### Review (5/5 stars)
"Airbnb Review
We were extremely happy with Lance’s Minnestay Urban Oasis. There was a group of us, so we used both the first and second floor as well as the master suite on the third floor. My husband and I have stayed at many Airbnb’s and this house was the most fully decorated of any we’ve ever rented, and every mattress received rave reviews. The location is excellent and each floor has a lovely enclosed porch to hang out in. There were six of us and no one had a complaint. Lance was extremely helpful and responsive. We would all highly recommend staying here."

"Fantastic stay at a clean and comfortable place. We were in town for a family gathering and rented both units. It was comfortable and great for the 9 of us with kids/babies.
The beds are so comfortable.
The upstairs master suite is amazing!
I would definitely stay here again."

"So appreciative of the reviews and response from our guests. Thank you for taking the time to write a review as well as reaching out and allowing us to fix things that are not correct. I am pleased to read that you enjoyed the master suite so much. It is one of my favorite rooms in the whole house. Minnestay is continually doing everything we can to go above and beyond for our guests. I am happy to see that you all appreciate our efforts. We do appreciate your business and would love to have you stay again.

### Review (5/5 stars)
"The arrangement of the living spaces was ideal for our extended family with small children to feed and entertain them without waking those still on West Coast time. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the place was immaculate (even under the sofas as we discovered when fetching rogue toys) and the kitchens were the best equipped that I have seen. The fenced backyard was an unexpected bonus for rambunctious kiddos. We chose to eat in, but the welcome book with restaurant suggestions was very interesting."

**Host Response:**
"Fantastic review. Thank you so much. I never thought it would be such an appealing place being a duplex. However, it works so well for so many guests. You can have some privacy and yet spend tons of time together in either unit. I am also happy that we went the extra mile and put memory foam mattress and top end linens in all the beds. Everyone loves the mattresses. I am also overwhelmed to read how clean you found it. I was so happy to read about under the sofas, I sent the review to the cleaning crew along with a bonus for doing such an amazing job. Minnestay is quickly adding more and more properties and our goal is to consistently exceed our guests expectations time and again. All the staff at Minnestay thank you for your visit and kind words.
With Gratitude,
Lance"

### Review (5/5 stars)
"This home is a beautiful, charming, and well maintained gem in the heart of the city. It is meticulously clean and well stocked with supplies to provide a very comfortable stay. Lance has gone out of his way to create a welcoming environment by supplying quality beds, linens, and toiletries. We even received a bottle of wine as a welcome gift! The home itself is a beautifully preserved and restored Craftsman, full of character and tastefully furnished with interesting art pieces and photos from around the world as well as comfortable, quality furniture. Lance himself is friendly, open, easy to communicate with, and available to address issues or answer questions. Our stay in this home was one of our best Airbnb experiences thus far. We highly recommend it! Thank you, Lance, for making our stay delightful!"

### Review (5/5 stars)
"Unique house with multiple options for privacy and separation on different floors. We rented the entire house for a friend weekend and loved that we could spread out on the different floors. Having the option to "get away" within the house was nice for our group! Loved the walkable neighborhood, too."
- Frances, 2017-09-10
Positive aspects: Great location
**Host Response:**
"Fantastic review, thank you so much. It is a very cool house and I like that you were able to spread out and have privacy with your large group. With 7 restaurants and 2 coffee shops within in a few blocks does make for a very walkable neighborhoods. I may be a bit biased but it is one of my favorite neighborhoods in the area. We at Minnestay want to thank you for your business and hope to have you stay again at one of our many properties.
With Gratitude,
Minnestay "
