Clean home with plenty of shared space. The host was responsive and flexible in allowing us to drop bags off early given our scheduling challenges of an early flight arrival and needing to get to an afternoon baseball game.
Overall, Mariaâs place was a good fit for our large multifamily group. We enjoyed the walkable neighborhood and appreciated the large common areas to be able to hang out all together. There has been a little wear and tear on the house (most likely from previous renters), which didnât impact our stay but made the house seem a little different from the photos. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were clean, and we had no issues with the provided items except missing coffee cups. Appreciated the timely communication and easy check in process!
House workedâŠnot in listing shapeâŠcommunication slow
The house worked great for our large group of 6 adults and 5 kids. When I read one of the rules was to take off shoes inside house, I was expecting something different than we found. The walls were scuffed, the rugs were rolled, plaster patches on the wall, etc. When we asked for more coffee cups ( there were only 3), we were told that someone would bring them over. We never received any more cups. The garage might have been a 2 car garage but only 1 minivan fit and barely. There was abundant space but getting what we thought we were getting was not in the cards, I guess.
While in Chicago for the first time we stayed at this location. It served its purpose and looks just like the pictures but it could use a few upgrades: in the kitchen the pots and pans need to be updated. Several were rusted and not usable at all. Downstairs it seemed like the renovations werenât done yet or they were planning on making another bedroom? The layout was very odd. The girls did find some ants down there as well but throughout the house it seemed they didnât clean very well. It was dusty and floor was dirty. On the bright side though all the restrooms had full size shampoo and conditioners along with body wash. And when we did contact Maria during our trip she quickly fixed the issue. It is a good house but could be a great one with fixing just a few things.
Overall our stay was so so great! The area of the house was nice, quiet and safe. One thing I would say is that there were ants so we had to make sure to not leave anything around. The host was very responsive and helpful! Other than that the city was close by and there was a lot of shops/ restaurants walking distance too.
Our family of 13 rented the house for a funeral. It was perfect . Roomy, clean , and great location. Everything was in close proximity. Would book again. Maria was amazing and very responsive! Thank you!
We had a great time staying in this five-bedroom near Chicago. It was a great launching point each day for all of our activities.We cooked an entire Thanksgiving-style meal and had almost everything we needed (we brought our own baking pans). There was a little bit of a discrepancy between the online listing and the instructions in the house, but the listing owner was very responsive and understanding.
We booked this house when our condo downtown was cancelled less than 24 hours before our arrival. We were visiting my niece who moved to Chicago 4 years ago. The owners were very accommodating with allowing us to check in early (with a fee). My aunt, mom, and sister drove to Chicago, so having the off street parking was a huge plus. But what we loved most about the house was how "homey" it felt. My niece and her boyfriend was also able to stay with us because there were plenty of rooms. This saved us on a ton of time. The only real down was that I spent a small fortune on Ubers to get everywhere because of the location. And I don't know if that is a negative truly because the neighborhood was so beautiful.
We really enjoyed our stay. We were in Chicago for a birthday party. Everyone had their own space. Everyone was comfortable. Itâs exactly as described. Only thing is the parking, we had 2 cars. There was only 1 port although the listing says 2. But thereâs plenty of street parking so not an issue. The location was great. We did all the tourist related stuff: Shedd Aquarium, Planetarium, etc. everything was 20 minutes or less. The host was nice and communicative. Except for when we did have a minor issue with the front gate: someone in our group locked it by accident so we couldnât get in. We contacted the host (albeit it super lateâŠaround 11pm) but she didnât respond so we had to figure it out on our own. But other than that, Iâd highly recommend this place for large groups.
Very, very nice. Read the description closely though. I thought there was a geound floor master ensuite for elderly parents. Description talks about the ensuite and then says there are 3 other bedrooms upstairs. All 4 bedrooms are on the second level. It was a super bonus to have the inlaw suite on the basement. We put our young fanmily with the baby down there-perfect.
I arranged this stay for my wife and her college friends. They said the place was spectacular. Clean, quiet, well decorated, close to the city. She only had one request during her stay and the owner responded immediately. Also, if you are staying as a group there was plenty of on street parking if needed. Can;'t go wrong here.m
Appreciated that we were able to check in so early with the extra fee. It was a good place for a large group that spent most of their time out in the city during the day.
The amenities were passable - but lacking things like dish soap and actual towels for the kitchen.
But ultimately - I would not book this place again because there are skylights in several of the rooms - which make sleeping past sun rise pretty much impossible.
The house was beautiful. We arrived during a downpour and the basement had water leaking. The owner answered my call immediately and had someone out there to clean it up within the hour. The house was spacious and perfect for us. Very clean and beautifully decorated. The location had quick access to the expressway and was in walking distance to restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.
