The Cooper, a charming Double Bungalow just Blocks from W River Parkway
The Cooper is a private bungalow unit just blocks from West River Parkway -minutes from downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul. The main floor of this charming home has rich hardwood floors -a sun filled living room with gas fireplace , a spacious dining room -a well equipped kitchen- 2 delightful bedrooms - a full bath with tub/shower and in the lower level there is an inviting media /family room with a 55â tv with sound bar and a laundry room . Perfectly located , convenient to most everything. Itâs a great place, quiet area and I have loved living in this neighborhood for the last 20 years!
The Cooper is a clean, cozy and quiet place to stay. Great location, close to Lake Street, Turtle Bread (excellent brunch location) and not far from Minnehaha Falls. The unit is located in a quiet, safe residential neighborhood, with plenty of street parking. Good communication with host. We were in town for a family event and the tasteful bungalow suited our needs perfectly. Lots of amenities, including a clothes steamer. We will definitely stay at the Cooper for our next visit.
This is a great place in a quiet, residential neighborhood, yet only a few blocks from E. Lake Street. Downtown, the airport, the river, and the U. of Minnesota campus are all short drives away. We were in town for our daughterâs graduation at the U and it suited our needs perfectly.
The place is pretty much as described, and was a good spot for us to stay while visiting family. The beds are SUPER comfortable, and the location was great for us. Checking in & out was a breeze and the owner responded quickly to messages. Like every TC house we've stayed in, the floors creak - not a complaint, just a heads up for anyone not used to these old houses. Laundry in the basement is great. The kitchen is somewhat sparsely stocked, but it served us well and there are markets not too far away. I just hope the smoke alarm has been moved away from the bathroom door - if not, keep the bathroom door closed after showering until the steam is completely gone,
The house was great with comfy beds and nicely furnished. I loved the location near bike paths and Lake Street with easy access to Minneapolis or St Paul. So, overall an excellent choice. A couple of suggestions from this (older) traveler:âthe shower and tub are fine but it needs a grab bar on the side. âwhen itâs really hot out (like now) the AC should be slightly lower than the fixed 78 degrees. Nights were just too hot. âthe kitchen is fine in every way, but it needs a new garbage disposal that works well.âAnd it would better to have slightly hotter water; it is nicely warm but I would not say it is really hot. Sorry to be a bit picky but everything else was wonderful and I simply wanted it to be nearer perfect.
Very nice, cozy and quiet place. Great location, close to W River Parkway and Lake Street. Super friendly host, comfy and tastefully furnished. All around excellent!
Perfect home for a month visit for our small family
Clean, convenient, comfortable, quiet neighborhood with easy access to twin cities activities. 2 br home with furnished basement had everything our family needed for a month long visit. Very clean everywhere and responsive owner. Former school with park across the street was perfect for romping in the park with other kids. Brand new deck with tables and chairs for enjoying summer evenings. Recommend for family visits!
Just finished a 3 night stay and all I can say is very positive.
Firstly, the unit is part of a duplex. It is very nicely decorated. There is a fantastic gas fireplace in the living room (used that every day), 2 nice bedrooms, all new appliances (at least they looked that way), a downstairs TV room and laundry. The unit is well decorated and modern. There are plenty of the items you would need for a stay. All you'll need is food, and you're set. There is PLENTY of on-street parking, and the area is SAFE.
The house is a few blocks from the main drag, which puts you within walking distance of plenty of eateries. I suggest the Hi-Lo diner or Dogwood Cafe. There are many more and can could go on and on.
Buck, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with. He was very responsive. He had fresh bottled water, coffee, and creamer ready for our arrival.
If we go back, we'll definitely try to stay here again.
My husband and I loved our stay here. The home was pristinely cleaned, comfortable and beautiful. Great location, plenty of space, quiet and had everything we needed.
