This is an absolutely beautiful and comfortable home. The location was ideal for us and street parking was available. This is one of the most user friendly home I have stayed in. The whole home is updated with lighting and flooring, wall treatments, etc., yet it has a very warm feeling from the vintage, classis decor. The beds were very comfortable, the giant couch in the front room is AMAZING! We had family over visiting a few times and never felt cramped. I highly recommend this home. The property manager lives on site and that brought us comfort.

Nicely decorated

Spent a few days in Chicago for a short family vacation. This VRBO was central to the activities we wanted to do. All went well. A few more nonessential supplies would have been handy- a broom, dish soap, kitchen wash rags for example. No big deal, just suggestions! Thanks!

Extended family get away

The property was perfect for our needs. The house was immaculate. The bathrooms were great. The kitchen was spacious. The garage parking was narrow but the description accurately forewarned of the vehicle size limitations. Location was central to our plans so we were able to drive or Uber around to our activities with ease. We would stay here again and would recommend to friends, family and anyone looking for an alternative to hotel rooms.

Amazing Evanston Brick property

Everything was as described. Pretty entry was to “beautiful lady” of a building. The unit we were in was nicely refurbished. Modern but the old building charm maintained. We traveled light so the in suite laundry was great. Brand new fridge the day we got there. Amazing bedding & towels.

Beautiful, comfortable stay

The apartment is beautifully decorated and updated. Ross, the host gave us a welcome tour and everything was clearly explained. Beds are comfortable and rooms are spacious. We were relieved our rental minivan (just barely) fit in the garage! We did the kitchen wasn't as well equipped as we would have liked, but we were cooking a Thanksgiving meal which may have been a bit ambitious. The meal turned out well and we enjoyed our stay immensely!

Great place to stay!

This was a great place to stay-- we were in Chicago for a family member's wedding, and this condo fit us all comfortably and was very affordable. The property manager was very kind and easy to communicate with. Our place was clean and had everything we needed. We were able to easily fit a pack and play in one of the rooms for our baby. The only downfall was it took a while to drive to certain areas of Chicago, but that's to be expected. The only downfall was it waexareChibustay.

Enjoyable stay

The onsite manager Ross is a wonderful host and does a great job of showing you the unit and giving you an orientation of the neighborhood. Only downside was that my rental SUV was too large for the garage. Finding street parking can be a challenge, but found good parking spots that made my lack of parallel less challenging. Highly recommend the unit. BTW, stairs only, no elevator.

On our visit we found spaciousness, convenience, locality, and peacefulness both in our rental and around. It was a nice rental as an easy home base to set out of, and a welcome respite to return to. We would rent the unit again, and do hope to be back. Very nice trip and place of stay. Thank you!
