The perfect home base
They were in town for a midweek concert. There was plenty of space for people who wanted to hang out, and having the individual rooms created space for privacy and quiet relaxation. The kitchen and dining room were gorgeous and perfect for big family style gatherings. The bathrooms were immaculate. 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone looking to stay in Chicago. We hope to be back soon.

Everything and more
We loved Bees Knees. We took a short vacation to Chicago with our son, daughter in law and grandkids. The house was perfect. We loved the decor. There were so many special and unique touches throughout the house. The kids loved the loft playroom. The adults were able to sit downstairs and easily “monitor” the kids. The beds were comfortable. The kids loved the he bunk room. The patio was inviting although it was too cold for us to enjoy it. We appreciated having a two car garage for parking we were driving large SVUs and both fit fine in the garage. The kitchen was well stocked. Adam was great to work with. Check in and check out was easy and well explained. If we are back in Chicago, we would not hesitate to choose Bees Knees.
