Place was great for our group of 10! Close to a bunch of bars and restaurants and short uber to most attractions. There are more stairs than we expected for someone disabled in our group (4-5 flights) but we made it work
Great location in Old Town with plenty of space for the whole family. The property was clean and well maintained. It was well stocked with everything we needed⊠except ice trays.
Great rental experience for a bigger group! Itâs a good location to get to both Lincoln Park and Downtown, and we all loved our stay. Would definitely recommend!
Negatives - maintenance, upkeep and toiletries are low budget - for example: showers have not been remodeled (old shower heads), windows need cleaning and can be tough to open/close, broken lamps/fan, etc.Still use old manual round thermostats which led to HVAC issue that took 3 days to resolve (constantly blowing cold air in cold weather)Safety concerns - Entrance is in unlit alleyway between buildings and door locks would not deter a break inPositives - great location, lots of space and beds, clean, sheets/towels smelled nice, responsive host
High school kids volunteering & enjoying the big city
I am an FCA advisor at a small rural school in Mid-Mo. We volunteer every year at the Operation Christmas Child facilities. I brought 6 high school students with me. The OCC facility is about 40 minutes from Chicago but we all wanted to experience the big city since we come from such a small rural area. The apartment was just as shown. We struggled with finding a parking spot as we drove a 10 passenger van but Dan does state that on the rental info there is no designated parking. We found a parking lot a short walk away & it worked well. There is a parking garage closer but the van wouldnât fit as it was too tall. We got to the apartment at night & struggled to find the apartment door. There are pictures attached to the check in info. I just wish it would have said the apartment door is IN the gangway as we just kept walking by it in the dark. While we were struggling Dan was quick to respond to my messages.We all enjoyed our stay!
I loved the space and our location to the attractions we visited. There was room for everyone. Dan was very responsive and handled all of my issues. The stairwell had an odor and the alley did not feel safe, but those are things out of Danâs control. What he could handle he did very well. I would actually stay here again. Just have to prepare myself for the stairs :)
Location was amazing for the marathon route. The unit was clean. The staircase heading to the unit had a strange odor. Great spot cannot beat it. The fees and Chicago taxes were steep, no fault of the owner.
This family trip works perfectly for our 12 family members. The location was great in old town and close to beach and other good places. We only wanted a mirror outside the bathroom so we do not have to wait for someone getting out of the bathroom just fto use the mirror. Otherwise everything was good.
Great location. But the apartment not what i expected
Pros: location, clean. Lots of beds
Cons: entry to apartment is super sketchy. Dark and dangerous at night. The hallway to the apartment dirty.
Noise is quite loud for 5am garbage pickup.
Furnishings very tired. Strong maple odor throughout the apartment during whole stay.
For price we paid i was expecting it to be nicer.
Location is great and it was clean. Just not worth the price point.
This rental was a great location and comfortable for our large group of 9- could have easily fit more. The apartment itself is very no frills, but easy to find, spacious, and a good deal. Dan was very responsive.
Overall the place was ok. The bathrooms were not the cleanest, there were remnants of the previous guests. If the sink ran for longer than a minute the water backed up into the other side and into the dishwasher. The air vents had a nice layer of dirt/particles on them. It would have been nice to have access to a broom and/or vacuum just in case as well.
This property is huge for a city apartment. Our family of 5 (two parents, three kids) had plenty of space. The newly updated kitchen is very pretty. It is a short walk to many restaurants and Lincoln Park Zoo. The property manager was very responsive to my questions. We would definitely stay here again.
It was super easy to get to. Great location right in old town. Just a couple blocks from the park and an easy walk to the lake. Definitely a good price and exactly what we needed.
We loved the location and cleanliness of the property. Itâs in a great safe location for getting just about anywhere in the city. Thereâs a parking garage across the street that you can get great deals with using Spot Hero. The unit was obviously recently renovated And worked out great. Lots of beds and space!
The apartment had plenty of space. The kitchen could use more cooking items. To enter the building was a little tricky for us. You have to enter a narrow alley between buildings and up stairs to get to the unit. Both of those were slightly difficult while carrying luggage and a large cooler.
