Pet-Friendly Urban Chicago Vacation Rental Condo

Reviews

• Decent Stay

  4/5

  We had a good two night stay and would stay again based on location alone! However there are a few things that could make it better 1) Upon arrival it was super difficult to locate the appropriate lock box outside. There are so many and was difficult to find the one for the condo. There was no sticker on the side of it as we were advised so really was trial and error based on the pictures that were sent to me. 2) The couch is not super comfortable and caved in so we couldn't sit long after a long day out exploring. The beds however were comfortable. 3) The condo was 'clean enough' but some extra care could be had especially in the bathroom on the faucets and underside of the shower head. It's pretty bare bones condo but like I said its a great location near Loyola, safe, and we had no problem finding parking.

  A very clean and nice property. Plenty of activities nearby (food, coffee) and not a long drive from the city. My only very minor critique is that there wasn't any laundry detergent with the washer and dryer.

• It was ok. Would stay again with a few adjustments.

  We started our stay with searching for the correct lock box. I put the code into all but one box before I found it. As expensive as this rental was not having designated parking was a huge pain. The garage two blocks away doesn’t accept cash so if you don’t have your debit card your either walking back or have to do what I did and flag down a random person to pay cash and use their debit card to get you out. The add says one flight of stairs which is accurate and misleading at the same time. Yes you are on the second floor but there is physically three flights of very steep stairs to walk up. Because of this I accidentally tried to put my keys in the doors on the first floor thinking I only had one flight of stairs to go up. I eventually went up the next two flights of stairs and found the right door. 2W. Once you are in it is nice. I liked the coded door. There is only one bathroom to share between the five of us who were staying there. We couldn’t figure out why there was plastic on the pull out couch so one of my sons slept on the couch and the other slept on their floor. They could have slept in my room but the living room was the only room with a tv. The house is not baby friendly. My toddler had to stay in her play pen the entire time she was there. The bath tub does have. A jacuzzi but we couldn’t figure out if it worked or not. It was nice that a hair dryer was supplied but we didn’t use it because it was stored ext to the toilet plunger. We ended up leaving our trash in the house because I have a handicapped mom and three kids with no clue where it was supposed to go. The location was great. We were super close to the beach and lots of good food. Its only a 19 minute drive to downtown Chicago. I will say that the homeowner was very easy to get a hold of. We had an accident where my son locked the keys in the house and she very quickly called us back to help us with a spare key. Super nice woman and for that reason I would stay again. Maybe without my toddler or disabled mom lol.

• Great location in the city

  5/5

  The property was great but…the picture of the back of building parking is deceptive. There is no parking there, you are at the mercy of finding a curb spot. We did the nearby parking garage (2 block walk). Be sure to bring washing machine pods. Nice and convenient to the train. Felt safe walking in the neighborhood.
