Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy
• It is not beachfront. The beach is about a mile away and not a convenient walk.• The “kitchen” is not a kitchen. It’s a mini microwave, dorm-size refrigerator, and coffee maker on a shelf. You only discover this in the fine print—not the photos.• This is not a private apartment. It’s a basement in the owner’s home with no real privacy. The owners have access to the space and can enter without notice, which is especially concerning for solo travelers.• The host was difficult to communicate with. Rather than addressing our concerns professionally, he made jokes, minimized our concerns, and repeatedly read from his policy book in a condescending manner.The home and neighborhood are beautiful, clean, and appear safe. Unfortunately, the misleading listing, lack of privacy, and poor customer service outweighed those positives. We checked in, saw the property, left, and never returned.

We find this review to be extremely unfair and misleading and would like to clarify a few points for future guests.
Our listing clearly identifies the space as a private basement/garden suite with a separate entrance in our owner-occupied home. It also accurately describes the kitchenette, which includes a mini refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker. These details are not hidden. During our conversations, you acknowledged that you had not read all of the listing details.
Our listing has never advertised the property as beachfront. It states that we are conveniently located near Chicago's lakefront, beaches, McCormick Place, the Museum Campus, and downtown attractions.
Your comments regarding privacy are also inaccurate. Guests have a private entrance and exclusive use of the suite. We do not enter the space during a stay unless requested by the guest or in the event of an emergency. At no point did we enter the unit or receive any privacy concerns from you.
Finally, our communication before your arrival consisted of reminders about policies already disclosed in the listing, including registering the correct number of overnight guests and the 2:00 p.m. check-in time. Despite those reminders, you arrived two hours early expecting the suite to be ready.
We take pride in accurately representing our home, and our many positive reviews reflect the experience that guests can expect when they read the listing and book accordingly.
LaTrina is an excellent host. Everything was straightforward and communication was quick and easy. I really appreciated how cozy and at home I felt during my stay. 10/10 would recommend her in a heartbeat.
We stayed in this property while moving our son into the University of Chicago. It is conveniently located very near campus so it was easy to get back-and-forth. The owners were very easy to work with, and we enjoyed our stay
We had the best time at this little "home away from home." There was more than enough space for my friend and me, and it was a beautiful set-up! The hosts are wonderful as well. I highly recommend this VRBO!
Great stay at wonderful home. The owner created a warm and friendly environment and had everything set up to ensure a wonderful trip. The space is ideal and is located near restaurants and by Lake Shore. Would definitely stay here again!
The description was spot on. We had a great 2 night stay. The host was super kind and met us when we arrived and gave us a tour. The place was immaculate! They had a Keurig with coffee pods which was so nice. My bed was extremly comfortable. Wonderful stay and would definitely stay again!
Very clean place with some very comfortable beds. We felt right at home and it met all of our needs. In town for a convention and wanted to be away from the hotels of downtown Chicago.

Cozy private and convenient
This place was perfect for my recent stay in Chicago. It's clean quiet and secure with a private entrance for guests. Latrina and Valane are great hosts. Will happily book again any future trips to Chicago.

Jason was a great guest! He left the unit as he found it and was also able to follow the entry instructions and let himself in perfectly (which was a plus). It was a pleasure having him as a guest. We would definitely welcome him back to our home!
Clean stay and had everything we needed. Enjoyed our morning walks to the Green Line at 43rd to enjoy the city…even got to walk past Louis Armstrong’s historic home when he lived in Chicago. Wonderful breakfast at Peach’s just a few blocks away. Would highly recommend!
Rented with Valane for the marathon weekend. It was clean, quiet, away from the hustle of the city. It was super easy to navigate to expo, start lines, and sites. Loved jot beong couped up in a hotel room for the weekend
Highly recommend
Thank you so much for the great stay
Beautiful corporate apartment that was very clean. The owners had the best check-in process I've experienced with vacation rentals. They are friendly and accommodating. The neighborhood is quiet with street parking. We appreciated free and easy parking in Chicago. I would definitely stay here again.
