Beautiful apartment

I want to be clear that all my reviews consist of constructive uplifting info to help someone! I have stayed at a lot of properties through Vrbo! But I must say this was the most beautiful .This unit is absolutely mind blowing! It is so well well done colors, decor and quality. It was immaculate very warm and welcoming and and also located in a prime super safe beautiful neighborhood on the north side of Chicago a 10 min walk to some of the best bars and restaurants and also a large gay community with bars and restaurants.this was a staycation for my husband Birthday and I was overjoyed when I walked through the door of this fully equipped unit with amazing beds decor and an outstanding kitchen that offers everything you need and a gorgeous modern bathroom…everything about this unit starting in the entry way clean modern and super beautiful…the only constructive criticism I have is there is a back door that leads in to a back storage area that look really nice but it’s a little creepy because the top of the door is glass and it Looks into the back bedroom! It would be nice if they owner could frost that glass so you can’t see in the unit. Also check in was 3pm but I didn’t receive check info until after 4pm once I emailed the owner. I know things happen it was not a prob…I just know owners want you check out exactly at 11pm and renters expect the same to check in exactly at 3pm.PLEASE PLEASE DONT PASS THIS UNIT UP!

Beautiful place. The only problem was the closet light going off all night the first night and starting at 3:20 am the second night. It was finally dealt with by night 3 but led to two sleepless nights.

Perfect Chicago Location

The apartment was absolutely amazing! It’s locations was absolutely perfect as well as the neighborhood! The pictures, however, do not do it justice! My daughter described it as her “ dream Chicago apartment”! Communication with owner, Jim, could not have been any better! We will definitely try to book here again for future visits to Chicago!

great place to stay to visit Chicago

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Everything you can wish for is provided. Beds were especially comfortable. Plenty of free and safe parking nearby. Quiet area with lots of eateries nearby and a 5 minute walk to supermarket. A 15 minute walk to the red line (a day pass on CTA only $5) and quick train journey into central Chicago. Good communication with owners, who were very helpful! Only wish we had stayed longer, as plenty to see and do - we enjoyed our trip to the Skydeck of Willis tower and also the architecture boat trip from Navy Pier!
