This is the best AirBnB experience I have ever had. William and Maria have thought of everything a guest might need and from the time we walked in the door, we felt like we were ‘home.’ This was especially meaningful to us as we used to live nearby before our move to another city nine years ago, and used to spend so much time at our beloved Lake Harriet and in the beautiful Linden Hills neighborhood. Although I return to Minneapolis multiple times a year, I/we typically stay with friends and family. With nearly a week on our hands and our son at camp, we decided to make part of our trip back this time a sort of ‘staycation’ in our favorite neighborhood, and rent a place of our own. As it turns out, Maria and William’s place made this our most wonderful trip back together we’ve ever had! Perfectly located across the street from the lake and an easy walk to all the shops and restaurants in Linden Hills, it is ideal. And the apartment itself is just as pictured—stylishly decorated, comfortable and bright and spotlessly clean. William and Maria have thought of every detail that might make your stay feel like you are truly at home: coffee in the cupboard, cream in the fridge, high quality linens and towels, laundry supplies and nice bath products, sunscreen, bug spray and umbrellas by the back entrance door...they haven’t missed a thing! They even had a picnic cooler and blanket tucked in the closet for those many trips to Lake Harriet that you’ll make to listen to a concert at the bandshell or take to the beach just a short walk away. Maria and William were also easy to reach via text and phone when we had questions and they were truly committed to making sure we had a lovely stay. We loved the apartment and fully intend to return. If you’re traveling with kids, this would be an ideal location as well. And don’t miss a trip to The Wild Rumpus (the world’s best children’s bookstore with an excellent section for grown ups, too) and to Sebastian Joe’s ice cream shop as well...both are quintessential Minneapolis at its best and an easy walk; your trip wouldn’t be complete without a stop at both of these spots. Thank you, Maria and William, for creating the perfect home away from home for your guests. We can’t wait to return!
