About this property

Portland Place--Victorian Getaway

Beautiful turn of the century Victorian home (built 1900) offering private/cozy & quiet bedrooms on the second floor with main floor private entry.
Bedroom #1----- 12' x 14', king bed, includes a 12' x 14' sitting room and a large marble bath with walk in shower and double sink vanity.
Bedroom #2---- 12' x 10' , queen bed, with a private marble bath
Amazing woodwork with all the charm of an antique home but with needed modern amenities of updated baths (no kitchen). Our home is powered by Clean Energy---Renewable*Connect. LED lighting throughout. Enjoy your morning coffee (selection of Kuerig cups provided). Portland Place is located in the "Central" neighborhood in South Minneapolis a very urban and ethnically diverse neighborhood--less than 10 minutes to almost anything you want to do or see in the Mpls area. Private front foyer and staircase. The property in our separate living space is home of 2 cats, don't be surprised if they greet you on the porch (they do not have access to your second floor). Our home and neighborhood is GLBT friendly. This is a perfect option for a quiet relaxing stay--not a good fit for a party weekend. Don't hesitate to send an inquiry with any questions!

Lovely apartment, area potentially questionable

Unit itself was lovely and Jeff organized late self check in - thank you for that Quiet despite being on fairly main road . think area slightly less than good but could have done with steer in that from host - lots of homeless on streets nearby -but actual house and immediate neighbors seem nice Two separate bedrooms but smaller had no bedside light and although that was within a lockable area there were several doors marked’ private’ within the area and despite asking if anyone else was living there we had no response to texts snd my daughter was uncomfortable therefore Also nowhere to wash dishes other than in bathroom sink and no equipment etc to do so - did text Jeff to request washing those as per instructions in the flat but didn’t happen so had to take back upstairs and rinse as best we could Safe had low battery symbol so didn’t want to risk using and again no response to text about that

Fantastic host, great accommodations!

Jeff was a wonderful host, as he opened the doors up of his 1900s house to us over the weekend. He was very friendly and made himself available whenever we might need. The unit was fully stocked, with very comfortable beds and luxurious towels. We enjoyed flipping through photos and seeing the resonating progress of the house. We would definitely visit again the next time we are in the area!

Quick weekend stay

Our group had a wonderful time at this property. The rooms were clean and cozy and our host added lots of nice touches, such as coffee, chocolate and wine. Downtown was a short Uber ride away and our host was responsive to any questions or needs. The host’s residence is on the first floor, but there are no common areas. It was like staying at a private boutique hotel. Would stay again!

Beautiful Home

We spent the weekend at this amazing gem of a rental. The property owner, Jeff, was responsive and accommodating. Home had a lot of charm, plenty of towels and was very clean. Everything you could possibly need was provided, coffee, tea. Cold water and even a few cold beers in the fridge. Jeff also left a bottle of wine and some chocolates, all complimentary. The beds were very comfortable. My family is tall but shorter guests could probably benefit from a mini step stool to get into the beds. Neighborhood was quiet. Definitely plan to rent from Jeff again while in the Minneapolis area. Thanks Jeff’

Powderhorn Perfect

We stayed at this property once before, about 5 years ago. We gave it 5 stars then, as we did this trip. We stayed for a week. The rooms are wonderful. If you love sleek and modern, that is not this place. This place is beautifully Victorian. The place is spacious, clean and the Victorian house is very nice. We are two 70 year-olds who love to walk. The area is residential and you’ll b able d to walk or drive about a mile to nearest restaurants. We felt safe at all times. We really like this place.

Beautiful Victorian home just minutes from downtown!

The perfect home away from home for accessibility to downtown and absolute comfort! Beautiful gardens, front porch and front entrance. The upstairs rooms are decorated with great taste and comfort in mind. Gorgeous works of art from the owners are seen in every room! Both the spacious parlor and second bedroom are equip for enjoyment and convenience. The wine and chocolate treat was divine. Jon was super helpful and made me and my three teens feel right at home. Highly recommend. Thank you!
