Great location in a cute neighborhood

Lots of great parks in the area, excellent location. Of note, there were 2 bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs which made our sleeping arrangements a little tricky but the owner was very helpful in trying to make it work. She also got a microwave for is which was very helpful. There is a cat that comes with the house but she is pretty friendly.

Beautiful home, lovely neighborhood, friendly cat

My small family had a delightful stay in this lovely home. The house is both beautiful and comfortable, and had everything that we wanted for a pleasant stay. (Note that there is no microwave or coffee grinder, though the owners offered to procure one for us if needed.) This is the owners' primary residence, but they carefully cleared out bathrooms and bureaus for our use. Our son was especially charmed by Gina the (indoor/outdoor) cat, who is extremely friendly.

The perfect South Minneapolis home.

We stayed in this house with our 2 kids and had a nearly perfect stay. It's a wonderful home, just the kind of place we'd choose if we lived there permanently. Thanks so much for having us! Suggestion: Borrow or buy a microwave for guests. We had to borrow one from a friend (necessary for heating up a lot of kids' foods simply).
