We really enjoyed our stay in Chicago. The place was spacious and clean. The only issue we had was the AC kept cutting out. We had to get a handy man over twice, but the issue seemed to be resolved.
Just finished up a four night stay. Itâs a great apartment, everything clean and nice bedrooms and bathrooms. Also one of the better stocked kitchens for rentals that weâve seen. Old Town is also a great part of the city and it was easy to get around, with a train stop nearby and short drives downtown and north.
We were in Chicago for a week to explore various sights around downtown - exploring north & south... Science Museum, Navy Pier, Zoo, Bean, United Center, etc.We rented a vehicle, so it was 15-20 min drives to various attractions. Great price when comparing to similar places around / closer to downtown.Our family of 5 allowed for one shared room with the kids, and then individual rooms for everyone else. Three bathrooms was a game changer for our teens.re: Shared LivingThis is a shared living space - multiple units in the place.People upstairs - there are people upstairs and it is an old wood building. The people were quiet and living normally, but even walking around was quite noisy in the master bedroom.re: ParkingThe rental details clearly mentioned that parking could be a little difficult - which is true. Street parking was consistently full. There are permit-only parking spots which you have to be careful with the signs (We saw multiple cars ticketed / booted in the mornings). There are a few lots close, but definitely check out the prices and need to budget for that - 20-30 a night can add up quite quickly.re: L TrainWe didn't use the L Train, but there is a station a few min walk away... but also note that the train track is 30-40 feet away. So train noise is 24/7.re: KitchenHas most everything you need, but missing a baking sheet & proper oven mitts (tough to re-heat the delicious pizza!)Overall - loved it!
Beautiful property in an amazing neighborhood. So many great places in walking distance. It was a little difficult to regulate the temp of the house. The lower level was pretty cold compared to the rest of the house.
The house looks just like the pictures. Kitchen was clean and well stocked. Great location. However, we were concerned bc the deadbolts on two doors didnât lock. Also, the bathroom floors were not super clean, as if the cleaners just pushed around dust and hair.
We loved our stay in Old Town! Close to many fabulous restaurants and bars. Live music in the evenings. Short walk to Magnificent Mile or short Lyft ride to south end museums. This condo was very clean and quiet. Plenty of space for our adult family of 7!
