A proposito di questa casa struttura in affitto
Summary:
The Nightingale is a historic 3-story, 4-bedroom home 5 minutes from the Mall of America and MSP Intl. airport. Built in 1925, it rests on a 10,000 sq ft. lot that provides a relaxing getaway while keeping you close to everything in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Our newly remodeled kitchen has a five-burner gas stove and is stocked w/ utensils, dinnerware, and pots and pans. Our beautiful oak dining table seats ten, and we hope our home will feel as comfortable as your own.
The Space:
I grew up in Minnesota and always wanted to renovate a historic home. My parents and I designed The Nightingale to retain its original 1920s charm while being as accommodating as possible for modern lifestyles.
*****Please note: the basement has a separate entrance on the side of the house that I keep as an apartment for myself. Although I travel most of the year when I'm on the property, my priority is the comfort and peace of the guests— the top three floors and the yard are all yours. If I'm around, you may see me tending to the yard or shoveling the sidewalks.
When you use your personal code to enter through the back door, you will find a redesigned powder room and updated kitchen with everything you need to cook and entertain a group of up to ten. The living room has hardwood floors and a plush sectional with a 75-inch Roku HDTV—perfect for a family holiday or watching the big game.
The three main bedrooms are on the second floor, and a modern chandelier showcases the wood banister as you walk upstairs. In the primary bedroom, we have a king-sized memory foam mattress with a dedicated workspace for one and a 65-inch Roku HDTV. The two secondary bedrooms are nested with one entrance from the hallway and have queen-sized beds.
Also, on the second floor is a spacious bathroom with a porcelain tub and a separate milk-house block glass shower that is magnificent in the morning sun.
On the third floor (The Crows Nest) is another dedicated workspace and a separate bedroom with a queen-sized memory foam bed, a gigantic foam beanbag chair, and a 40-inch Roku HDTV. This is my favorite room in the house—perfect for kids who want to play video games or watch movies.
We also have a stunning three-season porch, in-unit washer/dryer, and 8 brand-new Pickleball courts nearby.
Enjoy your stay!

8 / 10Eccellente·lug 2026
Property was in a great location, an older house, but in very good condition. A few things that could’ve been better but was not a dealbreaker. The numbers on the house were hard to see when we drove up that night and when the porch light clicked on, it was so bright you could not see the numbers. There were only six towels for four people, so I felt like I had to wash the towels every other night. There were no washcloths available. The door knob to the red bedroom was very loose and fell off several times. The upstairs bathroom sink did not drain well and the water was barely a trickle no water pressure whatsoever in the sink upstairs. Would have liked a few more blankets or quilts available so that you did not have to use the bedspread to cover up. Really wished there would’ve been some recommendations for some local restaurants as a suggestion to go that are good. Overall experience was A. Just some of these things would’ve made the experience better. The basement is an apartment that is used, and I was not made aware at the very beginning when I rented the place that this was the case however, it wasn’t an issue. They were not a bother, but would’ve liked to have had that communication upfront before I rented.
