About this property
The Bright Retreat in Andersonville
Stay in the heart of Andersonville when you book this bright, newly renovated condo. The home is one block from Clark Street near some of Chicago's best restaurants. It is 3 blocks from the Argyle Red Line stop, which will get you to Wrigley in 15 minutes and downtown in 30 minutes.
The home includes a fully stocked kitchen, free parking spot (small and medium size cars and SUVs only, not large vehicles), in unit washer & dryer, queen-size bed, and couch with queen-size memory foam mattress.
Guests will have access to the entire place!
We will respond immediately to any questions or concerns.
Great places to eat! Including Hop Leaf and Sun Wah BBQ. Don't forget about TURTLE RACING at Joe's on Friday nights. Yes, believe it or not turtle racing is a thing.

House Rules:
1. Please read over and agree to the rental agreement before booking. Any damages or house rule violations will be deducted from the damage deposit.
2. Please note we may require that you answer a few questions after booking. We look forward to hosting you!
3. If full payment is not received 28 days prior to your stay we reserve the right to cancel your stay and keep the amount already paid
Rental Agreement and House Rules
(Once you book, you agree to all terms.)
General Principles:
• These House Rules are intended to ensure that our property and neighbors are respected. Rest assured, there should be no problems if that happens, but if you feel you cannot follow our Rules, we respectfully ask that you not book with us.
• Please respect our property and neighbors (there are families in the association) and keep noise to a minimum, especially after 10 p.m. Guests are not permitted past 10 p.m.
Zero Tolerance Policy:
• If any party that may disturb our neighbors is thrown, large or small, or anyone engages in drug use, including marijuana use, we will require you to leave the property and impose the fines below.
Damage Deposit and Fines:
• We have overwhelmingly positive relationships with our guests and are rarely forced to fine anyone. Our intent is not to prevent you and your group from enjoying yourselves. We want all of our guests to have fun! Instead, our intent is to weed out bad actors and prevent situations that may disturb our neighbors and damage our property.
• We impose fines if any party is thrown, large or small ($1,000); anyone smokes in the property ($350); the keys are not returned ($35); or any theft occurs ($500 minimum depending on the item). We may also impose a $100 fine for excessive noise.
• If you timely let us know that an item is missing or damaged, we will simply charge a replacement cost. But if this is unreported, we will impose a fine of, or reduce your damage deposit by, three times the replacement cost for the missing or damaged item.
• If the number of guests exceeds the number specified in the reservation, we will impose a $25 charge per unspecified guest each night. If the number of guests exceeds the maximum allowed by our listing, we will impose $50 fine for each extra guest each night, and either keep your damage deposit or impose a $100 fine.
• On rare occasion, when our home is left unusually dirty, the cleaner charges extra. If this occurs, you will be charged $50 for each hour of cleaning beyond the allotted cleaning time.
• Checking out after 11 a.m. on the last day of your stay may result in a $50 fine if you are not out by 11:15 a.m. and an additional $50 fine for each subsequent hour.
After Booking:
• After booking with us and before your stay, we will require you to send us a picture of your government-issued ID. (We will respect your privacy. This process is no different from a hotel requiring to see your ID upon arrival.) After receiving your ID, we will send you access instructions for the unit approximately one week before your stay or immediately if your stay is less than one week away.
• Individuals who reside locally in Chicago or in nearby surrounding areas may be asked to cancel.
• We may call you to conduct a final screening. If we reach out, access instructions will not be released until we speak. If we do not hear from you within 48 hours after reaching out for the screening, we may ask you to cancel your reservation.
Check-out:
• Check-out is at 11 a.m. on the last day of your stay. This applies to all stays unless at least one day before check-out: (1) an alternate plan has been agreed to, and (2) payment for late check-out or extending your stay has been made.
• Checking out on time is extremely important. The cleaners will clean right after your stay, and new guests often check in shortly thereafter.
The home includes a fully stocked kitchen, free parking spot (small and medium size cars and SUVs only, not large vehicles), in unit washer & dryer, queen-size bed, and couch with queen-size memory foam mattress.
