Bojan is a great communicator! He responded quickly to all of our needs. He got us Ventura cards ahead of time so we could use the busses and the train. Upon arrival, there was a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates. A perfect touch! His place is exactly like the photos and spotless. We didn’t use the kitchen to cool but it was well stocked with everything you needed to make a meal. The fridge had an ice maker so I didn’t have to buy ice for my drinks, which was a plus!
The fish tank was gorgeous. It let out the perfect amount of lighting that created a calming ambience.
We decided very very last minute to extend our stay one more day and Bojan was quick to respond and had no issues with us staying an extra day.
O’hare airport is fairly close so if you’re a light sleeper, I would recommend bringing a small fan or have a noise machine to drown out the noise. The bedroom is equipped with a ceiling fan. The fan helps with air flow but doesn’t cover up the airplane noise for light sleepers. We are not light sleepers so there was no issue there for us.
There is street parking but we never had an issue finding a spot right in front of the house. The neighbor felt safe and we would definitely book again.
For those who wanted to take public transportation downtown, it took a little over an hour to get there. You might be thinking it would be easier to drive, but trust me - the train is better. If you drove, depending on traffic, it could take you an hour and then you’re stuck trying to maneuver around people and find parking. It’s rare to find street parking around any major attractions so you’ll have to pay to park most places downtown. You do have to catch a bus that will take you to the train station, but the bus stop was super close to the house - less than a block.
Can’t wait to visit again. Thanks so much!
