Convenient, Clean & Cozy

We stayed for an extended period while we were in transition for housing and enjoy the convenience of the location, the cleanliness and coziness of the home and the opportunity to get to know a new part of town.Andrew was highly responsive, even letting us know about rules and regulations regarding snow so that our stay would be comfortable. We would definitely rent from Andrew again and encourage others to do the same.

Wisconsin to Minnesota

My partner and I stayed with our dog and couldn't have been happier with our stay! After realizing there is one door on the outside and two private doors beyond that we were able to settle in nicely! The fenced backyard was really convenient to let our dog out even in the rain/sleet we were getting! We will be back as it was the perfect distance to my sister and to the surrounding parks, shopping, and food! Thank you for being a great, communicative, friendly host!

Duplex

This apartment was a duplex , beautiful, very clean. Problem was the people who rented the otherside started banging on our door at 10 pm because they were confused and couldnt find the right door or code and kept hollering..open the door, open the door. Scared us to death.

Great Getaway

I had a solo retreat at this property and it was just perfect. So peaceful and simple yet with everything you would need for a great stay. Just two blocks away from all the paths at Minnehaha Falls. Check in and out was super easy and the host was a great communicator throughout. It is a duplex and you can hear a bit near the back entry (this was said in the description), but couldn't hear anyone from the other side throughout the house and even in the bedroom (which is off the back entry). It was a lovely place to stay!

We really loved the 3 nights we stayed at this spot~ having both loved and lived in Minneapolis we are pretty picky and our stay exceeded our expectations! Very close to the falls, food, pharmacy/ grocery store, not to mention the unit was SPOTLESS! And smelled good which is rare for a rental :) thanks again!

Cute Duplex near Minnehaha Falls

Very nice property. Clean and very well maintained. Easy to get into the city. Some very nice considerations…coffee for the coffee pot, charcoal for the grill, a dog bowl, Minneapolis info, etc. Also a very nice space for our dog-backyard is fenced. Easy area to walk the dog. Nice to have a parking spot in the back. Would recommend a few more mugs, and kitchen items, but otherwise well supplied. Great response from host, Andrew. Great info and local recommendations given prior to visit. Will definitely stay again.

Comfy, clean home-away-from-home

This was our second stay at Andrew’s place. We moved a year ago to northern MN from the Cities but need to return for appointments, shopping, and visits to friends. We love the yard for our dog, the kitchen with all the basics, and the comfy couch and bed. We especially love that Minnehaha Falls—our fave Minneapolis hangout—is two blocks away. Very pleasant experience!

We stayed here for a long weekend while enjoying a baseball game. It was within walking distance to the tram so super easy to get to Target Field! Property was clean and the check in was easy, they even had treats for our dogs out when we got there!! Fenced in back yard so it was great for letting them out and play! Overall great place for us to stay and enjoy the weekend!

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Fischer

Host profile image
I am a local realtor. I grew up in the Twin Cities and am ready to help with dinner/activity recommendations and any other general inquiries.

What makes this property unique

Fun activities include hiking/running trails at Minnehaha Park, a well-known seafood eatery and bar called Sea Salt, Long Fellow Gardens and an active dog park. The rental is two blocks from Metro Transit with quick access to MSP Airport, downtown, US Bank Stadium, Target Field and more. Ten minute Uber/Lyft from airport. Walking distance from a liquor store, gas station, Walgreens, brewery and three-minute drive to Highland Village Center with many quaint bars and restaurants. Lakes Nokomis and Hiawatha are nearby where you can enjoy the beach, paths around the lakes and rent canoes/kayaks/stand up paddle boards at Wheel Fun Rentals.

At the end of the street is the bus stop and two blocks away is the Metro Transit light rail, so you could get along without a car. If you have a car, there's a private parking spot in the back.
