Check-in and check-out were a breeze, and the space and location was perfect base for our family adventures. The flat was thoughtfully appointed with everything we might need for our stay -- from laundry products, to kitchen ware, to forgotten bathroom toiletries. I would not hesitate to stay here again!
The place is beautiful; exactly as shown. Wish there was an option for a one hour earlier check in, but not a deal breaker by any means. Even the towels were plush and smelled nice.
This was such a great combination of fun, whimsical design and functionality. There were so many little touches that made this an easy and fun place to stay — signs in a deco design, great fridge and dishwasher, proximity to all the great restaurants and bars in Bucktown/Wicker Park and the 606. It will be my go-to recommendation in Chicago
Extended family from out of state staying together for a bridal shower in the neighborhood. We loved everything about the property, the eclectic decoration the suttle touches throughout the place and the location. We were able to walk to everything. A couple of us had rent a cars we were able to easily park on the street.
I would highly recommend this property and its owner. One of the better VRBO’s I’ve ever stayed in. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.
It was an Accurate description! There was some loud banging Saturday morning that woke us up that seem to be coming from upstairs. That was unfortunate. The floors were very squeaky, which also was unfortunate. But it was very clean and nice!
