Perched above it all, with a deck that makes every evening feel like an occasion. The Loft is the upper-floor unit at Corner Store, a 1920s building on 5th St NE in the heart of the NE Arts District. The private deck looks out over the lush, tree-shaded backyard — the same backyard with the wood-burning sauna, firepit, pergola, and outdoor bar that guests rave about.

Inside, the unit is comfortable and well-appointed: a real bedroom, a proper kitchen with everything you need to cook, high-speed WiFi, and air conditioning. It's the kind of place that makes you want to stay in as much as go out. And when you do go out, you're steps from some of the best restaurants, breweries, and coffee shops in Minneapolis.

Young Joni, Vinai, Bauhaus Brew Labs, Dangerous Man, The Briar — all within easy walking distance. This is what the best NE Minneapolis trip looks like.
