My friends and I enjoyed our winter weekend stay. The home and beds were comfortable. We especially appreciated the gas fireplace and throw blankets for curling up on the sofa and chatting into the night.

Great location for Macalester and good amenities in the house for cooking etc

Great place for a few days with family and exploring The Mall of America

Nice home situated in a great neighborhood within walking distance of coffee shops and Macalester College. Space was nice and fit 8 adult-sized people just fine. The downstairs queen pullout is a little wonky (slopes on either side and mattress pad a bit thin). The full bed pull out was just fine as were all the other beds. The hosts do note in a pamphlet that the showers need 15 minutes in between with more than 4 people. We found that even on the first shower it started running cool after 5-7 minutes. Not a big deal but plan for quick showers with a good bit of time in between. The kitchen was very spacious. We cooked in so we found that the kitchen supplies (no large pot or large serving bowl) made us have to be a bit creative in how we cooked. We ended up buying some large bowls, which we left for future guests. Wouldn’t be an issue if you were cooking for a smaller group or eating out. We did reach out to the hosts for some additional blankets. They did eventually drop off some extras but the communication during the time was sparse. Just know that if you do communicate they are likely working on the issue even if you don’t get a response for hours. We were grateful they were willing to resolve the issue after they got off work. The place was very clean!
