Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Enjoy afternoons in the summer, walking around the lake, listening to live evening concerts, kayaking or canoeing with friends. Enjoy a quick walk to amazing restaurants such as: Martina Tilia Naviyas Thai Brasserie Harriet Brasserie Pizza Rosalia Zumbro Cafe Great Harvest Bread Co Jone’s Coffee Coffee & Tea Ltd Sebastian Joe’s Enjoy the endless walking and biking trails connecting you to the chain of lakes, Minnehaha trail, or even the green line. Sometime around mid-Spring, the lake begins to thaw, the residents trade in their boots for flip-flops, and Linden Hills transforms into a full-blown resort town. From nightly concerts and movies at the Bandshell, to fishing, canoeing, paddle boarding, and kayaking in the lake, to building sand castles at the beach. And then before you know it, Autumn's here decorating Lake Harriet with it is brilliant wreath of colors, crisp air, and enjoyable walks. A few snowflakes later, winter has arrived lining the streets with string lights, paving the sledding hill at William Berry Park for maximum thrills, and sturdy-ing up the frozen lake for the thousands (20k+) of visitors drawn to the Art Shanty Project and Lake Harriet Kite Festival. Additionally, this neighborhood is gastronomically-blessed. A haven for nationally-recognized chefs like Steven Brown and Daniel Del Prado, our little village is simply teeming with culinary talent.

Our family (2 adults, 2 kids, 2 dogs) had a really great time at Andrea's! The highlight was the location - it could not have been more ideal - peaceful and beautiful neighborhood, steps away from Lake Harriet, a 5 minute walk to some nice restaurants and coffee shops (and a great kid's bookstore!). We loved it! The apartment is very nicely done - plenty of space to hang around and get cosy on a cold day, well stocked with basic amenities, and the linens and towels were super comfortable. The check-in/check-out was super simple, Andrea extremely responsive. Thanks for a great stay!

Andreas place was absolutely amazing. The Linden Hills neighborhood is really a standout area. So many nice restaurants, parks (one of the best play structures I’ve seen for kids in a while), coffee shops, etc. I am in love with Wild Rumpus books. The place was very clean, wifi worked flawlessly, and lots of parking on the street. Everything was well stocked so it was very easy to settle in. I look forward to coming back in the future.

Andrea’s place was so nice - well kept, well stocked, very nicely set up. Loved that it didn’t have a lot of things (like vases etc) sitting out that could be knocked over by my children. My kids (2&5) loved the window seats in kitchen as well as living room, the big beautiful windows. It was quiet (we could hear airplanes passing as she had warned but it wasn’t disruptive, just exciting to the little ears that tune to things like that). The entrance was very well explained in her check in message. Though I will note that there are a lot of stairs to get in - so would be cautious about booking if bringing someone that had limited mobility. But was not a problem for us (just might not pack things into a big suitcase next time). We love that neighborhood and the view of the lake from Living room was lovely - and the walkability to the big playground, the lake, the streetcar, wild rumpus bookstore, the restaurants, etc was ideal. Andrea was super responsive to messages too!

We loved Andrea’s place. It’s was perfect for our needs. I have family in Minneapolis; we will stay here again. Perfect location for those who like to walk and eat interesting food. Many great places to walk to; lakes, bars, coffee, book stores, bakery’s, breweries. Close to the airport and easy to downtown. Walk to bus. Near the city, but safe and quiet.
