Style, Comfort, Sweetness and all the Mod Cons
While it may be tempting to keep this little gem of a stay a secret just for my future Chicago trips, that just wouldn’t be right or fair. Sparkling clean, fresh and new, this place looks great online and far exceeds expectations in person. Marlon and Jeff simply could not be better hosts, from easy communication, access, tips, flexibility, and downright hospitality, to their care and intention in having created a space where my husband and I could retreat and feel wrapped in style, comfort and convenience at the end of full days visiting our daughter at Loyola U. Since Covid has us avoiding restaurant dining, we picked up take-out and sat at the unit’s breakfast bar, or met our daughter at the beach with a bagel. In the unit, we had privacy and security. The place never feels like a basement – it’s clear the owners have put a great deal into a very thoughtful remodel with all the “mod cons” and beautifully selected materials, color scheme and original artwork. The spa-like shower is enough of a reason to stay here on its own. Slept well. Even the dishes, sheets and towels are high quality. It’s as though they stayed at many Airbnb rentals over their own travels and employed aspects of their very favorites as hosts. The parking was safe and plentiful right out the front door, the neighborhood is also safe and friendly for a morning/evening walk or run, the general area offers good ethnic food, big all-purpose grocery in walking distance, coffee shops, parks and is convenient to Loyola or Northwestern. Even getting downtown was super easy and pretty darn quick. Do not pick a hotel if this place is available. We will DEFINITELY stay again!
