It was such a treat to call this place our home for a few days in Minneapolis.
We travelled down with our kids (aged 6 and 4) for a week in the Twin Cities. After 3 days at a waterpark hotel near the mall, we moved into the house and lived like locals in Seward for the latter half of our trip. It was exactly what the doctor ordered.
The house is so well-decorated that it really felt like home. Every room had everything we could possibly think of and then some. The beds were comfortable and the layout of the bedrooms is perfect for families. Both the front "office" room and the yoga studio were nice spots to unwind after the kids were put to bed.
The location is outstanding. Seward is a great neighbourhood in itself with neat little shops, great food, and friendly neighbours. But I was also pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to get elsewhere from here. Public transit runs right in front of the house and can get you to a Metro train station in a few minutes, and it's also easy to get pretty much anywhere in greater Minneapolis within 15 minutes or so by car.
Although Tracy wasn't in town during our stay, she was super communicative throughout the entire process (especially grateful for that since this was our first Airbnb). And, in her absence, her staff next door at the Birchwood Cafe were very welcoming and helpful. The food at the Cafe, incidentally, was so good that we ended up getting all 3 of our dinners there... AND we came over for Saturday brunch, too!
If you are looking at this listing and considering whether to book it, do yourself a favour and go for it. You couldn't ask for a better place to call home while you're in Minneapolis.
