Chicago Luxurious Vintage Vacation Condo

We had four staying here for several days. It is located in a nice residential neighborhood about 30 min north of the city, within a mile or so of Lake Michigan. Do get the parking if you are bringing a car, you will need it. Everything clean. Would be better with a bit more counter space in each bathroom, and also the beds were hard and had plastic protector sheets which makes them hot. Adding a 3/8" mattress pad over the protector would let them breath more and be more comfortable.

Our first HomeAway stay. Had everything we needed. Quiet and comfortable. The garage parking is important as street parking is scarce.

I stayed in the lovely garden apartment for the entire month of November 2017. I found it to be more beautiful than the pictures online even looked. The apartment was very clean, the kitchen was a dream kitchen with high-end appliances and is fully stocked with everything you might need. There was a coffee pot Available along with some other basic grocery items. The linens were very high-quality and the beds extremely comfortable. I love the walk-in shower in the master bathroom. Having an on-site manager made it very nice for any questions that I had during my stay. He was immediately available to help me.

The location is very convenient and especially close to Skokie where every shop in the world is available for your shopping enjoyment or needs. The garden apartment is located in a very quiet neighborhood and I felt safe at all times. I would stay there again with no hesitation.

We stayed in the garden unit and top floor one. Wiliam was very accommodating with our dates. Even when we thought we would have to make a change because of the hurricane in FLA where we live he helped us feel like we had a place to go and feel safe. It never came to that but we appreciated the concern. Then when we got to the units we were so happily surprised with the comfort and ease of the location and home feeling, we knew we made the right decision. This location is about a 15 min walk to either the El into Chicago or a bus ride into Evanston. There are also grocery stores or more within the same 15 min walk.

We use VRBO once or twice a year around the U.S., and this was a great place to be. Our host met us, personally showed us parking and gave a few tips on local places to eat and stock up. The garden level flat was as roomy and nicely decorated as shown in the photos, with good quality towels and kitchen items. The binder of information was very helpful, with suggested routes to get to the train (about .75 miles to the nearest Red Line stop). We rode the Red Line into the city and back for a day trip, and then on an evening trip where we came back later, we arranged in advance for private car service using the recommended company. All was smooth and convenient. We highly recommend this for a northern Chicago getaway!
