I loved staying at this place. The furnishings make it feel like staying in a lush home seen in magazines. Beds were comfortable & the amenities were perfect. Check-in was a breeze.
My family and I had a very pleasant stay at this half-duplex near Lake Harriet in Minneapolis. There are several restaurants convenient to the VRBO and it's an easy walk to the Lake. Even though there was some road construction going on less than a block away, the rooms were quiet.One minor issue is communication with the person who manages the property. There's a second company between VRBO and the property owner, and somehow in the combination messages sent through VRBO's contact form get lost (more specifically, having talked to the firm, messages reach the firm, but when they respond, the answers don't get back to the VRBO web site). So -- if you wish to rent, reach out to the email address listed, instead of using the VRBO form! She was very responsive and helpful.

Nice clean place in an excellent location. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. The one downside...and this isn't necessarily the owner's fault. The people living in the other side of the duplex decided to go all Friday on a Tuesday. That distinct skunk smell filled our side of the duplex too. I get this is maybe the new norm in cities like Minneapolis. But still not a great way to spend the night with my 8 and 5 year olds.

Very helpful, even with silly questions that are written in the guest book. Clean and quiet!
