I strive to make my guests as comfortable as possible, and I know I can not make everyone happy but I do the very best I can. Many people seem to not take the time to do reviews so here are some other reviews from guests who book from me on another site.
Joanne was there to meet us the day we arrived and gave us a brief tour of the apartments features. She was readily available by phone/text when we needed her. Beds were comfy and the TV was a great feature.
What Cheryl loved about your listing:
I liked the convenience to be able to walk to the Mayo Clinic at St Mary's Hospital where my husband was admitted for surgery. The location close to Walgreens, the Hy Vee grocery store, restaurants, and convenience stores was also nice. After his discharge from the hospital it was nice to be able to walk on the paved running/biking path nearby. The Roku TV was very nice too since we were limited in our ability to go outside much.
Joanne was wonderful! I booked the apartment a couple months in advance and we kept in contact throughout the entire process. My boyfriend and I were visiting because he had appointments at Mayo Clinic. The apartment was indeed cute and cozy!! It was perfect for what we needed- commuting back and forth from Mayo, preparing a few meals, and even renting movies from the red box at Walgreens right down the block! The little "fire place" kept us plenty warm and we even could do laundry here. Joanne met us when we arrived and gave us a little tour of our new temporary home. She also encouraged us to contact her if we needed anything at all. The apartment was clean and safe and I would definitely recommend anyone to stay at Joanne's if they're visiting the Rochester, MN area. Thanks again! :)

Joanne was a great host! Month's stay flew by. Had to stay an extra day and Joanne was incredibly accommodating. The apartment is right beside good restaurants and supermarket and only a short walk to St Mary's Hospital and to downtown. Would stay again any time!

I stayed in Joanne's apartment again for a month (Sep-Oct 2015) during my treatment at Mayo. As previously, Joanne has been quick to respond, available for whatever I needed and made me feel at home. I could not wish for a better host and a nicer place to stay in a Rochester.
October 2015
Joanne immediately welcomed us when we arrived in Rochester. As soon as we saw the apartment, we realized it was better than we could have hoped. The kitchen was well-equipped and the environment was cozy. It was excellent to have access to a washer and drier right outside our door. Just a few steps farther was the only grocery store you will ever need. If you are staying for the Mayo Clinic, the core campus is only a short walk away. Joanne was also nice enough to lend us two bikes for our stay. We highly recommend this apartment.

Joanne was very friendly and helpful. The apartment was clean and comfortable. Good wifi connection. It is in a nice neighbourhood and good location - we had a car for some of the time and some of the time we didn't but the location worked well in both cases. We stayed for several weeks and this was definitely the best option for us in Rochester in terms of price, comfort and convenience.

Space and location
My husband and I stayed in Joanne's apartment for 9 days while I was undergoing testing at the Mayo Clinic. Joanne has been awesome in every possible way - she responded to my texts and calls immediately and greeted us herself upon our arrival. She is very pleasant, and has renovated and decorated this place with so much love and care. The apartment is exactly as shown in pictures - clean, neat, and has absolutely everything for a most comfortable stay. The location is amazing - absolutely everything is within a walking distance. I will have to come back to Mayo for follow ups later this year and I will definitely first check if this apartment is available. Outstanding experience in every way.

So with that, I hope that if you are visiting Rochester, you give my place a try. I do not think you will be disappointed.
Thanks for checking out my space!

Our stay was great. Host was very kind and helpful!
4.8
This apartment is the top floor of a multi-family home (or similar). You get the whole floor to yourself with a workable kitchen, bathroom, and two reasonably sized bedrooms.
A short drive to Mayo Clinic, restaurants, and grocery stores, and there is a walgreens within walking distance.
The host was extremely responsive and helpful, no issues there.
4.8
This is the second time we have stayed at this property. The first time was in apartment 2 and this time in apartment 3. We are in Rochester for medical visits and this property is such a great location. Easy to get to Mayo. Close to Walgreens, Hyvee and a gas station. (within walking distance.) The apartment was clean and well-kept. Very appreciative of the owner' s hospitality. The only thing to note which I didn't catch on the reservation is that apartment 3 has a full staircase to walk up.
4.8
Joanne was able to meet us on a slightly later schedule because of the length of time it took us to get to Rochester. It was so much better to stay here than get a motel for my medical visit to Mayo Clinic. It was roomier than the pictures showed, as well. It was very home-y and comfortable. Would definitely come here again.
4.8
Excellent time. Only problem was that my sister and I, who are both in our 70's, didn't take into account the stairs. That would be the only reason we would not use this unit again. The manager was there to meet us and there was a designated parking space for us and she showed us around the unit. Very well done. Thank you.

The apartment was very clean and just adorable! The beds were very comfortable! Easy communication with Joanne! Will stay again if I ever am up that way!

We come for regular treatment at Mayo. This is our second stay here and Joanne is fantastic. The house is clean tidy & cozy. We love having a wonderful home away from home.
4.8
Great location. Very "homey" and warm and like my aunt just stepped out of her house and gave it to me. Not "perfect" (it is a 1940's building) which I like which made me comfortable. I just felt truly at home Small touches of thoughtfulness that I discovered as I stayed there. Good washer and dryer, thank god. Truly no complaints.
4.8
This was a perfect accommodation for me. Groceries, liquor, gas, coffee, and pharmacy all within approximately a block away. Nice kitchen and comfortable beds. Great space. Thank you

Joanne was the perfect hostess! She met us there upon arrival and went over everything with us in detail.
A short drive, 7 minutes to the Mayo Clinic. Walk to Walgreens and or the HyVee right around the corner.
Everything was clean and neat, bed was comfortable and having a washer and dryer on site was a huge plus.
We would definitely recommend!

This was a very comfortable place for the two of us to stay while receiving care at Mayo Clinic. Joanne is very personable, and we enjoyed meeting here. We had plenty of privacy. It was nice to eat most of our meals in-house, our sheets and mattresses were comfortable, and we enjoyed having televisions in the living room and bedrooms. The temperature in the apartment was nice and cool, which was a bonus as we are used to hot weather this time of year. I got out and walked at least an hour everyday through the neighborhood and found that I could walk to the Mayo building in about 10 minutes. (I am a fast walker.) We were very satisfied with our stay.

This VRBO was all it stated it was. It is located very close to Mayo Clinic which was a plus for us.

I rented this vrbo with the intention to have a place for my daughter to recover during her cancer treatments. When we got there, the amount of dust was incredible. The place was not recently cleaned or sanitized as advertised. When we attempted to contact the owner about the situation, texts remained unanswered for over 2 hours. It was a desperate call just before midnight with the threat to continue calls every 30 minutes until they were answered, did we hear back. And then instead of an apology and offer to clean it or make arrangements until it could be cleaned, we were met with questions and arguments about how clean it was. Even after sending pictures, the denial continued until we sent a video of a finger sweep of the dust. Someone is collecting cleaning fees and not doing their job. I will credit the owner in that she did offer to clean the place, but that was almost an hour into the debate about how clean it was and me leading her to agree it was not clean with the pics and video. If night #1 was starting this was, I could not imagine 5 weeks of this. Very unhappy!!

I was very pleased with the place. It was very clean and nice. It was also very well stocked, so I had what I needed for cooking. It is in a nice neighborhood next to a walkway along a creek. Joanne was also very timely in responding to questions and was there when I checked in. It is a very convenient walk to Mayo. It was a 20-25 minute walk through a nice neighborhood.

We were in Rochester for a week of appointments at Mayo Clinic. This is a great place to stay for anyone willing to walk 20 minutes or so (through pleasant, quiet neighborhoods) to the clinic buildings. It is so nice to have space to spread out (living room, two bedrooms, kitchen) compared to a hotel room, along with the opportunity to cook and store food. We especially enjoyed time in the beautiful back yard.

The apartment was very cute and cozy. It had all the comforts of home. It was also close to the Mayo Clinic which was very convenient.

I would highly recommend.

Clean comfortable quiet stay
Joanne was the perfect gist. She met us there upon arrival and showed us around the apt. We had to call once and she responded quickly. The apt was perfect for our Mayo stay. It was a spacious apt and the set up was perfect. I will definitely stay again our next visit. The convenience to grocery store, bakery, restaurants and Walgreens was a big plus. There is a park within walking distance which was perfect for my runs.

The best kept secret in Rochester❤️
We have stayed in VRBOs all over the world and few can compare to the way Joanne will respond and meet your needs. This place is ideally located to the Mayo Clinic and both Methodist and St Mary’s Hospital. It is clean and nicely furnished and has a beautiful washer and dryer that we could take advantage of during our stay. The weather was a challenge but Joanne was in constant communication to make sure we were safe and if there was anything we needed. This was greatly appreciated and does not happen at all the other VRBOs we’ve stayed in over the years. We highly recommend this property to anyone. Dr. Arnie Jostock
