Vacation rentals with a washer and dryer in Excelsior

My family and I selected Aaron and Colleen as hosts based on their five-star rating and safe location. However, we received more than what was expected. The first day, we were met with a personalized note, chocolates, and drinks in the fridge, including homemade cold brew! Such a thoughtful touch made us feel right at home. We were busy with family activities in the city, so we didn’t use the Peloton, hot tub, or sauna as expected. Still, returning to immaculate, extremely comfortable, stylish accommodation was lovely. The mattress was perfect! We also enjoyed listening to various records on the record player while playing cards and board games; it felt nostalgic. We enjoyed our stay, to say the least, and hope to revisit our experience at some future time.

One of the rare times I felt the place looked better than the photos! I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely book again when in Minneapolis. I felt right at home, it was clean, comfortable bed, easy check-in. Walking distance to restaurants, bars, the university, Stone Arch Bridge. Very good value for the price I paid. Note that there isn’t a washer/dryer in unit, rather the building had a room, use quarters.

John and Zina are terrific hosts and the space is perfect for a weekend getaway. It's well appointed and comfortable. Easy walking distance from Minneapolis Institute of Art, Eat Street restaurants, and shopping. Nice access to biking trails, too. Highly recommended!

We found Andy's place to be really nice. The place was not clean when we arrived at 4pm (check-in was at 3pm)however it seemed to a honest mistake with the cleaner forgetting and was remedied that evening. Andy and his brother were responsive immediately to our concerns. Overall, the place is conveniently located, easy to street park, nicely furnished, comfortable and stocked with basics the bathroom/kitchen such as soap, coffee/tea etc. I would recommend it!

This location was fantastic for our family of 3! The home is lovely, immediately felt comfortable and we were able to enjoy the outdoor deck area so much! For families, this is a fantastic location. 2 blocks to the beach, one block to nice park on a quiet street and the hosts were amazing at having the home baby proofed and ready for our arrival. Overall, it was the little touches and kind hosts that make this place truly stand out, can’t wait to visit again!

Perfect place for us while moving our two MCAD graduates out of their apartment (within walking distance!). Great communication for checking in, parking and checking out. We would highly recommend this location to anyone! Thank you!! We hope to return someday :)

I would like to give this apartment a 5 for the clean, pleasant environment inside and out and good host communication. However, it was not quite as well equipped as I typically find in an airbnb and therefore a 4 for value.

Had a great 3 night stay! The apartment was comfortable and felt safe. The neighborhood was great- walkable and some delicious recommended restaurants nearby. Would definitely suggest for solo travelers or couples!!

The home was great, clean, comfortable and quiet. Laura was responsive and a great host. It was perfect for our needs.

This house was perfect for our weekend get away to celebrate my mother‘s 88th birthday. Brooke checked in to make sure we got into the house and if there was anything we needed was very quick to respond. Brooke let us have a later check out and we were so appreciative of this. The overall experience was just amazing. Such a short walk to several restaurants that we went to, and just a short drive to other places in the area. The house was super clean and spacious. The beds were amazingly comfortable. It was such a charming house.

This home was the perfect place to celebrate a milestone in my life! The host was incredibly thoughtful and responsive, which made our stay even more enjoyable. One detail that really stood out to me was the availability of a flat iron hair tool in the bathroom which is a small touch that spoke volumes. Considering all textured hair types, little things like that make a big difference in feeling seen and welcomed. It’s clear the host put genuine care into making the space inclusive and accommodating for all guests. The home was spacious and well-stocked with everything we needed. When one of our guests had difficulty with a bathroom fixture due to limited vision, the host was understanding and kind in response. I cannot recommend this home enough! It's plenty of space to accommodate a family of 16. Thank you again for making our experience so memorable!

Great stay and great host. This is a nice cozy place with a convenient location and easy access to the lake. It had everything I needed plus extra little details like a fully stocked kitchen, first aid kit and scissors…things you never think about needing but made my stay easier and more comfortable. The photos and descriptions were accurate. The host is very responsive, clear communication and made everything easier. I even forgot a couple items and she was very responsive and flexible in arranging for me to pick them up. 5 stars all around, would be happy to stay here again.

It was a beautiful place. Felt very at home, peaceful and everything was pretty close by for us. (We were there for a wedding that was only 7 miles away). All freeways were easily accessible to go into the Twin Cities though.

This house and the neighborhood were breathtaking. Absolutely beautiful, inside and out. We walked to the Science Museum and restaurants nearby and there's a close park and river to enjoy. My family and I had quite a relaxing time and didn’t want to leave. I've already recommended this house to loved ones. Thank you both for everything, even the welcome cookies. Highly recommended!

Charming, well-equipped place. Beautiful neighborhood. Nicole was timely in her responses and generous with her home. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

We loved staying here as a family of four and a pup visiting extended family in Victoria. It was one of our most favorite Airbnb’s we’ve stayed in! The yard is lovely and huge and peaceful. The house was super clean and welcoming. There were treats and a hand written note there to welcome us. The house was not cluttered but had really nice amenities like soaps and towels and towels for dog paws and even an air hockey table! We hope to make this our new home away from home when we visit Minnesota. Loved it!

It is as advertised, Studio Apartment, Pull out couch, right next to train that'll get you to downtown or Mall of America, and beautiful hiking for the Mississippi as well as Minnehaha falls was wonderful (12 min walk!)

We loved our stay at this charming, clean and comfortable unit. The location was great, close to the Macalester campus, coffee shops and other local spots. Also Jean-Claude was a responsive and kind host. We would definitely come back!

We had a lovely stay in this classic Minneapolis apartment so near the lake in a very cool neighborhood! Great places nearby and I recommend!

This place was exactly what we needed. Super responsive hosts (within 10 min every time!). We felt right at home. Fast WiFi for work, beautiful and great location for restaurants, bike paths and even some clubs near by. We were very happy with our stay. Can’t wait to stay again.

My husband and parents and I were in town for the weekend to visit our daughter. The area was perfect and centrally located for us. The condo was clean and well kept. Jason was very responsive to questions I had regarding parking. I just wish the weather would have nicer to use the outdoor deck! I would say the only downfall (and no fault of the owner) is that it was a bit noisy at night with people outside. However, when going to a city that is expected.

There was one issue with the tub and bath sink drain. They had someone out the next morning. Very responsive. The communication was also very good, again very responsive with any questions I had.

Comfortable, clean, well stocked and great location

We took a few days off to explore the twin cities and used the Airbnb as our base. The hosts were wonderful and were very proactive to ensure we had a great stay. The house was exactly as described, very comfortable, and also had all of the amenities we needed. Overall great place, great hosts! I would stay there again.
