Everything about this property was exactly as described or even better! Very clean. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Easy to access the property and clear instructions on how to do prior to arrival. Great great location!!! Easy walking distance to so many things. Will definitely stay there again!
We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very clean and had a well-stocked kitchen. The building contains plenty of amenities, including a park-like courtyard that made our dog walks a breeze. (There is a pet deposit on top of the general deposit, but both were refunded without a problem.) We appreciated the location, which is a section of Lincoln Park we weren't familiar with but has a great selection of stores and restaurants within a short walk from the front door. Free street parking is available around the apartment, but the spots were hard to come by, so the parking garage adjacent to the building came in handy. All in all, we were very happy with the whole experience.
Host was very responsive on line. Apartment was very clean and great view from the 6th floor. Quiet at night. Workout room wonderful. Community and workspace worked great.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you loved the apartment, the location, and the well-stocked, clean space. It’s wonderful knowing the hosting experience stood out too. We’d absolutely love to welcome you back again!
Thank you for the great review! We're glad you enjoyed the clean space and felt comfortable with the secure building access. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Great location! Felt very safe. We were able to find free street parking each night. Very clean. Queen futon a little difficult to set up. No wash clothes in one of the bathrooms. It was strange that there was coffee and creamer on counter but no filters to be able to brew coffee. Needed to provide pic of ID and credit card in order to reserve which is not the norm from other VRBOs we have used. Overall a good stay and would recommend.

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the clean space, convenient location, and that you felt safe during your stay. We appreciate you noting the items that could be improved — we’ve since added extra washcloths, coffee filters, and made the futon setup instructions clearer for future guests. The ID verification is part of our enhanced security process to ensure a safe experience for everyone. We’re happy to hear you’d recommend the stay and hope to welcome you back again soon!
Communication with property manager prior to check in was good, although this is the only VRBO I’ve ever rented that requires a copy of driver’s license, etc. The property uses a phone based App called Door to access the property. They sent codes for the unit, the bicycle storage room, and the community room but failed to send codes to access the front door and the gym. It took almost 48 hours for them to send the front door code, but there was so much foot traffic we were always able to just follow someone else in. The bigger issue is that there was an electrical outage the morning after we arrived. There was a windstorm, so no fault of their’s. However, the power failure somehow knocked out the boilers that generate hot water. It took them 36 hours to restore hot water. To their credit, the management was very responsive via email. Unfortunately, they just kept telling me they thought it had been fixed. I asked repeatedly to be given access to an empty unit (numerous units listed as available for rental on their website ensure), but they refused. So I drive to Chicago on a Thursday night, worked out on Friday morning, and had no access to a shower until late Saturday night. No apologies. No discount. Nothing. But they all over making sure we vacated the unit on time Sunday morning (we had). I had an equally terrible experience seeking assistance directly from VRBO. Overall, orally the worst experience I’ve had after using VRBO for approximately 50 rentals over 20 yrs.
Thank you for your rating! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and appreciate you taking the time to review us. We hope to host you again soon for another great experience!
