The 5 star reviews here are a bit baffling. I have stayed in over 10 rental properties in Europe over the past year, and this did not meet the same standard as any of the others. I wouldn’t necessarily say, “don’t stay here”, but be aware of the condition of the property. First, the owner lives here, and staying here is a little bit like bumming a place to stay at your old university buddy’s apartment. There was old coffee left in the coffee maker, toothbrushes left on the bathroom sink, laundry hanging up on the rack, etc. All of the other properties we have stayed at have been dedicated rental properties, so not a real comparison. Secondly, while the kitchen is updated, the place is old and in need of some serious deep cleaning and maintenance (particularly in the bathroom and flooring). In addition, the walls and ceiling are thin, so we could hear the party going on above us at 1 AM pretty well. Also be aware that while the area near Central Station does have a lot of restaurants and is convenient, on the walk from the train, you pass a couple strip clubs and sex shops as well as likely drug users (as we later found out this is a hang-out place for the drug users in the city). It’s not the southside of Chicago, so it’s not really a big deal, but just be aware, especially if you are traveling with kids. This said, the master bed was comfortable to sleep on and the Wi-Fi worked very well. Our kids loved the LEGOs. And for the location, the price is good.
