Q: Is the neighborhood safe? A: Very much so. 24 hours a day.
Q: PARKING? A: Even though you don't really need a vehicle for this location in Chicago, we supply parking stickers for zone parking on the street/surrounding streets nearby. Not paying for parking in this area of Chicago is a huge plus!
Q: Do I need to bring towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, a hair dryer, or linens? A: Nope! we provide all these things.
Q: When can I check in or check out? A: Check in is 4pm and check out is 10am. Early check ins can be difficult if there are guests who check out on the same day of your check-in.
Q: Can I come and go as I please? A: Yes. And we wouldn't trust any listing with which this isn't the case.
Q: Is the place professionally cleaned between guests? A: Yes, and we take pride in providing a clean home for guests.
Q: What's my total booking price? A: We honestly have no idea. With fees included, it only shows the guest how much they pay. This figure should be present after you enter your dates. Note that, pricing varies on a daily basis, and it actually uses some crazy algorithm to adjust it automatically, so we don't actually control this.
Q: Are the beds comfortable? A: Very. Some guests say they're the best they've ever slept on!
OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE: This is a walk-up (one set of concrete stairs up to main entrance, and then one long set of carpeted stairs once entering the front entrance to get to the top living space). No elevator. If it’s challenging walking up and down stairs, this may not be the best place for you, but there is the master en-suite on the main after you enter. Bringing in luggage to the top two bedrooms may be challenging if large, heavy suitcases.

Excellent choice for a family getaway
Not only was the proximity to Wells Street. Amazing, the short block that this property on is also wonderful. If I lived in Chicago I would want to live there! The heart of old town is just steps away. We rented both the first and second floor units and it was comfortable for four siblings and spouses.

Very unique property!
Great location bars, shopping across the street also on a quiet street you don’t even have to drive anywhere if you don’t want to! We didn’t pay over $12 for an Uber to the loop/downtown. The place was clean and huge (private roof, balcony and heated tile in master) Nicole and Matt were so quick to respond with questions before our stay and have the best check in documents I’ve ever seen. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
