Chicago Stay
This house was very clean, comforting and architecturally amazing. It's a15-minute drive to downtown before rush hour and generally in a good area. Had some communication with the property managers and they were very kind, easygoing and accommodating. Definitely recommend this listing.

Easy access to Downtown
Cool house to stay at and location was very easy to travel into DT Chicago. Considerably less expensive than comparable houses DT and North. Well worth staying at.

Beautiful home
The house was beautiful and had everything we needed! The only complaint is that there were air fresheners everywhere and they were a bit overpowering for us, but otherwise we really enjoyed our stay.

Family stay at Griffin Manor
Not the best neighborhood; girls were a little scared at first, but didn't have any issues. Very nice place and owner was great. He put 3 window ACs in there with isulation for us since we are used to 70 degrees. Tub had jets and was nice. Plenty of hot water. TVs a bit small. Bed was super comfy. About 15 mins from downtown, 30 in rush hour. Had a blast overall.

We love this beautiful home
The pictures don't do this home justice; it is absolutely gorgeous! We arrived late at night the day of check-in, but we were still able to take in all the beauty. The home is very secure, towels were provided, kitchen utensils were available, and there was also complimentary coffee and wine.
Additionally, there were tons of books available in a built-in bookcase for our reading pleasure. Since I am a whole nerd, I (along with my husband) took full advantage of it. I'll be coming back to town in a few months, and will be booking again just so I can relax and bask in this mansion one more time and read some more books.
We did not have to contact the owner for any reason, however he did come out to greet us when we arrived the first night. This was greatly appreciated. My 8yr old loved the home so much, she wrote the owners a letter before going to bed the first night and wanted to deliver it to them personally, but she found a nice spot in the kitchen to leave it for them.
Definitely reserve this home!!
