My daughter and I scheduled an impromptu trip to Chicago to check iut an apartment near Loyola for the upcoming school year. This place was perfect for our 2 day stay. It was just as advertised. The hosts live on the property, which rendered a quick k
While the air conditioning was not cooling real well, the host provided multiple fans which made our stay more comfortable. We loved the location and general comfort of the apartment!
Seeing this listing posted just a week ago, we were excited to be so close to Andersonville. The apartment was cozy, beds were comfortable, shower was hot, and neighborhood was quiet. We truly enjoyed our stay for the weekend and will definitely return to stay again!
The apartment was perfect for our family. It is on the third floor so you do have several stairs. The apartment is very comfortable. There are places to park on the street. We were able to find a spot very close. The beds are comfortable and our family really enjoyed our stay. From the apartment, we could get to the L or to the bus stop easily. High recommend and we hope to visit again in the future! Thank you!
The space is clean, open and bright. It definitely looks good in pictures but the reality is a bit different inside. The unit has plenty of space to stretch out and be comfortable. The towels are great. The drawbacks are that it appears to be a âquick flipâ where theyâve applied a fresh coat of paint and bought a bunch of fake plants to fill the corners. Itâs a sloppy job, at best, and definitely not âluxuriousâ as the listing suggests. Worst of all is the a/c (or lack of). There are window a/cs in every bedroom that run non-stop and still donât fully cool down two of the rooms. If youâre a light sleeper, youâll have a tough time getting rest. The main living area has a portable a/c unit that is not attached to the exterior venting and so it blows as much hot air into the room as it does cool air. And the homeâs central a/c is nothing more than a fan that ran the entire time we were there. All in all, a great location but an apartment that lacks the advertised luxury and charm.
This is a super-cute 3 bedroom apartment, very clean (with a couple of tiny exceptions I discovered by accident. They were clearly innocent oversights.) This is a great neighborhood, felt very safe, close to restaurants and coffee shops. The air conditioning was not working. The first night there, (we arrived quite late at night) was awful. There were fans in the bedrooms, but I didn't want to leave the windows open at night. The next day we opened the windows to cool off, and it was much more comfortable. But we were there during very cool days in mid-May. I could not imagine being there in the summer. The only other thing that was off was that there was only one roll of toilet paper in the bathroom. We ran out the morning we were leaving. On the whole, we had a lovely stay.
Third floor apartment (be prepared for steep, narrow stairs) in an older brownstone that is not quite as advertised. Neighborhood is great, close to a couple of restaurants and a great coffee shop. Walk to red line station is about 10-15 minutes. Unfortunately, the unit just feels like a tired old place with some new paint. Bathroom floor tile is cracked with dirty grout; tub enamel is worn in places, and the faucet pushes out of the wall leaving exposed pipe. Toilet ran the entire stay, and while the owner was super responsive, they admitted that they had known it was an issue and would fix it after our stay. Kitchen has newer sink and backsplash, but older appliances and old worn looking cabinets. Biggest issue for us was the whole unit air conditioning never kept up with the summer heat and most of our stay the inside temp was between 80 and 85 degrees. While each bedroom had a window AC unit that helped, the front bedroom never really seemed to cool enough for a comfortable nights sleep. It was frustrating to not be able to spend much time in the main living space because it was so stuffy and hot. Not at all what I expect from a place advertised as updated and luxurious. The ad for this unit also lists a washer and dryer, but these were definitely not anywhere to be found. Overall I would say that the place is okay, but I would avoid it in the summer, and would definitely not stay if you are looking for luxurious and truly updated.
Only slightly long winded The good: when we arrived the apartment was 80 degrees inside with all the AC units on, not the good part. I messaged the owner and he had an additional window unit installed the same day which kept the temperatures at a manageable 72 degrees if they ran continuously. Beds were soft and pillows were very comfortable. Plenty of pillows on each bed too. Check in was easy and smooth. Close to a lot of restaurants, and close to public transportation pick upâs. Free parking if youâre home early enough to get a spot. The bad: the listing says washer and dryer included in the rental. It is not. Not only is it advertised, but I messaged the owner prior to booking and he confirmed the washer and dryer was there. I asked the owner who lives in the building and he recommended using a laundromat, which is what we had to do because we had planned on washing clothes at the apartment. It was not overly clean either. There were seasonings left on the counter from previous tenants. There wasnât broom or a mop either which was inconvenient. If weâd known about the washer and dryer we would not have booked in the first place. The ugly: the apartment is pretty outdated and the living room furniture is very uncomfortable. There is only one TV in the apartment so if you want to unwind after a long day of walking thatâs probably where youâll end up. The only AC is the window units, Iâm not from Chicago but many buildings have window units so I guess thatâs the norm.
