We had a wonderful stay that weekend with our family that included my wife, myself, three of our adult children, kids, and my wife’s parents. There was plenty of room for everybody and we love that it had a fully equipped kitchen. It’s an active neighborhood with many people walking, but still seemed quiet. The on street parking was perfect, as we pulled right up to the house and parked curbside during our stay. We really felt like we were staying in part of a community and it was great that we were only two or three blocks walking distance From a bakery, coffee shop, or grocery store. It was also nice to be able to walk three or four blocks to the lake! We had a wonderful weekend and would definitely stay here again! ##### Greg S.

We did not need to contact the host at all, because everything we needed was easily findable. The house has plenty of room for a family, as listed. Note it is a vertical house—4 stories, 3 staircases. Good handrails, easily traversed if stairs are not an issue. One bathroom is on the second floor and one in the basement—both generous rooms and the water pressure is excellent. Beach and walking paths at the end of the street and yummy restaurants 2-3 blocks away. We would absolutely stay there again. ##### Rebecca C.

Street parking. Had a guessing game with friends as to where the 2nd bathroom was (basement) and 3rd bedroom (3rd floor). Good amenities, pretty much everything you would need. No back yard, nice front porch with a glider and table. Bathrooms completely remodeled and nice. Floors are super squeaky. Nice overall. ##### Mary Lou A.

It is a lovely old house with great moldings and wood floors but all the right updates--nice kitchen brilliant bathrooms. The house has four levels: lower game room and bath with a wonderful walk-in shower, main with a spacious living room and dining room and a fully stocked kitchen, second with three bedrooms and another fully updated bath, and fourth with a large bedroom with two queen beds. Can't say enough good things about the hosts and their thoughtfulness for the needs of guests--warm throws for snuggling in the living room, plenty of towels and all kinds of supplies in the bathrooms, a kitchen stocked with everything you could possibly need. High recommend! ##### Deanna B.

We had a very nice stay! Felicity was very responsive. We had difficulty getting in when we arrived (ended up being an unknown internet outage in the area affecting the lock system). I contacted Felicity. She immediately responded and had a solution. She investigated the reason for the difficulty and had a work around. The rest of the stay was lovely! Our kids (teenagers) thought it was the coolest house ever! 😊. The area is very nice. It was very cold when we were there, but that did not stop us from walking to nearby coffee shops and restaurants. Even got a run in on a very nice path around the lake. Would highly recommend this house and hosts if needing a place to stay in Uptown, MN. ##### Cheryl J.

We enjoyed our stay. The house had just about anything you could possibly think of needing. I was impressed. I think an available baby gate for the top of the quite steep stairs heading to level two would be helpful for children and elderly with dementia(as in our case). I may just not have seen it in the description, but would be helpful in the bedroom description to show that three bedrooms were on the second floor and an attic type bedroom was located on the third floor. We traveled with 3 elderly family members and there were three flights of steep stairs, if you include basement and third level. It’s an older house, so very normal for time period, but would have been helpful to know about the staircases. There is no bathroom on the main level. The bathrooms are in lower level and level 2\. Both bathrooms were amazing! We really enjoyed using the basement shower! Spa-like! Host left the sweetest note welcoming us to her home. What a lovely touch. Would not hesitate to stay here again with my family. I may choose somewhere else to stay if my elderly parents and in-laws join us next visit simply because of the stairs. I suppose there is a reason elderly folk enjoy purchasing ranches in retirement. Thanks Felicity! ##### Kristen S.

Location was good and convenient for things we wanted to do. We had very good assistance and communication with Felicity. The following comments have no reflection on the property we stayed at. We were simply victims of bad timing to make our trip to this neighborhood. The main street where businesses and local restaurants are located (Hennepin Ave) was closed off and completely torn up and under reconstruction. Totally uninviting to explore. Lake Bke Maka Ska. within short walking distance. had signs posted prohibiting swimming due to high E-Coli counts. The Several miles of bike and hiking paths around the lakes and several play areas were enjoyable. The neighbor across the street from our house had their car vandalized and window broken out in the middle of the afternoon on our first full day in the neighborhood. Made us question the safety of the neighborhood. Some neighbors assured us that it was a safe area even though we so no presence of police during our entire time in the Uptown area of Minneapolis. This was the reason for our lower rating for location and neighborhood. These concerns will be gone at some point in time in the future. We did engage in many enjoyable activities outside the neighborhood, so don't let our moment in time prevent you from visiting Minneapolis. ##### Rick G.

Positives: In a great location. The house was very clean Beds were quite comfortable (although they were made up for summer with no blankets and just a thin quilt- we asked owner about it and she directed us to a closet in the attic with duvets, but no duvet covers. We made up the beds with the duvets and some extra throws we found in the house since it was 8 degrees at night and 20 during the day.) The kitchen was well- stocked with most everything we needed for our 9 night stay. The heater and washer and dryer worked fine There was a lovely front porch that would be great in the warmer months. Showers were fine Negatives: I did not realize (and this is my fault for not reading the description carefully enough) that the house has 4 levels I also didn’t realize that there was no bathroom on the main level. This was not ideal with so many people in the house. No one loved having to go up or down stairs to use the facilities. The stairs were very steep (especially to the attic bedroom) and were not carpeted. The house is over 100 years old and, while updated in some ways, it isn’t a very comfortable place for a big group. Even though it sleeps 10, the living area is quite small for everyone to hang out together. The kitchen is extremely small. For our use, we did not think it was worth the rate since we couldn’t host. ##### rob c.

She was also very timely in her responses to my questions. The house was perfect for what we needed, plenty of beds and a great dining room table that we spent lots of time at. The location is perfect too, so close to the Lake and Hennepin area. We would definitely rent again! ##### Jodene M.
