10/10 Excellent

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 The only other sitting option in the house are the 4 dining room chairs around an outdated table.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.
