I had a wonderful stay. Apartment was clean and well stocked. Communication with host was quick and responsive, I did not have any issues, but feel Jim would be very prompt in addressing anything that would come up.

Jim is an amazing host. He checked in with us throughout our stay, recommending places to visit in the area and seeing if we needed anything. The apartment is adorable and there are nice little touches everywhere. The neighborhood is great and there are a lot of great restaurants and shops within walking distance. The train is also close by. We had no issues finding street parking which is almost unheard of in Chicago! We will definitely be back for our next weekend getaway in Chicago!

Very pleased with our stay here and would highly recommend! It was the perfect home for myself, my husband and our adult daughter to stay for her graduation from Loyola. Not only was it a short distance from the campus, we also had tons of excellent dining and retail options nearby to enjoy. Andersonville is a gem! Jim is a fantastic communicative host and the home is impeccably clean and well decorated. Building and unit felt secure and parking was easy. No complaints and would definitely stay here again!

One of the nicest places I have ever booked! Fabulous decor and neighborhood is very family friendly and LGBTQ friendly and walkable. The place is spacious, modern, charming, and spotless! It has every amenity one needs. The bathroom is wonderful and kitchen was great! It is 2 blocks to the main drag of restaurants and shops. Grocery is one block away. The train is 5 blocks away.
