Load the dishwasher
Gather used towels

Turn off the lights and lock the doors
Please just generally clean up after yourselves. If towels are wet, please hang them up or put them in the tub. I will do the beds, no need to strip them.
Many people leave items in the beds especially, so that is a good place to look!

Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.
Please take off your shoes and/or boots in the home at the doors.

This home is in a safe and quiet neighborhood. We appreciated all the "extras" from the host, including a well stocked kitchen, toiletries, cleaning supplies, and so much more. The fireplace in the living room was so nice! Our host was very communicative and flexible. A great stay!

This property truly felt like a home away from home, because of the guest-centered thoughtful touches in every room of the house.We were visiting our son at Macalester and liked that it was a walkable distance through pleasant neighborhoods. We also took advantage of Spyhouse Coffee for pastries (didn't need coffee as the house was well stocked); Due Focacceria for lunch; sushi at Sakana and we drove and picked up pizza at Punch on Summit.

About the host

Hosted by Petra

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

I really liked the opportunity to have a home that is convenient to both downtowns. The home was built in 1949 and has beautiful brickwork and lends itself to a Mid-Century Modern vibe which I love! I tried to find MCM furniture where I could.

What makes this property unique

I am very health conscious and so have tried to make this home as eco-friendly as I possible. The floors were redone in water-based poly. The paints were zero or low VOC. The mattresses are natural with no chemicals. The towels are organic cotton. I had the dirty electricity mitigated and there is an option to turn off the WiFi and use ethernet cables to access the internet. I use non-toxic cleaners and the soaps and washing machine powders are eco-friendly as well. If there is anything else you need please let me know!
