Better than a hotel

My daughter and I spent 3 nights at this condo. It was very nice, quiet and clean! Plenty of room and well stocked in a generous way. I prefer windows in the bedroom but there was a wall of windows in the living room. Property manager very responsive!

Nice place to stay in Evanston

Nice clean place. We liked having an indoor garage and charging station for our Tesla. Worked great! Common outdoor space is nice too.Would be more comfortable with a mattress pad covering the plastic mattress protector and more cups and glasses as well as a little repair to make the dishwasher easier to use. FYI: No AT & T cell phone connection inside

Heart of Evanston stay

An exceptional VRBO experience. Property was exactly as described in listing. Conveniently located so that we could walk easily to restaurants, ice cream, Whole Foods, Target, and L&Metra stops. The parking garage was secure with simple access that was 5 minute drive from where we needed to be on Northwestern campus or the beautiful shoreline park and beach. The unit was stocked with every possible detail for a comfortable family homestay (hand lotion, extra electronics plugs, soy sauce, non-dairy creamer, dryer sheets, beach towels, hand sanitizer, ziplocks, tips, kettle/blender). In the late evenings, our teens enjoyed wall-sized scrabble and pool in the game room, and a TV that carried Wimbledon and Stranger Things. Management was exceptionally responsive when a fuse blew out, answering emails within minutes, then fixing the situation within hours. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit to Evanston.

Peaceful Property with Parking

Stayed for a week at this condo. Very happy to have a heated garage parking space. Michelle was very informative and quick to reply to a question I had. Loved having the washer and dryer. Beds and pillows were very comfortable and kitchen had everything I needed for my stay. Loved being within eating distance to shops and restaurants in downtown Evanston. Will gladly stay here again. Condo was a great value for all of the amenities.
