Here are a few kind words from our past guests:

"Clean, cozy, and perfect location! We loved being so close to the light rail. There’s fast food and an Aldi right nearby, you’re close to lots of other interesting restaurants, and there’s a Target about five blocks away. Punith was a great and attentive host and we really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay here again. Super convenient to U of M via the light rail for families making campus visits!" - Miranda

"Exceptional accommodations! I highly recommend Hamline House, outstanding location on a quiet street. Very clean and cozy with extra nice amenities! Easy check in/check out. Punith was a wonderful, conscientious and helpful host!" - Mary

☆☆ PATIO ☆☆

Exit through the side door to find a private patio with two chairs and a BBQ grill (charcoal not provided).

Please note we routinely spray the property for bugs and insects. To help prevent bugs from entering the home, please keep the doors closed. If you happen to come across any (they can be pesky!), we will do what we can to take care of the situation as soon as possible!

☆☆ PARKING ☆☆

Free street parking is available around the house. You are welcome to use the right side of the driveway located next to the garage behind the house.

★☆ Book today and let us take care of you in the Twin Cities! ☆★

GUEST ACCESS:
You will have access to the entire left side of the duplex. Walk up two sets of stairs to get to the front door.

Please note that because this is a duplex, you may occasionally hear guests in the other unit. We do our best to suppress any noise that travels from one unit to another, but we wanted to make you aware as you make your booking decision!

Also, like many homes in the Twin Cities, this place has an old world charm. It's been recently updated with furniture and wall decor, but as with any old home, please be aware it has its quirks, including a wooden floor and a narrow kitchen and stairway.

Enter through the left-side door and check yourself in with our Schlage Encode smart lock and keypad (code will be given prior to self check-in).

To ensure the safety of our guests and our neighborhood, we have one exterior camera next to the front door facing the stairs leading up to the house. There are no interior cameras as we value our guests’ privacy. The camera records motion-detected video and audio (of the exterior only).

No smoking is allowed in the home or on the premises. A $500 fee will be applied if there is evidence of smoking during the stay.

Free street parking is readily available. If needed, feel free to park in the right side of the driveway.

Cute and Cozy!
Easy to find and get to, minutes away from so many things to do as well as shopping and in a quiet neighborhood. Host was so kind, helpful, responsive, and really went above and beyond! Home was cozy, had everything we needed, plenty of storage, and good water pressure (big deal for our house!). If you’re big into cooking, the kitchen is pretty snug but has everything you need to cook any meal. It really did have all the charm of an older home but still with modern comforts. We will be having to make trips back to the area several times over the next few years and will absolutely stay here again!
