Visiting family

We enjoyed the spacious beauty of the place. Very comfortable beds and easy parking. A few things were not working like some televisions, lamps, the entry keypad, and the icemaker which were little frustrations. Overall, we enjoyed our time.

Good, just missing a couple of items

Overall the place is great! Very clean and very comfortable. Only some slight hiccups at the location. One was there was no corkscrew to be found, but no worries we just went out and bought one and left it at the property. The second was the coffee maker didn’t work. Again it was an easy fix since there a two great coffee places a block away

Beautiful home away from home

Beautiful property and furnishings with everything you need for a comfy stay. Second floor bedroom suite is a luxurious hideaway. Great location near restaurants and coffee. Wonderful host! We were greeted with a bottle of wine and nice note. Lance answered all our questions immediately and let us have a late check out. Can't wait to go back!

Great house, great location!

This house was just as pictured. It was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay for a week. It was centrally located - nothing too far away. Great restaurants and coffee shops that we could walk to.

Excellent

The house was very clean, well kept. With all the amenities. Several restaurants within walking distance. We had most of our business in St Paul, and it was a maximum of 20 minute drive. The owner answered emails promptly and we had his phone number to reach him, but it wasn't necessary. This is a second story duplex, and the main bedroom suite (which is beautiful!) is at a "third" level- so if you have difficulties going up steps, this may cause a problem-though there is a king size bedroom in the main floor. Overall I highly recommend this place, and I would rent it again if I return to the St Paul/Minneapolis area.

Beautiful and comfortable home in a great location

This was our first trip to Minneapolis, so we originally picked this home based primarily on location and having King sized beds available. Once we arrived, we were blown away by this lovely and comfortable house. The decor was beautiful, with great natural light and comfortable furniture. We fell in love with the "sunroom" and used it as our reading room. The kitchen was well appointed, and the owner had even left us a bottle of wine. He also left a little basket in each bathroom with travel sized toiletries, which saved us since I forgot to pack our shampoo and conditioner. The upstairs bedroom was awesome. It had a nice couch and window seat for lounging and a desk. It also had great windows and skylights, but with curtains and shades that allowed it to get really dark if desired. Best of all, the bed was seriously comfortable. We actually slept in twice, which almost never happens anymore! The kids shared the downstairs bedroom and said their king bed was also very comfortable. As expected, the location was perfect...a block walk to great restaurants and bus stops, and a little longer walk to beautiful lakes. We took advantage daily, walking to Butter Bakery and Blackbird Cafe each morning. If we get the chance to return to Minneapolis, we will definitely be booking this home again.

Amazing apartment!

Two retired women stayed in this apartment to visit Minneapolis. It was by far one of the nicest units we have rented (and we have rented many vacation units). First it was impeccably clean and well furnished. The furnishings were comfortable, functional and tasteful. The rooms were of generous size. The air conditioning worked well (in high 80 degree days). The internet was very fast and reliable. The kitchen was more than adequate. There were enough spices and cooking supplies to meet most needs. There was not an item that we lacked in the unit. We particularly liked being on the second floor. It was very quiet. The second bedroom and loft on the third floor were particularly quiet and roomy. The location was ideal. We could easily get to theater, museums, hiking areas easily. There seemed to be plenty of reasonably priced parking lots of garages everywhere we went. If I were to return to Minneapolis, I would certainly rent here again. Lance was a great host. He let us know he was there and available if we needed anything.

Terrific Apartment and Location

We loved our week on Nicollet. The listing and photos are right on. The apartment was clean, very well maintained and wonderfully equipped with paper products, soaps, all the small things so often not available in rentals. We were happy that Lance happened to be there to introduce us to the place in person, but his booklet and instructions would have sufficed, as well. The kitchen is new and such a treat to use for breakfast and light entertaining. The sun room was our favorite spot all day long - so bright and warm on sunny, Fall days. Altho located on Nicollet, it is a quiet area and we felt very safe. We never had a problem parking in front. We loved the shops and restaurants just one or two blocks up the street. They could not have been more convenient. "Blackbird" was especially good for both brunch and dinner! The convenience store had a little of everything for light eating and even had "Aleve" in stock. The store's staff could not have been more friendly and inviting. We highly recommend the property and hope to return ourselves one day! Thank you Lance. Kathy and Alger

Best Urban getaway in town

What a pleasant surprise to arrive at this beautifully decorated and comfortable home we would be staying in for 5 nights. All the amenities of home and more provided by the owner with warm greetings and a bottle of wine. The location is wonderful as you can walk to so many amazing restaurants and coffee shops within blocks. It is also close to the freeway for quick access around town as well. There are also countless lakes and parks you can walk to and bike rentals as well. Lance the owner has also provided maps of the area and menus of the restaurants and bars nearby to help out. If your going to Minneapolis STAY HERE. You won't be disappointed .

Great stay in Minneapolis

Lance is the best host EVER! Property was spotless and all the amenities were there and some which were not expected (a basket full of often-left-at-home grooming items in the bathroom for instance). Lance also provided a booklet with maps and personal reviews of neighborhood restaurants and attractions. Very thoughtful! He was in touch with us via e-mail from the time we arrived until our departure making sure our stay was enjoyable and comfortable. Would highly recommend.

Great stay at the Urban Retreat

My husband and I stayed at the Urban Retreat for a long weekend while visiting our kids and new granddaughter. Everything went smoothly and we were very comfortable. We made lots of food to take to the new parents, and the well-appointed kitchen was a delight to cook in. The location was great: My husband took a run every morning down to the lakes and we had lots of choices for dinner within walking distance. We will definitely stay here next time we visit.
