Welcome to the Corner Store! This is a highly unique space -- built in 1902, it was once a small neighborhood grocery shop. Enjoy the large storefront windows, tall pressed tin ceiling, and the amazing backyard/sauna.

Please note that this is the lower level of a duplex -- the apartment is private and all yours, but there is an apartment above you where other guests will be staying as well.

The space is airy and open with high ceilings, and filled with original art, plants, thoughtful touches, and modern comforts -- yet it retains its historic and unconventional character. Custom-made furniture and local art makes for a stylish vibe, and a wall full of books will keep you well-read.

The backyard is like an urban oasis — fully fenced in and private, with lush gardens, multiple decks, lounge space, and a fire pit, and a fantastic wood-burning sauna.

CHECK-IN
—————

Ultra-easy with a keypad lock on the front door. I send the code when you book! I do not need to be present when you check in.

—————
BEDROOMS
—————

There are two bedrooms in the unit -- a main bedroom with a queen-sized foam mattress that has a private entrance/exit to the backyard, and shares a hallway to the kitchen and bathroom. The sunny storefront space can also be a bedroom — there's a double Murphy bed hidden in the wall, complete with a comfortable Tuft & Needle memory foam mattress, and outlets for your devices.

—————
BATHROOM
—————

There is one bathroom, which is small but has everything you need: tub/shower, sink, toilet, fresh white towels and washcloths, a hairdryer, and complimentary shampoo/body wash.

—————
KITCHEN
—————

Fully stocked, open, and ready for you to whip up an award-winning meal. Sharp knives, all the utensils and dishware and cooking equipment, a full oven/range, a full size dishwasher, commercial steel sink and faucet, and concrete countertops.

—————
LIVING/DINING ROOM
—————

The large, open storefront space is a combined living and dining room, with plenty of space to hang out and watch TV on the large 55” flatscreen with soundbar (all streaming services available), or gather at the huge dining room table near the plant-filled front windows. It’s a beautiful and relaxing space that also photographs really well. :)

—————
BACKYARD
—————

The backyard is a special spot — plenty of decks, lounge spots, garden beds, and a fire pit. Best of all, there's a wood-fired sauna for you to enjoy — perfect for the wintertime. The yard is also a great area for photo shoots — weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, or anything else!

I will interact with guests as much or as little as needed -- I love to give recommendations on where to eat, where to see great live music, etc. I'm reachable 24/7 via phone, text, and email.

I know this neighborhood inside and out, and will provide you with my ultra-awesome, comprehensive neighborhood guide when you book :)

The takeaway: you're in the epicenter of the best food, drink, coffee, art, and culture in town, walkable to most of it. If you're a beer fanatic, you're a stone's throw from over a dozen local breweries.

You are within walking distance of three of Minneapolis’ most award-winning restaurants:

- Hai Hai (a 5 min walk)
- Popol Vuh (10 min walk)
- Young Joni (15 min walk)

When you venture out, you will find yourself in the heart of the Northeast Arts District -- a safe, charming residential neighborhood that is within 1-2 miles of coffee shops, grocery stores, restaurants, and all manner of excellent restaurants, bars, and attractions, in addition to incredible local breweries, hundreds of artist studios, and more.

Our street is a designated bikeway, among many others that cover the entire city. Minneapolis is one of the best biking cities in the country, and we provide maps and route advice to get you just about anywhere.

We are close to the center of downtown, the Minneapolis chain of lakes, and Target Field (the new Twins stadium). The largest art crawl/festival in the nation, Art-a-Whirl, takes place directly in our neighborhood every May.

There is plentiful, unrestricted street parking right in front of the house! Biking is a great way to get around this neighborhood -- there are conveniently located NiceRide bike stations available nearby, and all over the city. There are major bus lines very close by which will zip you to downtown, the U of M campus, and most anywhere else -- including to the light rail, which connects with the airport, the Mall of America, and St. Paul.

Sales tax is included in your nightly rate.

There are freshly washed towels, washcloths, and bedsheets for every guest. There is soap and shampoo/conditioner, and a hair dryer. There's also an iron/board for your convenience.
1. This is very important: NO loud parties, and noise must be kept to an absolute minimum after 10pm every night. You are staying in a duplex, and there will be guests staying in the other unit. Please respect this! If you are coming back to the house late at night, take care to be quiet when entering or exiting. Common sense stuff, but it's all very important.

2. You are also staying in a neighborhood, and my neighbors are super cool people -- please respect them by being quiet and considerate when exiting/entering the house, and when you're spending any time in the yard, on the decks, etc.

3. This is my house; I love sharing it with guests, but it is my home -- please treat it respectfully!

4. Please don't wear shoes in the house; keep them in the entryway.

5. No pets.

6. No additional guests are allowed to stay beyond those who are booked -- please be honest about how many people are staying. There are very good reasons for this; if you have questions, just ask.

7. Absolutely no smoking, and no vaping or e-cigarettes inside. There is a backyard, back deck, and front sidewalk if you need to smoke. Please dispose of cigarette butts appropriately.

8. On checkout, please do your best to leave the apartment as it was when you checked in.

9. If anything comes up that's not to your liking, please let me know so that I can fix it!
