My friend and I were in town to teach at a young writers' conference; this VRBO was close by the venue where we taught. It was also close to the drive-through coffee place, Moka! :-) We were so impressed with the space--the bedrooms (fans, comfortable beds, lots of light, and the desk set up in the one room! Thanks!), the full kitchen, the comfortable living room with A/C and heating unit, the washer/dryer. It was mostly quiet during the early evening (Hwy. 14 is close) but quiet during the night. Never heard the owners downstairs. After staying in boutique hotels and other VRBOs, we really appreciated not having to log on to a streaming service to watch TV. Also appreciated the easy access to the place, the parking spot, and the quick communication with the owners.The only things we didn't like were the narrow staircase coming up and the open-concept bathroom. The bathroom is described, so it's not like we didn't know about it. We would've preferred a door or glass wall between shower and vanity, but maybe others will love it! But neither of these things would stop us from renting this place again because there were so many amenities!We would definitely rent the Flamingo Suite again!

Great space, matched description perfectly. Host had excellent communication upon booking and check-in and responded very quickly when we unexpectedly decided to check out early.

It was super comfortable and was a home away from home while we were visiting the Mayo Clinic!

This is an interesting/tough property to rate. The location for us was great, the main living area was spacious, there was a Keurig coffee maker, and the appliances worked well. That’s the good stuff. The entrance to the unit has 13 fairly steep stairs, so this might be a challenge for some to navigate. And when looking out the window to the back one sees a construction yard, which isn’t the greatest ambiance. The furnishings offer plenty of places to sit and to set things, but the couch was kind of a suede texture, and it had some spots and stains, so we opted to place a sheet over it before sitting. There is also ample evidence of “going cheap” on things. Multiple applications were obviously “scratch & dent” purchases, and most of the lamps were in poor shape. The HVAC is a little wonky in that it’s all operated by a wall unit, and in our case it didn’t do that well to keep the far bedroom comfortably warm in early October. And the bathroom is quite a bit more wonky. With the roofline in this converted attic at a slant, it required ingenuity to fit a workable bathroom, which led to a “wet room” style complete with shower. But at six feet tall I was unable to stand in front of the toilet to urinate without crouching way down. And similarly I had to crouch when using the shower as well as be very careful not to hit my left arm/elbow on a shelf immediately to the left of the shower head. It required some gymnastics to complete my shower without bumping something.
