"Thank you, Kristi! We’re delighted you enjoyed the charm and character of the home, as well as the convenient location. We’d be happy to host you again!"
"Cannot recommend this location enough as it is a perfect, private location tucked away into the Linden neighborhood. Walkable to Lake Harriet and several small shops and local restaurants - it is the perfect location. The house was immediately comfortable for my family and I - the decor was hip but comfortable. We will absolutely rent with this host on our next trip back to see family. Highly recommend this host and their properties."

"Great house in a LOVELY walkable neighborhood with shops and really good restaurants. The lake was an easy walk to as well. The area was so pretty! The lake, trees, and flowers. Picturesque! The house was welcoming and charming. Plus, it had all the amenities at our fingertips. The beds were comfortable which is always a big deal for us. Also, the proximity of the airport was only like 20-25 min. Wish we could have stayed longer!"
