The rooms were great and the house was perfect. The only issues we had were the parking in front of the house. On arrival, there was very little space in front.

Loved location…around the corner from our son and daughter-in-law. Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped for entertaining. We did have trouble with tv in living room. Trouble with figuring out how to use and when we thought we had it…no signal. Would have appreciated more info. Would have been a perfect 5 except for trouble with tv

Great stay!

Good location....several good eateries nearby and downtown is a short drive. Lance was very helpful and his "local guide" book he personally assembled is very useful. We would stay here again.

Mid week stay

Went to the cities to visit our daughters and found this great duplex to stay in. Beautifully decorated, very clean and welcoming lower level house was a huge hit for all of us to meet and enjoy our few days together.

The Best!

I have stayed at this VRBO a number of times, and it is always the best stay ever! It is clean, comfortable, so close to restaurants, and minutes from the highways to get to other locations. The owner, Lance, is so responsive, and it's just a joy to spend a weekend here. Highly, highly recommended!!

Great rental near lots of places to eat and drink

This place had the best kitchen I've ever seen in a rental-love the strong gas stove! Bathroom had lots of little travel sized toiletries, but of course this was the very rare trip when we didn't forget to pack anything we needed lol. Comfy couches and beds.

Great urban place to stay. Love it.

We will definitely stay here again. Beautiful and comfortable accommodations. Well stocked kitchen and bathroom..shampoo, conditioner, hair dryers. On busy Nicolet Avenue however home is set back so far and it was very quiet. Loved the front sunroom. Spent a lot of time there reading, etc. Fantastic place.

Beautiful woodwork

Very nice home just a bit hard to get a close parking place if you get back after 6 or 7 pm. I think they should put curtains on bedroom window so daylight doesn’t wake you in the mornings. But overall a very nice place quiet neighbors. Barely saw them. Enjoyed our stay and visit with family.

Great property!

Lance was an exceptional host. This place has everything you could possible need and is in walking distance from many great restaurants. The lakes aren't too far away, either, which make our stay even more enjoyable. Lance was incredibly responsive and make sure we were well taken care of. House is adorable, well maintained, and incredibly relaxing. We would definitely recommend this place!

Great Property, Excellent Host

We really enjoyed our stay. The flat was very clean and well appointed, lots of room to stretch out. Lance, the host, was very responsive and attentive to questions, often within minutes. Definitely recommend if in the Minneapolis area. Another plus, lots of shops and restaurants close by as well as access to I35W, great location in the city. Tom and Donna

Wonderful place, wonderful stay!

We've stayed at this VRBO a number of times, and it never disappoints. It's spacious, clean, close to major highways, and always comfortable to come "home" to. Lance is always available should any issues arrive, and we're always greeted with a bottle of wine as a welcome gift. We had a Sunday brunch with our kids and granddaughters, and the dining room was the perfect size. On top of it all, there's an great sunroom, perfect for relaxing and reading the morning newspaper or taking a nap. Wonderful stay, in all aspects!

Property was exactly as described and better!

This was our first stay here and Lance made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived! Thoughtful touches and needed items supplied. It felt like our second home! The kitchen,dining and living space are perfect - it allowed us to host a brunch easily and comfortably for our family in Minneapolis. Location is perfect-great restaurants within walking distance. It was nice that Lance provided detail and a map. We will be back and are already looking at availability to book our next stay.

Perfect place to stay in Minneapolis!

Our family absolutely loved this property! Lance made it so welcoming and has considered all possible needs of his renters. It was our first time in Minneapolis and found the Uptown area to be very convenient to everything. Great restaurants, pubs, and diners all within walking distance. The historic character, beautiful (yet comfortable) decor, and added amenities of the property were awesome. We definitely felt like it was a "home" away from home. Our son will be moving to the area this summer, so our stay at Lance's Uptown Urban Living at its Finest, while our first, will certainly not be our last!

Nice Stay

We were in town for vikings game and Lance's property was perfect for what we needed. Clean, cozy and quite. There is a tenant in the above unit but we hardly noticed. It is an older home but it had great character. Although it was late October, the weather was nice enough for us to enjoy some time in the sunroom area. Would rent again.
