The apartment seemed old and outdated and needs a good cleaning.I didn’t like the fact the downstairs apartment would enter through our unit to get to theirs that means they would have access to our floor.I thought that was a little strange thank God no one rented the downstairs unit.

Bootcamp graduation stay

If you are looking for a place to stay for bootcamp graduation this is a great place. It’s minutes from the base. The pictures are accurate and the house had plenty of space for five people. Close to shopping, fast food, and casino.

We booked a 3 night stay at this wonderful property and couldn’t have been happier! It was located in the heart of everything we wanted and navigating our way around was easy. The house was very clean and well maintained, and had everything we needed for our stay. The property manager had excellent communication with us the entire stay. We were there to attend our son’s graduation ceremony from Navy boot camp and visit. We highly recommend this property for families looking for a safe, clean accommodation while there.

Our stay was wondering and the house is adorable. The location was convenient to the Naval base where our son is. We were there for his Navy bootcamp graduation. Nesha was absolutely wonderful and she made this trip to see our son that much better. If we come back, we hope her house is available!

Proximity to GL Recruitment Center

The proximity to Great Lakes Recruitment Center, Sarge’s Meet & Greet, restaurants, etc. is perfect. We were in town for our son’s boot camp graduation and knew we wanted more room to hang out than a typical hotel room would offer. It was great to be able to relax, watch movies, just hang out with our sailor for the precious two days we had. This place has location, location, location if you’re coming in for boot camp graduation.

Glenesha, is a wonderful host! We were in for Navy graduation first time in Illinois even, the house is out of the way of alot of noise and traffic. Easy to get in and out of drive and streets, felt like just being on a different block in my town really. The place was as listed under some touchups and remodeling or what not, so of course our luck we had a bit of a hiccup but our Host was very attentive and graceful. I would highly recommend Glenesha and her property especially after renos are complete, shes been very busy and we cant wait to see the final result! We thank her for her grace and allowance of staying in her home for our families treasured memories! Keep up the work we love what you have done with the place!

Hi, I’m Nesha, your host.

I’m based in the North Chicago area and enjoy creating clean, comfortable spaces where guests can relax and feel at home.

This home is a space I’ve been personally updating and improving over time, so it’s important to me that every guest feels welcomed and taken care of during their stay.

Outside of hosting, I enjoy working on home projects, organizing spaces, and finding simple ways to make environments feel more comfortable and functional.

I look forward to hosting you and making sure you have a great stay.
