My family and I had a wonderful weekend visit to Chicago largely thanks to Arsene and his VRBO home!
The property was easy to access and the instructions for entry were clear and very helpful. The amenities in the property, such as kitchen and bathroom, were clean and had everything we needed, such as utensils, towels, and bathroom toiletries. The kitchen is brimming with spices (however, the salt container was empty). The apartment is very secure with multiple locked entrances, which the keys were clearly defined by Arsenal for their respective doors.
As a couple extra notes, we did see some cats under the cars in the gated parking lot. The cats were friendly and not aggressive, although we did have to watch out for them as we crossed the lot and entered the car. Also, the heating in the apartment is remote controlled by the owner, which wasn't ideal since I did not want to constantly bother Arsene to request a change of temperature in the apartment. It would be nice to be able to control the heating manually, but I understand that for safety reasons it would be best if the renting tenant does not blast the heating when outside of the apartment.
Other than the lack of manual heating control, the apartment was comfortable and had everything we needed for a fun stay. The TV worked well and the apartment was well secured with multiple locked gates.
Overall, I very much enjoyed the stay with Arsene and would recommend to a friend!
