We had a lovely stay in Uptown Minneapolis. Alison's place was comfortable and well-stocked. We visited during one of the hottest weeks of the year to help our son move apartments and the two split duct air conditioners were easily able to keep us cool in our downtime. We had a great stay and would rebook in a heartbeat.

Great find!

Comfortable, well-maintained accommodations on a residential street that's convenient to wonderful restaurants, shopping, cinema, and city lakes. My folks stayed here while visiting me and were very pleased with the apartment.

Easy walk to Lake Bde Maka Ska

The Uptown Mpls apartment was charming, cozy, and very clean with easy off-street parking. The apartment is in a walkable neighborhood close to the lake, and there are a coffee shops, restaurants, and a bookstore nearby. The host was communicative and helpful. She checked with us several times to see if there was anything we needed and provided lots of information about the area. We would definitely stay there again!

Ideal location and welcoming host

This home base for a visit back to the cities was ideal. Walking distance to Bde Make Ska, uptown shops and eateries, and more. Alison was available for the couple questions I had and I got to meet her and her sweet pup working in the garden.The apartment was fully outfitted with all I needed, including perfectly midwestern cheese and crackers for my arrival. The bed was super comfortable!I would happily book Alison's apartment again.

Great choice

It is hard to imagine a better location if you want both quiet/privacy and walking access to the most vibrant parts of town. Alison is a great host, and the unit was clean, light and spacious. I intend to stay here in any future trips to Minneapolis

Perfect stay

We really enjoyed our stay and did not want to leave! The place had all of the mentioned amenities plus more. We loved all of the books and games. The bed was super comfortable. It was nice to have designated parking and the neighborhood was very walkable to nearby restaurants and parks. Our host Alison was quick to respond to our questions, and was kind and friendly. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Retreat

Came for a yoga training at Devanadi and this was perfect! A warm, homey, beautiful place to absorb it all. A walk to the lake for sunset and then into town for dinner - a great way to end the day! Alison had great recommendations- I tried as many as I could “) A warm welcome - everything I could need and amazing places to visit - I loved it all!

Really Nice Twin Cities Lodging

Very nice lodging in a pretty residential neighborhood. Easy walk to the Lakes, and easy travel to all the attractions that the Twin Cities have to offer. We enjoyed walking around Lake Calhoun, and lounging on the shore, and a meal at the Tin Fish. There are many good restaurants in walking distance. The Owner went out of her way to make us welcome in several ways including fresh tomatoes from the garden! We hope to return in the future. So much more comfortable than a motel-hotel, and so convenient to the places we wanted to see.

Pleasant apartment for a week’s stay

This is a pleasant apartment for a week’s stay. The location was highly convenient with nearby access to a wonderful grocery store (Lunds), a great bakery (Black Walnut), wonderful restaurants, and glorious walks around neighboring lakes). We had our own off street parking spot. The hostess was very gracious. The apartment was well heated. It had sufficient room. We plan to check first to see if this apartment is available whenever we return to Minneapolis.

Lovely quiet spot perfect for families with young children near the heart of uptown

This apartment is everything it's advertised to be - not modern nor fancy but very functional. Know that there is not central air but a few AC units in the apartment for those hot & humid days so for light sleepers like me, the constant on and off of the AC was slightly disruptive. However, I cannot complain as Alison was more than accommodating for the needs for our toddler and surprised us with a signed copy of one of the children's books she wrote! She even printed my matron of honor speech at her home for us. We were very happy staying there, it was great to have our own kitchen and the kids toys and accoutrements were a huge bonus for us.

Great full time summer rental

My parents stayed for 3 months at Alison's property this summer. It was comfortable and in a good location in Uptown. Alison was a great host and even shared some of her garden vegetables with them. They will be staying again next summer.

cute quiet place

Quiet neighborhood, easy to walk to eats, shopping. owner was responsive to questions is txt-VRBO was more of a problem since they didn't recognize my acct.. This is an older home but still exudes warmth. Did not miss the TV,used the fast WiFi instead. I liked that different loose-leaf teas were provided. Liked the cheat sheets that were provided-clear & succinct and good starting point for explorations.

Cozy and quiet while still close to town

Getting into the apartment the first time was a little confusing but Alison's great instructions were incredibly valuable. Watch out for ice at the entry door in winter! Overall, strongly recommend staying in this charming apartment if you're coming to Minneapolis.

Family Visit

Great location for us to visit friends and family. Originally from the twin cities so we were familiar with the area. Nice comfortable older home just 5 blocks from an apartment we rented in the 80's. Very good information package and appreciated the welcome wine and crackers. We will rent here again next time we need a place to stay in Minneapolis while visiting from North Carolina.

Cosy vintage apartment

Alison’s charming apartment had everything I needed: super comfortable bed, full kitchen, bathroom with a tub and shower that had a nice “rain shower” head, and a perfect location in Uptown relatively close to my son’s house. Yes, it’s an older home — with a separate entrance in the back of her house — but it was sparkling clean. And she thoughtfully provided some yummy cheddar cheese and a bottle of wine and apple juice for me to enjoy. I’d be delighted to stay again! Wonderful experience. Thanks, Alison.

Enjoyed my stay

Allison was a very kind and hospitable owner. The apartment was very comfortable, clean, and homey and I had everything I needed to make my stay enjoyable. I was delighted to find myself in the space of a creative writer and enjoyed taking a look at some of her many books. The home was in a convenient location and within walking distance to restaurants and a market.

3 Stars - Winter Stay

positives: very responsive host, temperature control, dedicated parking, clean, full kitchen, Queen bed, nice appliances, plenty of towels/blankets/pillows, complimentary wine, cheese, & crackers and welcome card. Negatives: Exterior flood lights never came on. Hard to see to get key in door lock. The inside light located in hall outside of guest door was only on for first night. The dedicated parking area entrance and near the fence needed to be shoveled. The futon used as couch or for extra sleeping needs new mattress/cushion.

Very creative. Lots of books!

Alison was very attentive. We were staying during a remodeling project on our home, and working with contractors is not always predictable. As it turned out we needed to arrive a day early and stay a couple days longer. Alison was able to help us on both counts. Also the neighbors were quiet; barely knew they were there.
