When I first found this house on AirBnB, it seemed almost too good to be true. I was looking for a longer term rental in the Twin Cities close to downtown Mpls but with space for my family; we needed to be able to work from home and wanted a backyard for our kids.
The location of this house is absolutely amazing, the fun of being able to walk to coffee shops and bars but without the hassle of being in a super urban area. Everything was as perfect as it seemed online, but better. The backyard is the best, perfect for kids, working outside, having dinner, or a bonfire. The kitchen is a very close second of my favorite things about this house. It has everything you need to live (and if you don’t have something Linda offered to lend us what we needed). The decor of the house is thoughtfully put together. The house is the perfect escape and provides an excellent space to work from.
And the house is just the beginning. Linda is the most thoughtful and gracious host. She made this experience so much more than renting a property; imagine staying with family or friends (that you like and want to hangout with 😂 for weeks). The day we arrived, there was a super cute welcome basket of local food from the area. Linda is super responsive and incredibly helpful. In addition to Linda, her partner Pat was so helpful and amazing with our kids. He talked to them about the veggies growing in the garden and introduced them to Toot, the chicken (another amazing plus to the property). They both know so much about history about the area, and places to eat or visit while you are in town. They made us feel at home for the month we stayed here. It was truly an experience we will never forget!
