Old Chicago
Property was well maintained and everything in good working order. With just a couple of small area rugs, solid floor surfaces made clean up a breeze as we headed home. Beds were very comfortable with excellent linens. Park next door was perfect for pets and for kids to play. Property manager did an excellent job of checking in and making sure we didn't have any issues or questions.

The house is split into 2 apartments but we rented the entire house. There was 7 of us and we were able to spread out. The stay was great for what we needed and our contact Aaron was wonderful and helpful. I would definitely recommend

Lots of space for our family
We were a family group in town for a large family event. The house was great for us. Plenty of bedrooms with comfortable beds. Very clean. Lots of hot water for showers and a very responsive host. The park and playground next door provided play space for the kids. We didn’t do a lot of cooking since most of our meals were provided by our weekend event but there was coffee and we found everything else we needed. The house is old but we’re from San Francisco and are used to old buildings.

Great Stay
This is a great property for a large group of people. Everyone was able to sleep in a bed with all the rooms. The host communicated well and saw to our needs. The one thing I wish I knew before coming was that this house is in fact two units, an upper unit and a lower unit, and each can only be entered from the outside. Each unit has their own kitchen, but they were not equally stocked with cookware, so finding a particular serving bowl or plate meant searching through both kitchens (which mean going outside to access the other unit). Other than that minor inconvenience, everything was great. There's a small park immediately next to the house that my group went out to play and relax in, which was nice. The house was well furnished and comfortable. Great Stay!
