comfortable. I would highly recommend staying with Minnestay. I will rent again from Minnestay on any return trip to Minneapolis.- Steve , Posted: 02/07/2018
Place is amazing! Hardwood floors, beautiful windows, front porch, washer and dryer at your convenience, modern kitchen, memory foam mattresses, beautiful decor and right near everything! We will be back! Thanks Lance!- Sue W , Posted: 02/22/2018
Good location....several good eateries nearby and downtown is a short drive. Lance was very helpful and his "local guide" book he personally assembled is very useful. We would stay here again.- David O , Posted: 09/28/2016
The finest! Another lovely stay! The downstairs unit was perfect for us and our dog Max. Thanks for the wine that was waiting for us! Class. Pure class.- Patricia M , Posted: 03/17/2016
We stayed here in between moving out of one house and into another. The home is absolutely charming and was very comfortable. Great kitchen, ample furniture and amazing beds (this is a must for a 5 Star review for me!). Lance, the owner, was so responsive and attentive during our stay. The home is located close to many restaurants and downtown Minneapolis. I will definitely stay here again if I am in town and I highly recommend this property.- Colleen P , Posted: 04/04/2018
We will definitely stay here again. Beautiful and comfortable accommodations. Well stocked kitchen and bathroom..shampoo, conditioner, hair dryers. On busy Nicolet Avenue however home is set back so far and it was very quiet. Loved the front sunroom. Spent a lot of time there reading, etc. Fantastic place.- Amy J , Posted: 10/13/2017
Easy, low stress place to stay in well-above average accommodations. Great bed! Parking. Easy access to freeway.- Liz , Posted: 09/19/2018
Thanks for a great stay! Beautiful place and we enjoyed the central location. Very thoughtful to leave a bottle of wine to welcome us to the apartment. We had absolutely everything we needed. Would stay again!- Katelynn , Posted: 06/23/2018
Nice place and great location.- Kirsten , Posted: 09/13/2018
Great location and value. This house was very comfortable and accommodating with some very nice touches. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back when we visit our daughter at UMN.- Derek , Posted: 10/27/2018
I have stayed at this VRBO a number of times, and it is always the best stay ever! It is clean, comfortable, so close to restaurants, and minutes from the highways to get to other locations. The owner, Lance, is so responsive, and it's just a joy to spend a weekend here. Highly, highly recommended!!- Trudy L , Posted: 09/08/2017
Great place to stay. We really enjoyed our stay at Uptown Urban Living I. The condo was immaculate and the kitchen well stocked with quality appliances and cooking utensils. There is plenty of comfortable sitting for all and the beds were great. The owner also provided all kinds of supplies that I never expected. He provided a wealth of information on restaurants and shops in the area. The only reason I did not give this an "excellent" was that the backyard was under repair and we could not take advantage of that aspect of the property. Based on how well the grass was growing in, this should not be a problem for the next tenants. I will certainly consider staying here for my next extended stay in Minneapolis.- Cheri T , Posted: 05/11/2016
We loved staying here... very clean, beds super comfy and surrounded by great restaurants!! We will return the next time we are in the cities!!- CK , Posted: 07/02/2017
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this great unit in Minneapolis. The owner, Lance, was extremely accommodating and went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. I've stayed in many VRBOs but this was the most attentive service I've ever received. Bed was comfy and the unit is spacious and clean. Close to all the twin cities have to offer. Would definitely stay here again!- Jennifer F , Posted: 09/22/2017
Wonderful rental!! This lovely duplex made us feel like we were staying at a friend's home. Lance was very communicative and attentive despite traveling himself during our trip, we had a lovely bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival and he was reachable when we had a question during our stay. Very nice furniture, well stocked kitchen utensils, clean and bright. The beds and TVS are better than we have at home, frankly. Spending the mornings with tea on the front sunroom was lovely. Great restaurants within walking get distance, we went to Butter nearly every morning. Great location, 15 minutes to airport, mall of America, easy access to downtown minneapolis and Como Park. We'd consider returning to Minneapolis if only to stay here again! Thanks Lance!- Mel H , Posted: 06/19/2016
Lance was great at getting back to us quickly. The space was very clean and well maintained. Will stay here again!- Jon , Posted: 09/21/2018
This is our second stay here and it won’t be the last. Love the location and the comfortable spaces. Very clean and has all of the amenities you need. So very comfortable king bed...love it.- Amy J , Posted: 11/23/2018
Very clean. Close to many local eateries. Nice space. Loved the sun porch!- Cathy C , Posted: 10/01/2017
Place was as advertised. Beds were comfortable. Place was clean and Lance had everything setup so our stay went smoothly. Thanks for everything!- Kay , Posted: 04/29/2018
Enjoyed our stay. The kitchen was well equipped. Beds were nice. Good location. Old house but you really didn't notice unless the neighbors upstairs were walking around hard on the floor/ceiling.- Chris S , Posted: 11/08/2018
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and didn't want to leave. The location is very convenient and Lance is a gracious host. We'd definitely book this property again!- Noel C , Posted: 09/09/2017
Lovely, comfortable and cozy. We really enjoyed our stay at this condo. It had everything we could've needed or wanted and the owner was very responsive. The condo itself was so comfortable and perfect for our family of 4 (including 2 kids). We particularly enjoyed the sunroom especially since it was a bit cold when we visited. The location was fantastic. We would definitely stay here again and definitely recommend to friends traveling to the Twin Cities. Thank you so much, Lance!- Kelly S , Posted: 04/19/2016
This place was fabulous! We travel with our two small dogs and the property was fantastic. The fenced backyard made for a very comfortable stay. We really enjoyed being able to have a movie night and cook a meal here. The location is amazing too! I highly recommend Hola and the mercado, both on Nicolette street. Lance, the property owner was very good at responding to messages and checking to ensure our stay was enjoyable.- Jade Blacksher , Posted: 10/02/2017
Lance's place is very cozy with a lovely sunroom that's fun to have tea or coffee and read. The kitchen was well stocked, although we didn't cook. The beds were very comfortable. This is located very near some good breakfast eateries and several good evening restaurants. We also rented bikes from Lance, which was really fun to ride around the lakes. Lance was excellent to work with, helping to adjust dates when our travel plans changed and allowing a late checkout so we could shower after biking. He also was very supportive of any potential issues-which we had none. We enjoyed the complimentary wine left for us also. We plan to return since we will visit MN at least once a year.- Lee H , Posted: 10/15/2016
We were very pleased with our stay. Lance is terrific, great place, great neighborhood Lance is great to work with---professional, hospitable, helpful, and accomodating. The apartment was just as advertised and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. And the neighborhood is great as well---easy access to bike lanes, the lakes, the highway and loads of restaurants. I'd definitely stay with Lance again on a future trip to Minneapolis. Thxs again Lance!- Jon S , Posted: 07/19/2016
We really enjoyed our stay. The flat was very clean and well appointed, lots of room to stretch out. Lance, the host, was very responsive and attentive to questions, often within minutes. Definitely recommend if in the Minneapolis area. Another plus, lots of shops and restaurants close by as well as access to I35W, great location in the city. Tom and Donna- Tom M , Posted: 05/01/2017
A really fantastic place. Clean, charming, well appointed and equipped. Perfect location. Lance's tips on where to eat and what to do --very helpful and hospitable. Definitely would come back.- James P , Posted: 10/11/2016
Me, my husband and our two daughters visit Minneapolis every summer and usually stay with a relative, so this was the first time we sprung for our own place and I'm so glad we did. When we arrived there was a bottle of wine and glasses waiting for us. Nice touch. A few additional highlights: * Good, central location (tho technically not in Uptown as my husband was quick to point out) * Short walk to restaurants and shops * Nice interior spaces, comfortable / huge flat backyard with shade sails * TVs in every room—perfect when you want the kids and adults to be able to enjoy their own separate spaces * Tons of street parking * Washer and dryer * Kitchen with everything you need to cook and entertain * Lance is very quick to respond, he never left me hanging when I emailed a question We stayed for a week and there was one day that we literally did not leave the house. We had visitors coming and going all day and it was just a great place to gather and hang out. Pretty sure we won't be staying with relatives... ever again- Alison H. , Posted: 08/11/2017
The best airbnb experience i have ever had so far.- Yeon Su , Posted: 11/23/2018
The location was ideally located for the variety of places in the cities that we were visiting. The sun room was fantastic, even on a colder winter day. On street parking was always available right in front of the house. The kitchen had everything we needed! We hope to stay here next time we’re in town.Thanks Lance for everything!- Becky C , Posted: 04/10/2018
What a relief to have found Lance and his awesome property. We had reserved a different home for our travel and upon arriving found it dirty and with unsafe staircases. We quickly contacted Lance who was able to accommodate us on demand and we were in the new space in less than a hour. His home was beautiful, well-appointed and felt like Home. He left a delicious bottle of wine for us to enjoy and a basket of toiletries in case we had forgotten anything. When we needed an extra blanket for my aging mom, Lance was there in less than an hour with surplus. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Also, his kids are adorable if you have the luck to meet them.- Rebekah , Posted: 12/16/2017
My family and I looked at heading to Minneapolis for a NFL game. I was taken away by how expensive hotels were going to be, only because of the football game. So I looked down a different avenue, and that was vacation home rentals. Having never done this before, I cannot express how accommodating Lance was and made sure we had everything we could possibly think of. Upon arrival, we found the location to be ideal. There were several restaurants and shops within a block. It wasn't so close to downtown that you had to worry about all the hustle and bustle. Yet it was only a 5 minute drive away. We were still close to all the downtown activities. Now lets talk about the house itself. It was the most charming house, I fell in love with the historic character and original wood work. It was very spacious for the 4 of us. Plus it had a sunroom on the front that was used every morning! Lance had it fully furnished, making it ideal for any situation and group. It was incredibly clean and ready to go. Thank you Lance for allowing us the opportunity to stay in your rental home, I can't wait to come back to the Cities just to stay there again! I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the Minneapolis area.- Melanie , Posted: 12/05/2016
We had a great stay With Lance and his boys! Check-in was easy despite our flight delay. Throughout the trip Lance communicated well with us and even gave us suggestions about to where to visit in town. We received a book upon arrival outlining details about the home and city. This location was excellent! The home is spotless and exactly as pictured! I highly recommend you stay here next time you visit Minneapolis!- Lauren , Posted: 05/15/2018
Location, location, location! What a terrific vrbo rental! We are regular vrbo users and regular visitors to Minneapolis, and Lance's place ranks among the best we've experienced. It had everything we could possibly want, and if there had been something additional we needed, Lance would have seen to it in a flash. He was the most attentive host we have ever had. A highlight was the bed It was more comfortable than home! Everything else went beyond our needs, like the complimentary bottle of wine waiting for us. The location is simply perfect. It turned out that 2 of our very favourite Minneapolis restaurants were each a block away! And a 20 minute walk takes you to Lake Calhoun, which then has a wonderful 3 mile walking/running/biking trail around the lake. Next time we will take up Lance's offer to rent his bikes. Thanks Lance!- Nicole A , Posted: 06/03/2016
A wonderful home away from home I always love coming to Minneapolis. We spent a lovely week and a half in Uptown Minneapolis in this extremely comfortable and inviting house. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and gorgeous weather. The beds are great, the kitchen very well equipped (made a huge pot of soup for my lunches), we walked all over to really good restaurants and coffee shops. We were so pleased that the house had an enclosed back yard for our dog and was within walking distance to two dog parks, perfect way for both of us to get our exercise. My favorite room was the glassed in front room. Thoroughly enjoyed having the sun coming in, a cup of coffee and my book. It was a perfect house for us. We look forward to returning soon! Lance, thank you for being such a gracious host.- Judi G , Posted: 10/08/2016
Cool place. Spacious and lots of couch room.- Justin , Posted: 08/12/2018
Clean house and very well appointed. Great spot in the NE MPLS neighborhood for a small group visiting. Would recommend for others wanting to be close to downtown MPLS in a clean home. Lance was very helpful and responsive during our communication process.- Isaac , Posted: 08/17/2018
Location great, house perfect, and owner is wonderful. There is even the most complete kitchen is have ever rented and I rent a lot!- Barbara R , Posted: 07/09/2017
This place was great very clean check in was easy and the neighborhood was nice! I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice place for a weekend or week getaway!!!- Mercede , Posted: 10/13/2018
We so enjoyed the loving restoration/maintenance on this house. The character and charm of it has been so respected during it's modernization. Very comfortable and user friendly. The owner Lance is so responsive and helpful which also enhanced our stay. And then there is its location...so close to everything you want to see! Great breakfast within easy walking distance and then a great Pub for snacks, drinks on the patio and dinner also within walking distance! We enjoyed it so much we will book again!- Jill B , Posted: 06/04/2017
Highly recommend! Comfortable stay in a great area. Stayed here for baseball games at Target Field. Would stay again.- Carly B , Posted: 05/08/2017
Lovely and comfortable. Host was attentive and helpful.- Suzanne B , Posted: 06/25/2017
This was our first experience with renting a VRBO and we were not disappointed! The flat was clean and well-appointed and very comfortable! We were in town for a wedding and our only regret was that we did not get to take advantage of all of the amenities or visit the neighborhood more because we were gone (and it was raining!). Lance was very helpful in assisting us with the rental process as well as in answering any questions we had- before, during and after our stay. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived, which was greatly appreciated after driving through rush hour traffic on a Friday! We ordered pizza from Pizza Luce and would highly recommend and the breakfast at the Blackbird Cafe was terrific! We will definitely visit there again! Lance also had a guest book of other local establishments that we will check out on a return visit. This is a great property. It is as advertised in pictures- or better. We will definitely return on a future visit! Thanks Lance!- Tracy B , Posted: 05/25/2017
Great place, great deal- Drew , Posted: 09/28/2018
Beautiful, well-kept property with shaded backyard, great location, owners thought of everything! We stayed one night at Lance's property. We highly recommend for couples or small family. Owners thought of every last detail and any guest would be comfortable here (not handicap accessible) for a short or long stay. The home was immaculate and shined it was so clean. Comfortable main bedroom, spacious living space and lovely sun porch as well as shaded, private backyard. The location is perfect and close toswimable lakes, bikeways, public transportation, tasty restaurants (we loved Pats Tap for brunch) and downtown and uptown mpls. This property will not disappoint- Alana L , Posted: 08/03/2016
I loved this property. It is beautiful, in a great neighborhood. Lance was friendly and helpful.- Meagan B , Posted: 04/18/2017
Lance's place was great for a recent business/pleasure trip to Minneapolis. Lance was fantastic with communication and whenever I had a question, he was extremely prompt about responding. The property was clean, close to downtown and restaurants, and was a safe location. It was well-decorated, clean and very comfortable. The entire time I spent in Minneapolis was relaxing and I contribute that to such a wonderful property. From the comfortable beds, beautiful woodwork throughout, great kitchen and wonderful back yard, I couldn't have asked for more!. Thanks Minnestay, you are a #1 host with a #1 property!- Kathy R , Posted: 07/22/2017
Lance shares his beautiful home in a great location, and travelers who match his profile will be delighted by the place. Great restaurants down the street, easy to airport and downtown Minneapolis. Terrific spot.- Tom , Posted: 10/21/2018
I stayed at Lance's house for a week. I was in town for a conference, the location was great. Just minutes ways from downtown plus in a very nice neighborhood. The house is beautiful, the room is super comfortable, and it had all I needed: Clean towels, hairdryer, iron, tv, big closet. Lance was a great host, he helped me out with directions and the best options for me to transport to the conference daily. He was also very chilled and even offered me food, I felt very welcome in his house. His children are very well behave, so if the kids are there while you are visiting it will actually make your stay much more nicer. I totally reccomend staying at his place!- Layla , Posted: 11/22/2018
Perfect place to stay in Minneapolis! Our family absolutely loved this property! Lance made it so welcoming and has considered all possible needs of his renters. It was our first time in Minneapolis and found the Uptown area to be very convenient to everything. Great restaurants, pubs, and diners all within walking distance. The historic character, beautiful (yet comfortable) decor, and added amenities of the property were awesome. We definitely felt like it was a "home" away from home. Our son will be moving to the area this summer, so our stay at Lance's Uptown Urban Living at its Finest, while our first, will certainly not be our last!- Leslie W , Posted: 03/13/2016
Lance's place was great! It was in close proximity to the bus stop, a karaoke bar, and restaurants. I loved the luxurious king sized bed in the master. The basket of toiletries in the bathroom was also very much appreciated. The front and back porches were nice to relax on. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks!- Minnie , Posted: 09/24/2018
gorgeous house to get away too with great location.- Jo , Posted: 12/31/2018
This was the perfect place for us to stay with our 2 adult sons over a long Father's Day weekend. The location was near parks, coffee shops and great restaurants. It was also close enough that our Minneapolis family could bike there. Lance was great to work with throughout the whole process, and he made sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable. Even though there was always sufficient parking on the street, it was nice to have the garage to park in at night. Our 2 year old grandson now calls this "Jampa's House." We'd love to stay here again. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!- Denise P , Posted: 06/23/2017
Lance was a awesome! The neighborhood is in a great location the accommodations where very nice and he was a very gracious host.- Danny , Posted: 09/25/2018
Just do it! Never had been to Minneapolis before and booked this on VRBO. What a gem in a very cool area. We stayed in the upstairs 1 bedroom and Lance provided an air bed for a guest we had for 2. Nights of our stay. Clean and well decorated inside but best of all the location is walking distance to great cafes and restaurants also to parks and lakes and things to do. The owner also provides lots of local info with maps and menus that are very helpful. The owner, Lance is also very responsive if you need anything at all. We did good finding this place and recommend you do the same.- Becky W , Posted: 10/03/2016
Great flat, location and attentive host!We stayed at Lance's rental when moving our son to college from California to Minneapolis. It was the perfect place for us. The rental is exactly as advertised with lots of space, wonderful front sun room for reading/hanging out, extraordinary/comfortable beds in both rooms and just an all around pleasure. The bottle of wine and the plethora of unexpected amenities was a much appreciated treat! Lance was very helpful (promptly answering all of my questions, helping receive boxes, providing tools, etc.), which made the move much smoother for us. I will look forward to returning for future visits!- Nancy O , Posted: 09/04/2016
Our party included myself, my daughter and her husband, and their 16-month old baby. We stayed a total of 5 days and this unit was perfect for us. It was spacious, well stocked with everything you might need (including Pak and Play, high chair etc.), and was nicely maintained with modern appliances. The unit is in a safe neighborhood within walking distance of a great park with tennis courts, play equipment and an outdoor wading pool. We went to the park every day and also enjoyed the back yard eating area in the evening. We would definitely use this unit again when we return to the area.- Vivian V , Posted: 08/04/2017
This place was not only spot on to the description but honestly one of the best airbnb experiences ive had. Lance was a great communicator, the place is in a great location, coffee shops and restaurants down the block either side and 10 min from the airport. If you run too theres a beautiful park near it! Stay here as i will when i come back to MN- Blair , Posted: 09/11/2017
Great VRBO experience. The property is lovely, inside and out. All the small things that are easy to forget were there and also amenities that we didn't expect, but found really useful (highchair, travel baby bed, etc.) The Location was great for us, parents with small children. Groceries, coffee, cafe, restaurants, hardware, park with splash pad, all within walking distance. We rented bikes from Lance, which was very convenient. The bikes made accessing Lake Harriet and the associated bike paths, beaches, parks, and playgrounds quick and easy. Overall, we're really glad we stayed here and will very likely stay again when we visit the TC. This was our second VRBO experience, and the better of the two, though the first was not bad. Thanks, Lance, for helping make our time so enjoyable! We look forward to our next stay!- Britta A , Posted: 07/12/2016
Amazing Home in a Perfect Location! This beautiful home made our trip to Minneapolis such an enjoyable one. My daughter and I like to shop at the Mall of America on occasion and found this home to suit our needs extremely well. It is perfectly situated in the Uptown area with interstate access 2 blocks away. Ideally placed with a quick 10-minute drive to the "Mall" and also a 10-minute drive to downtown Minneapolis. The neighborhood is charming, safe, and quiet. There is a great local coffee-bakery shop 1/2 block from the house. I enjoyed my usual morning run all around the Uptown area and discovered many wonderful shops and homes. The home itself has been well cared for and the original woodwork, fixtures, flooring, and windows are in pristine condition. It is decorated perfectly and also with comfortable furniture. The updated kitchen has every convenience needed to prepare meals (although we didn't cook on this trip). The memory foam mattress in the master bedroom is extremely comfortable and felt like our Tempur-Pedic mattress at home. The front room was my favorite place to enjoy a cup of coffee every morning to watch the neighborhood awake and the sun come up. It is a delightful room where you could pass a great deal of time. My teenage daughter and her friend loved the abundance of DVD and TV channel choices after a long day of shopping. The outdoor sculpture park downtown by the art center was a wonderful way to soak in the spring sunshine and see the downtown skyline. We have rented homes from VRBO for the past 12 years both inside and outside the U.S. This home was exceptional! Most importantly, working with the owner was a pleasure. He was responsive to questions and very hospitable. I highly recommend this home.- Kathy E , Posted: 04/04/2016
Clean, cozy, quiet and very comfortable. The host sent messages to see if we needed anything, provided many bath items and a bottle of wine. We did not cook anything but the kitchen seemed to be stocked with all utensils/cookware needed. If you are bringing a vehicle double check regarding size of parking spot needed.- Mae , Posted: 03/18/2018
More than Excellent! VRBO needs to have a "> excellent" rating because 5 stars is simply not enough. Lance's property felt like home away from home. We have just moved to MN and in-between closing on our home and moving in, we stayed at this lovely location. It is situated in a great neighborhood close to good coffee and restaurants. We met a neighbor on the first day when we had a mishap (dropped the keys down the storm sewer). She came out and rescued us with a couple of coat hangers. What a wonderful welcome to Minneapolis. Lance has impeccable taste and is a lovely host. We greatly appreciated our stay and do recommend to anyone coming to Minneapolis. The only improvement I can even imagine would be to have bicycles available to rent or borrow. I would have used one to explore the area. This in no way detracts from our stay... it was great. Thanks again Lance for trusting with your rental.- Cynthia N , Posted: 06/04/2016
It was a very nice place, clean, with all of the amenities we needed. Lance even left us a bottle of wine to welcome us. The place is just as it is shown in the ad and checkin/checkout was a breeze.- David , Posted: 03/31/2018
Lance was an exceptional host. This place has everything you could possible need and is in walking distance from many great restaurants. The lakes aren't too far away, either, which make our stay even more enjoyable. Lance was incredibly responsive and make sure we were well taken care of. House is adorable, well maintained, and incredibly relaxing. We would definitely recommend this place!- Lindsey R , Posted: 08/29/2017
A great place to stay! This home was clean, bright, well equipped and is easy access to the lakes, downtown, uptown, nightlife, coffee shops and great restaurants. It was perfect for our needs and we would stay here again.- Anne-Marye H , Posted: 07/25/2015
Well appointed, welcoming and tastefully decorated craftsman-style property. This craftsman-style property was well appointed, welcoming and tastefully decorated. We were greeted with a bottle of wine, two wine glasses and a thoughtful thank you note from the owner, Lance, for renting his property. Attention to comfort of guests and quality were detailed throughout the condo. Both bedrooms had quality mattresses and flat screen TVs, and there was plenty of seating room and another flat screen TV in the family room - all the comforts of home. We successfully entertained my family with a large dinner, and they enjoyed the property as much as we did. My husband and I live in a 3000 sq. ft. home and decided that we could live happily in a 2-bedroom condominium like this rental. The owner, Lance, also compiled a wonderful reference book of local area shopping, restaurants and attractions. We only made it to one of the restaurants due to our limited time in the area, but would have liked to try out more, which were quite crowded when we drove by. Thank you, Lance, for a very enjoyable time in Minneapolis.- Susan A , Posted: 09/08/2016
We came to watch our grandson swim at U of M. The location was ideal. Lance is a very good host and did everything he could to help us......except keep the snow away He even came over to help me turn on the sound in the bedroom cuz I am a techie dinosaur. The beds were the best of any AIRBNB. Very comfortable. The living room was just a great place to hang. The items in the kitchen were first class and plentiful.- Elaine , Posted: 02/19/2018
so comfortable, clean and beautifully decorated. so close to so many things. we had breakfast at Butter, two mornings and loved everything! The home is more than perfect!- Cheryl K , Posted: 04/25/2017
Beautiful home, great location, gracious host. My son and I stayed here for almost a month and a half while he recuperated from surgery. It was like being home. Lance did everything he could to make us feel comfortable during our stay. His home is equipped with everything you could possibly need. We were minutes from the hospital, great shopping, lakes, airport and the heart of Minneapolis. We loved to sit in the sun room and watch the people go by, the bedrooms were very comfortable, the kitchen had everything you could need, and having on site laundry facilities was a big bonus. The back yard was fenced in for privacy, where we could enjoy the sunshine and birds. My dog loved running with the security of the fence. Thank you Lance, for renting your home to us, when we really needed to feel at home! We hope to stay again, during follow up visits!- Donna D , Posted: 11/28/2015
We spent a long weekend visiting our adult son in Minneapolis. Lance's home was the perfect place for our base camp. It proved convenient to a great Co-op, nice shops and fun restaurants. We enjoyed the wonderful old-world charm of beautiful woodwork which Lance has matched with a fantastic modern kitchen. We had everything we could desire. Lance was available if there was a problem but never intrusive. You cannot go wrong! We hope to stay again.- John H , Posted: 01/23/2018
A perfect place to stay on a work trip to Minneapolis. Would recommend to anyone!- Sami , Posted: 08/28/2018
This property is charming with comfortable beds, very clean and stocked with everything you need. Front sun room is a great spot to drink coffee. Icing on the cake - you can rent bikes from Lance and ride around the lakes. The location is great (very close to uptown) with lots of parking out front and walking distance from a few great restaurants. Don't hesitate to book! You will not be sorry. We're never staying in a hotel again. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, Lance. We can't wait to return.- Farrah G. , Posted: 08/13/2017
Loved it!- Jason H , Posted: 07/15/2018
Wonderful place in central location. We found it easy to navigate around town. Thank you for the bottle of welcome wine! We enjoyed it with a spread of food we picked up from Holy Land Deli. Home is as described - clean and comfortable.- Terri , Posted: 08/24/2018
Lance was a wonderful host. Very easy check in, nice guide book, very attentive. The place was spotless and had lots of extra touches - toiletries in the bathroom and a bottle of wine to make me feel welcome. The space itself had a lot of charm and original wood details. I especially liked the top floor bedroom - it felt like a whole separate studio apartment. I also really liked Lance's art work. There were lots of good restaurants just a block or two away. I loved Pat's Tap and Hola Arepa. Yummy! I would definitely stay here again.- Cat , Posted: 06/30/2017
Everything about this place was perfect. Lance was in constant communication from the get go, the location was perfect for what we needed to do and the accommodations were exceptionally comfortable.- Nathan , Posted: 03/17/2018
Great location, quiet neighborhood, cozy and comfortable space.- Dawn , Posted: 12/29/2018
The property was clean, well decorated, welcoming, exactly as advertised! We only stayed one night after attending a MN Twins game so we didn't get to take advantage of everything this location and home had to offer. My husband was able to find his morning coffee within walking distance and he was a happy camper Saturday morning. When we walked in we found a nice thank you note and a bottle of wine waiting for us. The home was decorated perfectly, had everything we needed as far as toiletries and extra supplies. Everything was well stocked, the air conditioning was perfect (and needed), sound systems and technology was great. I would highly recommend this home to family and friends. Thank you to the owner for being so organized and on the ball!- Mary D , Posted: 08/16/2016
