Minimalistic

The furniture was nothing that was pictured. It said 5 could stay there, yet there was only enough silverware for 3 people. The furnishings were nothing at all as pictured in the listing. Location was okay and we didnt mind the train noise. We made due for 3 days, but the listing is totally incorrect and accommodations were uncomfortable.

Place for last minute trip

The concern we had was that this is is a split-level apartment building with stairs to all units. We have a geriatric dog who has a hard time with stairs. This is not clear in the listing. Other than that, they decorated it beautifully, but the living room furniture was not comfortable. There was a cheap futon with no arm rests and it was very hard. The only t.v. in the unit was hung so high on the wall it hurt my neck to watch a movie. As other reviews mentioned, they did not finish renovations, but that didn't affect our stay. The train is right there! Very loud horn every time. A 20 minute drive to state parks. We did like quick drive to restaurants. Bed was ok and shower was good. We had an issue when we got there, but received a partial refund, which we appreciated. The owner was very quick to respond to messages.

Okay for 1 night

The place is still in process of being renovated. There were many places where the trim was missing from closets. Parking and location was nice. Communication with the owner was good at first but the TV was NOT set up in any way. That was a bummer, as my sister and I planned on watching a movie after a long day of hiking. The Roku was not set up and we could not stream anything. No response from the owner. There were also muddy footprints in the shower when we checked in. They washed away, but I didn’t love that. Overall an okay place to crash for 1 night, but it wasn’t as nice as the photos would have you believe.

Clean, convenient, and simple

Just spent a weekend at this location in July. Apartment was cute and clean, bed was comfy, and the hostess was very easy to access if I had any questions. Would recommend.

Basic amenities only, but a good value for the price.

This is an inexpensive option for those who want to stay within 15 minutes of Starved Rock State Park. It was decorated tastefully but minimally. There were very few kitchen dishes but enough that we were able to cook. Things I wish I would have known: -Listing is an apartment, not a house. -It is very close to train tracks. The train never woke us up, but was loud during the day. -Only toilet paper and hand soap are provided in the bathroom (no shampoo, hair dryer, etc.). -No grill or area to put one. -Only 3 non-stick skillets to cook with as well as a few plates, glasses, utensils and silverware. A coffee maker with coffee pods and salt and pepper were the only other things in the kitchen. -There is very minimal living room furniture including a very small couch (small enough my husband and I couldn’t sit on it together), 2 small decorative chairs, 1 small side table and a TV on a stand. This was a clean, conveniently located apartment in a great location to several nice restaurants. While it lacked amenities, it was a great value, and we would stay here again if it was just the 2 of us.

Easy

It was not as clean. Shower could have been better, had a broken bar. Communication was good and kitchen needed more to be able to prepare meals. Otherwise good for price!
