Sorry for the long review but we ran into a lot of issues during our stay. We stayed at the property for 6 months while working remotely. There were many things we loved about the property; It was centrally located, the neighborhood while in the city was quiet with a few shops and restaurants within walking distance and it's close to Washington Park. Both bedrooms have comfortable king-size beds and small on-suite bathrooms.

However, it breaks my heart to leave this negative review but between the issues we encountered over our stay and now finding out the owner is claiming we did damage we unequivocally did not do, we feel it is necessary. We were more than accommodating with all the interruptions in our stay for things that should have been taken care of in between tenants that caused us to miss work and change our plans. These are just some of the issues during our stay.

For our entire stay, there was a smell in the laundry room while doing laundry. It smelled like a combination of a dead animal and sewer. Sometimes the smell was horrendously strong and occasionally it was fairly mild but it was always there. Trying to resolve the issue resulted in multiple visits and lots of investigation and communication with the property manager and owner. Related to this we also had a couple plumbing issues. In addition, there were several other visits that interrupted our stay and our work days that could have been taken care of outside of a tenants stay. For instance, the owner decided to change internet providers a few days into our stay during our work hours. That resulted in both of us not being able to work for a total of one full day.

Maintenance electric work was done on short notice that should have been scheduled outside of a tenants stay. As a result of this work our washer would not start when we had to do laundry the day before a trip. The owner offered for us to do laundry in the apartment next to us. We assumed it was unoccupied but it turned out the couple staying there were out of town. From this incident and other remarks we felt the owner came into our apartment a few times throughout our stay for no legitimate reason.

Also, there were many owner miscommunications that resulted in added stress for us. The property managers did their best to smooth things over but with a high-strung, nosey owner living on site, it was impossible for them to prevent the stress. We understand that things come up and need to be dealt with and as we said we were accommodating and understanding but with the number of non-urgent interruptions and now the claim of damage we feel like we needed to write this long review. Regarding the damage the owner is claiming, it is petty and we know we did not cause it.
