We came for a a sad occasion, but being able to stay in this comfortable home made things so much better. My parents were comfortable and happy. Sandra was amazing and took care of us well.
Our family (4 adults) was very comfortable in this space. The neighborhood is family-oriented and safe. We walked to the water...it's that close. Communication with property manager was easy.
Nothing fancy but gets the job done if you need 3 bedrooms on the south side of Chicago.
We had a great time staying here during lollapalooza. The host was easily reached by phone and the check in/our process was simple. Renters should note that youâll be expected to fork over a $100 cashiers check for the cleaning fee upon arrival. The way the listing reads, I easily missed that thinking that only applied to larger parties and the host mentioned several others have before as well. It seems like something should be changed there... And really I feel like it hasnât been to make the place seem cheaper just so you can be shaken down for $100 after itâs too late to change your booking. The property is nice enough on a quaint street with a little bit of foot traffic. A quick google of the crime in that area shows itâs not somewhere youâd want to walk around after dark but during the daytime it seems to be a nice area. The furniture in the home is quite lacking. I will say all 3 beds must be comfortable enough that I didnât hear anyone mention bad sleep. The couch however is the most awkward thing Iâve ever attempted to sit on. Itâs actually hard to tell when you lean back if youâre indeed sitting or just preparing to tuck roll off the back of it. I did find one comfortable seating position but it required 3/5âs of the couch sections which made me feel rude while the other 5 guests were standing there. This thing should be tossed out immediately and replaced with 2 couches. The only other sitting option in the house are the 4 dining room chairs around an outdated table. And thatâs really all the furniture there is. The jbl bt speaker is a nice touch and the bathrooms were nice and clean. Low pressure and a fish bowl sink make for an awkward time washing hands and face. You also wonât be able to see your face in the vanity if you arenât at least 5â9. The single cup drip coffee maker was a pain in the ass since it took an hour to get everyone a cup. The rest of the kitchen gets the job done for breakfasts and lunches. Save yourself the frustration and do not touch the worn out painters blinds as theyâll never fold back up correctly. Real curtains are needed here as guests will not sleep past dawn with how bright the house gets by 6am.
We did smell gas at the top of the stairs outside the entry on 2 nights, possibly from the unit below ours. The host was quick to send someone out to investigate.
Overall, the place is adequate and as long as you bring good company and a nice attitude youâll have a great time. Oh and a hundred bucks.
I have nothing but good things to say about the property and Saundra Warren, the property manager. The apartment was clean and in a quiet lovely neighborhood on the south side. Saundra was on site and easy to access if we needed her. The only problem I had was with Vrbo. I never received the check-in information from them. I had to call Saundra to get the information. This is the second time I have had some issues with the Vrbo process. Thankfully, Saundra was willing to work with us since she had been having some issues with Vrbo, too. Thank you, Saundra!
Saundra arranged to rent us her own personal condo in the same building when our date change did not work for the posted condo. It was a beautiful and clean condo with elegant furnishings. It had wifi and plenty of space for our group of 5 to relax together and to prepare and eat meals during our stay. The location was convenient and she arranged for us to park our rental car in her driveway during our stay. Thanks, Saundra! We would definitely recommend this property.
Right before we arrived at the property, we were alerted by the host that the unit we had rented had been severely damaged by previous guests. So we supposedly stayed in her personal suite two floors below. The unit was clean enough, but extremely dimly lit (several bulbs were out) and shampoo/conditioner were not automatically provided. Things went far south when we all got ready for bed. There was incessant pacing, talking, dropping things on the floor above. This lasted until about 1/1:30 in the morning both nights and resumed before 6am. No amount of white noise could drown out the noise from above. The host's response was the worst part. She completely denied that this could be possible and that the guests upstairs were asleep. Not sure why we would make this up! Anyways, we'll all be catching up on sleep for a while...
Me and my guess enjoyed staying at this lovely place great neighborhood good parking and have convenient places to travel grocery stores down the street Lake Shore Drive right around the corner. The host Sandra was a great person she's very sweet down-to-earth person and she has no problem answering any questions that you may have. If your looking for a quiet place to relax with a couple friends and family this is the place for you.

We enjoyed our stay here, the property is beautiful, clean, and convenient to downtown and highways. Saundra is a wonderful host; very friendly and readily available to answer questions. She gave great recommendations for restaurants and attractions. Highly recommend this property, we will definitely stay here for future trips!
The neighborhood is gorgeous and peaceful. The space is a third story condo (no elevator, so you've been warned!) with lovely hardwood floors. Nicely furnished with great finishes. The master shower is a bit tricky trying to find the right position but the guest bathroom is a great alternative. The beds are comfy in my opinion but some may find them too firm.
The best part is Saundra, the host. She'll recommend some great restaurants and communicates well while still giving you privacy. We look forward to returning to Chicago and hope to rent this space again when we do!
