Great stay for birthday weekend
We had birthdays for two people in our friend group and this place was truly so fit for the celebration! The space is well decorated, well cleaned, and well lit. We had a lot of fun touring the space and jumping between rooms and floors. The walk to rainbow beach was easy to follow. Host is very clear and consistent with communication. They’re very sincere in their efforts to improve the place and make sure there’s no misunderstandings. Truly, thank you so much for your space. We’d love to come back. :))

DO NOT EVER STAY HERE
We didn’t stay we got to the location and it was in a horrible area of Chicago everything boarded up and abandoned gang graffiti everywhere house is across from low income projects. The walk to the train stop is noted as one of the most dangerous in Chicago. The house is run down needing lots of repairs. What little furniture there was is chairs that don’t match and are dirty. The beds are worn out and not remotely comfortable. The master bed was like sitting on plastic. The outdoor sitting areas are very small. No hot tub as advertised. Master bathroom is not inside the room. This was nothing like it is advertised we left and had to rent a new place to stay. The owner of the property called me a liar, said I was racist and refused to work with me at all. Still charged cleaning fee when there less than an hour. Whatever you do don’t be fooled by this horrible location and home owner.

Not happy with stay
House was dirty, VERY WARM, had ants EVERYWHERE in the beds, on both floors, hand railing was barely hanging on, had to set up another air conditioner to try and cool the house down and it never got below 75 until the outside weather was 25 degrees cooler. No couch or tv for the living area just a tow of chairs which was very awkward so it makes it very hard to congregate in the living room. The shower downstairs was cold in less than 5 minutes for each person that tried to shower even though they were more than 8 hours apart and they upstairs shower was so hot it scolded otherws. The ants were so bad we couldn't sleep because allwe could think about was then crawling around on ypu. Neighborhood was sketchy and a mattress was laid up along the gate overnight. Fire extinguishers were not easily accessible both were boxed up still and in the back of cabinets. Sketchy devil head statue in the closet and some kind of weird horse tail whip. The filter on the fridge needed replaced the smoke detector went off from 3am to about 5:30 am for the battery and the owner didn't even have someone come replace. It . We had no ladder to accesss the detector. So unhappy with VRBO as well.. Horrible customer service. Dirty dishes in the utensil drawer. Owner listed property with a fireplace and treadmill both which clearly did not exist. Never found either on the property. Dirtydishesildrawers,

Board retreat and group reception
The house is well equipped, conveniently located. Our group was comfortable staying in the house and it accommodated a large gathering of 50 or so easily. Parking for the group was challenging but our guests
figured it out. Kitchen had what we needed and the Methodist Church nearby wa very grateful for our excess catered food. one of our fellows, a piano tuner, even gave the piano a thumbs up for being in tune.

Beautiful artsy house
The property was very clean, warm and welcoming. Beds were comfortable, and kitchen well stocked. Property manager was great at checking in, and readily available. The location was close drive to downtown Chicago and soldiers field. This made it easy for us to get to the concert we were seeing at soilders field and exploring downtown. Great location and an awesome space for a group of friends to stay. The rooftop deck and balconies had views of the lake and a nice place to relax after a long day exploring. The art work was amazing . I would rate this ten stars if I could.

Prefect for anak gathering and beautifully decorated
The home is just as described in the photos. There was plenty of seating. The kitchen is nice and spacious. We had a family dinner with about 25 guests and this was perfect. The Chicago natives at the dinner fell in love with this place. The location was great for the beach, Hyde Park and downtown Chicago with minimal traffic. I would definitely recommend this place. I think it would be even better in the spring to enjoy the outdoor spaces.
