About this property

Fantastic duplex in the Historic District

We are glad to be back offering our bright, art deco era upper unit with great living area that overlooks other unique homes in a historic district. It is three easy blocks to the light rail and close to downtown Minneapolis, the University of Minnesota, trails, breweries and restaurants.

The duplex was built in 1925 and maintains its original art deco feel. The dark woodwork, door hardware, North and South side piano windows, winding staircase and hardwood flooring throughout the home are inviting and warm. The windows on three sides of the living room provide a fun "tree house" view of the lovely homes on our quiet street and make a great spot to relax or work in the afternoon sunshine. The deck off the second bedroom faces the back yard is the perfect place to spend a summer evening.

There are two bedrooms. Bedroom #1 contains one queen sized bed and ceiling fan. Bedroom #2 has two twin beds. Both rooms have dressers and closet space.

The spacious living room includes lots of comfortable seating, flat screen TV, DVD player and Netflix access. There are also a variety of games and books for guests to use.

The full kitchen is clean, updated and provides items needed to cook meals. It has a full sized refrigerator, oven, gas stove, microwave and dishwasher.

The bathroom is a typical size for the era and has a deep tub with a shower.

The dining room boasts a classic plate shelf and two large West facing windows that bring in the afternoon light. The large dining table can easily seat six.

MN prospect park

We loved the overall ambiance of the place. All of the windows made the light fantastic. The neighborhood is nice and quiet. It was within walking distance of many places. The walk to the light rail was easy. Kitchen was fully stocked. We really enjoyed out stay and would stay again when we are in the area.

Lovely wood floors and many windows

We had a great time staying at this charming apartment, with beautiful wood floors and 12-paned windows that brought in the light from outside. We arrived on the record heat day of 88 in April, and the owners were very responsive and quickly installed wall units that usually go up in May. The apartment was quite comfortable, with personal touches that made us feel very much at home. Thanks for having us.

Perfect rental

Pros: We greatly enjoyed staying at this property. It's located in a quiet and safe neighborhood with street parking in front of the house and easy access to the highways. Smooth check-in and check out with fast WiFi for work. Would definitely stay here again. Cons: The house only has window AC units which could be an issue for those preferring a very cool house or those having a hard time sleeping with background noise. This was not an issue for us and the window units did a good job at keeping the inside temperature at low 70s.

Great property for our weekend stay.

We were in town to do a college visit at the University of Minnesota. The property was an easy ten minute drive to the U and conveniently located off of I-94, which is why we picked this rental. Check-in was easy with abundant street parking available. The rental was very clean and looked even better in person than it does in the pictures. The two bedroom set-up was perfect for my husband and I and our two children for our two-night stay. It's located in a very quiet, residential area that felt very safe to us. The only downside is that we didn't really find any restaurants within walking distance of the unit. But other than that we really loved this rental and would definitely stay here again if we are in the area. One thing that I would mention is that although the unit sleeps 4 people and is advertised as such, there is an additional $15 charge per night for the third and fourth guests. Not a dealbreaker for us, but just something to keep in mind if you decide to reserve this property.

About the host

Hosted by Clark Woodward

Host profile image
Hello! We are long-time Twin Cities residents and love Minneapolis. We have explored our community with and without kids and love providing a space for guests to do the same.

We enjoy hosting and making new friends and look to provide a warm, inviting space for our guests.

Why they chose this property

"The duplex" (as we call it) has been in Elise's family for years. We have lived in both units of this building and fell in love with the unique and convenient area. We are thrilled to be part of a community that values the historical homes while it pursues some exciting sustainable development.

What makes this property unique

We think the "tree top" feel of this apartment and the view looking down the street at the other unique homes are wonderful

We are the perfect distance from the University of Minnesota and downtown Minneapolis and our location provides many great options for exploring the city.
