So much better than a hotel. Well furnished. Hosts are attentive and keep a close eye on everything. Wildlife right outside your window, including a whitetail
Becca's property are always very well stocked. The dwelling itself was dated and the 1 bathroom was very small. The plastic shower curtain liner could be replaced with something softer like a linen, etc. The outside property was gorgeous! I enjoyed sitting in the LR recliner looking outside at the trees and front yard. It was ok our purposes for a couple of days.
This is a wonderful option for anyone going to Mayo Clinic. We came for cancer care for my dad and were so comfortable here! The den was a perfect place for me to set up my home office so I could work remotely while we were there for appointments. The property manager Becca was fantastic with communication and very accommodating. We met Anne and Rebecca (neighbors) and both were so lovely and helpful. Grateful to have had this home away from home while in Rochester!
The online reviews didn't match up with what we found. The bedding had bleach spots & stains, dirty used sponge in the sink for our use as well, pet friendly...but wasn't expecting the furniture to be covered in pet hair. We had to cover couch & recliner with sheets just to sit on them so our clothes didn't pick up someone else's pet hair. Unacceptable. Sadly, we left after spending one night there.
The apartment is part of a larger building with 3 other units with permanent residents. Everyone we met was super friendly and helpful. We rarely heard noise from other units, even when windows were open. The property is large with plants, gardens and ravines and is peaceful. Short, 10-minute drive to the Mayo campus. Very convenient. The rooms were all very clean and kitchen was stocked so we could do meals at the house. I highly recommend Viola Suite!!
We needed a place to stay for after my husband's surgery and this was perfect. Close to everything but not right in town. Loved the big back yard and wildlife we got to see every day. Would definitely stay here again!!
