We enjoyed our stay, and I would stay here again. I loved walking down to the lake. Garage parking is a great bonus, and would be a super advantage in the winter months. Property is very clean. Host was easy to work with.

Spacious, clean, great location
Overall, this place is very nice. A few blocks to the lake in one direction and a few blocks to cafes and a great book store in another! Be sure to make your way to the lake, it’s a wonderful place to walk. And the surrounding neighborhoods have charming houses if you’re into that. The rooms are spacious with nightstands and mirrors, and a place to plug in your phone at night, which not all vacation homes have. We had trouble with the heat and the manager fixed it immediately, very responsive. Note that if anyone in your party has trouble with stairs, this unit is on the second floor and the stairs are very narrow and steep, which seems to be a sign of houses built in a certain age. A couple of improvements, which I shared with the manager: add a window cover on the bathroom window. Only the bottom half is covered, I felt very visible at night. And there are not blackout blinds in the bedroom, so if you require a dark room, be sure to bring your sleep mask. I was very glad that the checkout instructions were simple, to start the dishwasher and take out the trash. We had a very nice stay here and recommend it.

Experience Minnesota
We very much enjoyed our stay. The property was comfortable and met our needs. We very much enjoyed being so close to both Bde Maka Ska and Lake Harriet, most days we walked along the lake both in the morning and the evening. It was also very convenient to the bus making a trip to downtown Minneapolis easy. It was the perfect base for us to explore the Twin Cities and a bit of Minnesota.

Great unit in a great area
We really enjoyed our stay in South Uptown. The unit was perfect for our group of 4, tastefully updated. It’s in a great location near the lake but close enough to downtown. It was nice to be able to use the garage to park. Would definitely visit again.

Great location, responsive host
We loved our stay here. Property was very clean and had everything we needed as promised. There was a glitch with the door code when checking in, but the host responded to my message within minutes to rectify the situation. The location is perfect -- within walking distance of the lake, plus there are some convenience marts and restaurants within a several block radius. The garage is a great plus so you dont have to mess with street parking. We would definitely stay here again!

This was the perfect place for our family (3 adults) to spend the Thanksgiving week. The house was just as pictured: spacious, light and comfortably furnished. The location is perfect for walking around the lakes or to the many restaurants and coffeehouses nearby. weather did not permit us to make use of the patio and fire pit or bicycles but we hope to on a future visit.
