Rachel is an excellent host: she communicates fast, is transparent and friendly, and overall was attentive to any of our needs. Check in was clear and easy; check out even easier!
The location is a hidden gem, even with the parking. We didn’t have a problem finding parking on the same street even with the 6PM-6AM permit curfew. It was busier on the weekend though.
The home was clean, all linens were fresh, rooms were dark and the neighborhood is relatively quiet. I’m serious! It was a peaceful sleep. Yes, you will hear people coming down the steps, but that’s Chicago-living. Embrace it with grace bc it doesn’t last.
The internet was strong throughout the house, the TV functioned as if we were at home on our own ROKU, and the smart thermostat was clutch bc were comfortable the entire time (weather was unpredictable but Rachel had an umbrella 🌂)
We were able to cook breakfast and dinner while there without a hitch, and recommend bringing your own seasonings and condiments.
The bathroom was excellent!! I like my water on “ramen noodle” hot, so I was happy for it lasting long and with a good pressure that added to a comfortable stay.
Felt safe the entire time, even with a 7YO in-tow. Short walk to trains, parks, plenty of trendy restaurants, an Aldi closer than the Starbucks, and just a great way to experience Chicago no matter how you arrive.
Recommend for small families!
