### Review (5/5 stars)
"The home was lovely and the hosts were incredibly responsive! The area is nice and calm. Close to lakes and cute local restaurants/cafes. The one negative was that for one of the bedrooms, we found the sheets to be not very clean, but other than that our stay was fantastic!"

### Review (5/5 stars)
"This was the cutest Airbnb. We had the whole house (2 stories) which were essentially identical ie 2 kitchens, 2 living rooms, 2 bedrooms each floor, 1 bathroom each floor, etc. Home was clean, provided great amenities including laundry room for our 11 day stay, and everything you could need. Only a couple hiccups, large moths if you leave a door open (expected in warmer weather) and we also had a small toilet leak which was fixed immediately. The host was extremely responsive and we couldn’t be happier with our stay. 10 out of 10 stars, would absolutely stay there again!"

### Review (5/5 stars)
"This home is great for a family of 4 with older kids. Two separate floors gives the younger adults their privacy. We have stayed here a couple times, the home is always in great condition, and MinneStay is great host. The location is great in that it’s quiet and private, but you are close to the lakes for great walks, and uptown where you’ll find shopping and great food. We will always look to stay here when visiting Minneapolis!"
- Jaahred, 2025-11-30
Positive aspects: Manager Communication, Size, Great location
**Host Response:**

We’re delighted to hear the home continues to be a great fit for your family and that the layout provides the comfort and privacy everyone needs. It’s also wonderful to know you enjoy the quiet location while still being so close to the lakes, shops, and great food in Uptown.
We’re grateful for your kind words about MinneStay, and we look forward to welcoming you back whenever your travels bring you to Minneapolis!"

### Review (5/5 stars)
"This was the best Airbnb property we’ve ever stayed at. The house was clearly recently remodeled with an eye on the details. There are high-end finishes throughout: the kitchen cabinets have luxury pulls and easy-close glides, the bathrooms have premium fixtures, most the the light switches are on dimmers, the bedding is very comfortable, and even the washer/dryer set up is new. The house is on a quiet residential street, but still close to shopping and restaurants. The hosts were very responsive and helped us with the single issue we encountered."
- Jordan, 2025-01-01
Positive aspects: Manager Communication, Quiet, Design
**Host Response:**
"Thank you for such an amazing review! We’re thrilled to hear that you found the property to be the best Airbnb you’ve stayed at. It’s wonderful to know you appreciated the recent remodel, high-end finishes, and thoughtful details throughout the house. The quiet location, paired with its proximity to shopping and restaurants, is definitely a bonus. We’re glad we could assist you promptly with the one issue you encountered. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back anytime!"

### Review (5/5 stars)
"The home was perfect for a family of 4. It’s really two separate 2 BR apartments so the “kids” (20 & 22) had their own unit and my wife and I had ours. We will definitely look to rent this home again when we visit."

The house is a little old (creaky floors, and we killed a few spiders in our first hour there) but other that, no issues whatsoever!"
