Hampton Inn & Suites Minneapolis University Area

8/10 Good

"Very clean and spacious rooms"

Serenity suite 1-bedroom house, AC, WiFi, minutes from Minneapolis, pet friendly

10/10 Excellent

"Steven and Katie were so accommodating to me, my cat, and my dog (pet friendly). We needed a place to stay for a few days while my floors were being redone in my house. They were extremely communicative, the place was clean, quiet, and had all the amenities I needed. Plus, the foot claw bathtub was a bonus for nice relaxing ‘spa day’ I will definitely go there again!"

The Cooper, a charming Double Bungalow just Blocks from W River Parkway

10/10 Excellent

"Cozy property and great value for location. Neighbor was safe and property was clean. Amenities provided by host were a nice touch and host was very responsive."

The St. Paul Castle ~ Heated Pool ~ Hot Tub ~ Sauna ~ Arcade ~ Bar ~ 8BR

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place. Good location. Walkable to fair, about 40 min.(although it was so hot we didn't). Cute little neighbor hood shops scattered around. Just a note- all entry ways have stairs."

2BR Apartment Near Downtown with Workspace - Snapdragon

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely quiet neighborhood, cozy backyard spacious home!"

Walkable Longfellow Home Near Lake Street

8/10 Good

"There’s a lot cute about this house, but unfortunately the entrance isn’t. Very old concrete stairs and wobbly rail leading to porch with very old screen door and windows. The kitchen and bath are nicely done, the downside being the two bedrooms are upstairs and the only bath is downstairs. Living space was comfy and we appreciated that we could bring our dog. Obviously, one can’t control the weather and it was extremely hot during our stay. The window units kept house adequately cool, but they are loud. Longfellow is an interesting, walkable neighborhood, but staying here over July 4 was like being in a war zone, despite the illegality of fireworks. Again, not host’s fault but heads up if you plan to book over that holiday."
