Andrea responded quickly when we initially inquired and we were booked into her place in record time. She offered us a crib/pack&play option for our new grandbaby, and graciously offered to place an order with FreshDirect so we wouldn't have to run out for food after arriving. Check-in was a breeze and Andrea looked in on us shortly after to make sure we had everything we needed. The location is 1/2 block from one of Minneapolis' most active and beautiful lakes, and about a block from boat rentals, a nice concession restaurant, a bandstand where free concerts are held throughout the summer, early morning yoga classes, and more. Street parking was plentiful and painless. The house is lovely. Huge overall and artfully converted into the owner's living space below and the apartment we stayed in above. There was a beautiful view of the lake from the living room, and the layout/design of the space was modern and airy. I'd keep singing its praises but I'm running out of room. A++

We had an outstanding stay at Sun and Angelo’s home. From the start they were incredibly responsive and thoughtful. Quick to answer questions, flexible with our needs, and genuinely helpful throughout the process. Their recommendations really made the trip special. For example the jog around Lake Harriet which is just a couple blocks away and the lovely dinner at a place they suggested. The home itself was clean, elegant, comfortable. Linden Hills is a desirable area, and this property made it easy to enjoy everything around it. Would stay here again and highly recommend Sun and Angelo as hosts. They made it seamless.

This was the best fit for our family of 3 sons and their own children. Denny and I celebrated our 80 birthdays with the entire "gang" in this charming house and it was excellent. Jon has a daughter (15) and a son (13) who are VERY hard to please. But his two brothers insisted they take the second floor and the teenagers were incredibly happy (when not bickering) to have a room of their own and bathrooms too. So, we all had our own floors with contemporary suites-- The mornings were slow and noisy after our oldest brought home yummies from his favorite bakery (he used to live in Mps. too). The dining room "shuffle board" was a big hit; a jigsaw puzzle hooked all of us if strolling thru the living room , card games and laughter happened each evening and the beach was close and refreshing...It was just perfect. Our favorite trip of all time. Thanks for being there and welcoming us into our 80s' with all of our sweet family. Nadya & Denny of Palm Desert and Sonoma (in summer) CA.

Perfect house for a family get together with all of coming from different states! It was perfectly set up and the location couldn’t be beat! We were 5-15 minutes from everything we wanted to do! I cannot say enough about our experience! If we go back to MN we would stay here again without a doubt!
