Overall loved the space. Great neighborhood, clean inside, great space. My only 2 complaints are, 1. It smelled very strong of cat litter which was quite odd. And 2. The check in process was strange. The manager required that he meet you in person and go through each page of the binder, and go through the entire house, one by one. I have never had that happen, and it was honestly inconvenient and annoying. Luckily, the space itself was great, so I gave it 5 stars.

A visit to Chicago

This was a great place to stay for our quick visit to Chicago. It was clean, stylishly designed, and the garden apartment stayed nice and cool through a Chicago heat wave. The private garage was great, but be warned that it is small and likely will not accommodate most larger vehicles like a minivan or a 7 passenger SUV. I barely got the Dodge Durango we had rented into the garage, but it took some significant concentration. The property manager did warn me about that when he called the day before I arrived. I would not have been able to find a spot for street parking easily. Communication with the property manager was excellent.

Not at all as listed, and safety hazards

Does not have a hot tub. Only a (poorly) jetted bathtub, which is also listed separately.When I used the jets on the jetted tub, mold filled the water. On closer inspections, there is mold visibly in the jets.There are plenty of plates, cups, and silverware, but the "cookware" is very lacking.Ice maker is brokenFireplace exists, but is a gas fireplace that does not turn on, nor does it have a vent.There is NO carbon monoxide detector. There is a smoke detector, but no carbon monoxide detector is illegal in Chicago.Cabinet in the living room is broken to a dangerous degree.No DVD playerNo electric kettleNo blenderNo smart TV. There is a wallmounted flat-screen tv, but it is low resolution, no smart TV connection capabilities, and is 15 years oldNo safe (unless it is in the "utility room" that we were told not to enter.)Not in the city center. Use Google maps.Not on a lake, again use Google maps.There are 2 bedrooms, but "sleeps 6" is very disingenuous. One room is a twin, and the other is only *slightly* bigger. The sofa bed is unsleepable, even for a sofa bed, just a thin mattress topper on bars.Not near a zoo or marina (25min by Uber, or over an hour by public transit)There is no horseback riding nearby. While there is a training program for horseback riding that is a long term enrollment program semi nearby, the nearest horseback riding available to the public is 1 hour by Uber, or 3 hours by public transitScrapes, Knicks, and Dings on almost every wall.

My cousin was bitten by a spider. The lightning fixtures were dusty with spider webs orher that it was convenient place to stay. There were 2 beds and a sofa bed (not comfortable) this not a place to stay for a friend's trip if you need to sleep alone. It doesn't sleep 6 comfortably. The property was nice and responsive to meeting our needs.

Lovely Property with a Garage Available

Well maintained, tastefully decorated, and generously furnished. There were three of us but other family members visited. Parking was a bit tricky, but the caretaker, Ross, had some helpful tips, and the garage was priceless towards that end. We looked forward to wine in the private courtyard, but it rained every day. Phoo. The property has plenty of seating and dining supplies so we just ordered in. We will come again. This property suited our needs perfectly!
