We had a great stay. Everything was as described and worked properly, well stocked. A great place for families and very convenient to public transportation. The train noise did not bother us. The outside space is very nice even though we didn't use it due to the heat and wild fire smoke.
Our stay was amazing! The host communicated with us and provided ideas of things to do while we were in town. He was very friendly, attentive and replied quickly if we had a question. The location was wonderful as it was a short walk to catch the “L” for all of our adventures. We enjoyed the home! It was very clean, comfortable and perfect for what we needed! Would definitely stay again! Thank you!
We stayed here over the weekend and had a really great experience. The house itself was exactly what we needed clean, comfortable, and stocked with just about everything you could think of, which made our stay super easy.One of our favorite touches was the beautiful artwork throughout the home it really added character and made the space feel warm and inviting.The neighborhood feels like it’s up and coming and was very quiet overall, which we appreciated. You can hear the train at times, but honestly it wasn’t a big deal and didn’t take away from our stay.Overall, we really enjoyed our time here and would definitely consider staying again!
The house was beautiful! It was incredibly easy with all of the appliances, linens, etc. supplied and easily available.There were no pictures of the bedroom with 2 twin beds, so we were a little surprised when we saw this room had a day bed with trundle. However, this led to 3 teenage girls sharing the master bedroom and bed.. which they absolutely loved!I had also selected parking as an option, knowing that we were right in the heart of Chicago. There was no actual parking on the property, but available street parking outside which did make us a little nervous. We fortunately had no issues.Lastly, and most importantly, Troy was incredibly nice and professional. When an unexpected issue occurred, Troy was quickly available, very understanding, and generously accommodating.
