Jenica and Tony’s place is home. It’s by far, the best Airbnb experience we’ve had in the US.
We were welcomed by jazz music playing on the radio when we first checked in. The house was impeccably cleaned, beautifully decorated, and ready to host us for an entire week.
All bedrooms are nice sized and beds are very comfortable. Bathrooms have shampoo, conditioner, and a new bar of body soap. Their kitchen is fully stocked with everything you possibly need to cook. Bonus points for great appliances ( including a gas stove + oven and a great exhaust fan). Their dining table overlooks their backyard and one of the reasons why we booked this Airbnb. The chickens! Lisa, Fern, Maple, Percy, Jewel and Franny were amazing at providing us daily with beautiful fresh eggs! Both of us and our dogs loved eating them. If you are interested in getting a chicken coop, Jenica and her daughter Fiona offered us a class on all things related to chickens! Mind you, they lay around 3-4 eggs a day. I believe the number changes based on time of year.
This house has such a home feeling to it, we always spent our time on the main floor. The living room has one very comfortable sofa and three chairs. We either played jazz or classical music, giving us the perfect atmosphere to just enjoy a book and relax. But if you want to watch a movie or a tv show, the basement has a huge sectional and a tv.
We loved hearing from Jenica that this was the house where they started their family. You definitely feel this house was loved.
We don’t have immediate plans to return to Minneapolis. But when we do, I hope this house is still available to book.
Jenica, thank you for being extremely responsive, for creating such a great place and sharing it with us, and for being dog friendly. We all had the best time!
